How to use a Slip Lead- with Steve from Pack Leader Dogs 

You can definitely use a slip low on the neck for some pulling but if the dog really wants to pull then I agree a harness is better👍

@@PackLeaderDogs no, you definitely shouldn't.

@@PackLeaderDogs Informative video. Don't be a DICK and use a slip lead to be pulled by your dog no if's and or but's. Slip lead's aren't designed for "some pulling". Get a harness humble yourself and take the correction. You can still learn being a dog behaviourist.

@@PackLeaderDogs but roller blading is still lame

Howling Dog Alaska makes a great harness for pulling bikes, sleds etc … I ‘ve used 2 of their Distance Harness w my 2 dogs to pull pull/ride w me on a recumbent trike. Just under 20 mph w a Lab. Dogs love this!

That's what makes it all worth it for me to pump free content. Thank you for sharing and the kind words🙏

You're very welcome. So happy you found vaue in it!💕

That's the goal. So many trainers are focused on pumping treats and adrenalizing dogs for "training" when in reality most people want a chill dog who is happy as hell who listens

Me or the dog? Haha

@UCtytCvAWdWkyuWRC0WQZK5Q he's explaining correct use of a slip lead so it's not 'potentially abusive'... I don't get it if you're trolling or not? * Even the 'positive' reinforcement cult swear by it's ethical standards... what's unethical is not having control of your dog, so it potentially hurts itself or another. My Husky is stable & happy I use a slip collar?! Gives dog accountability & autonomy as it corrects self, reward it with a 'loose leash, soft hands', so what's the problem with 'slip lead' & 'negative reinforcement' when ethically utilised?... It's better then a reactive, nuerotic 'dead dog' that runs in traffic because owner unwittingly irresponsible, can't control companion, or hesitant to use 'negative reinforcement' aid to save dog from doing itself a mischief, or harming others. I know I'd rather a happy alive dog, then a dead dog.

You're very welcome and happy you found value in it!💕

Glad to hear this gave you clarity!

Hi Rita I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this compliment. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹

The leash was not designed to choke and if you are choking with this leash, it is being used improperly. Remember, what matters the most is the handler behind the tool.

So how did you train your dog to stop pulling? What was the repetition?

😊🙌

That's always the goal. A calm follower dog who is just happy all the time!

Clam😅

Slip leads used correctly are the absolute fastest way to make your dog walks calm and enjoyable. Does shovelling mouthfuls of treats into a dog to keep them in a heel position while walking work? 😅 You see it on RU-vid only with always dogs that already walk fine, never an untrained pup. We make everything so difficult these days. Slip leads are a traditional training tool that work and work consistently

At ease. 😂💪

You're welcome! He's a great guy. Crazy he was labeled aggressive by a well known dog training school that trains trainers!

He's truly a sweetheart

He's great. Calm follower who is happy as hell. Can you believe he was labeled aggressive by the "positive only" (whatever that means lol) community

@@PackLeaderDogsNah, Jake is far from aggressive. Definitely a happy pup!

@@borqueedits train it.

That’s what harnesses are for. But I really hate when people accuse slip leads as torture devices. They’re not. I’ve heard so many people talk about how you shouldn’t use a slip to correct pulling behaviors. It’s not going to hurt them. Even prong collars don’t hurt the dog if they’re used correctly. A regular collar is going to hurt them way more, because the pressure is completely focused on the throat whereas a slip or prong collar when used correctly applies even pressure around the entire circumference of the neck, minimizing concentrated pressure. I’ve put both of them on my own neck just to see if they were really that bad for a dog. They aren’t. They’re a tad uncomfortable, but painless. That’s the point. Add in some discomfort, and the dog will associate the behavior with that feeling. And yes, using it for trying to get your dog to pull you on roller blades would be sending some very strange signals and put them in a constant state of discomfort.

The POSITION of the slip lead low on the dog’s neck is not dangerous to the dog.

I use a sled dog harness for pulling it is very well designed.

you're so fake

i’ve been having the same problem

I agree as soon as you relax the lead it makes its way down the neck, they dont cover that or show close up demonstration of check with reactive dog.

Use treats and a gentle leader! Those together are amazing!

You can use a harness and many tools. The thing with harness is you can put maximum pressure and sometimes not influence the dog at all. That gets them used to pressure and pulling. I'd assess whether or not the dog is being fulfilled with enough mental & physical exercise. You can consider a back pack for higher energy dogs. Remember the tool is not as important as the understanding of dog Psychology and the handler holding that tool.

That does happen on Young and short haired dogs - Lead slips down their slender Uni-Size Neck. So I have found as my pup has matured and her normal Collar that contains our Contact Info if Lost and her Rabies tag and License - That collar acts a stop. and helps hold up the Slip Leash. Other than that, just gotta keep it adjusted, continue readjusting.

Amazon!

We will be releasing a leash by either the end of this year or early next year!

funny how they don't respond to this very frequent occurrence.......so annoying!

You are right but if they bite it will be nasty😬

This is an excellent question. I have a Basset Hound and it does the same thing. It falls down and gets trapped in his neck rolls thereby choking him when he pulls. A martingale collar does the same. A harness, forget it. He’s 91 lbs.

All depends on the handler and the breed does matter a bit as well at that stage

Thanks bro!

A slip lead is not going to help a reactive dog; it just adds more stress. Use distraction training instead. Look up the "Engage, Disengage Game"

Mine does that sometimes if he pulls too much

@@borqueedits it works wonders on mine, as long as your using it properly on a short lead 😊

ok

Mine was almost instant My technique was if the dog has alot of energy you need to release that energy i'll use a harness to let them pull sometimes i'll run with them so they can release their energy and they'll stop pulling once they're in a slip lead

It may mean you are pulling back or letting the dog go in front before applying pressure. Better to apply pressure up before they go in front or to the side if the get in front to create a more out of balance experience.
