Mendota Products Slip Lead, 1/2" X 6', Purple Confetti, Dogs

We only get Mendota leashes, which were recommended to us by a dog trainer. They are so durable, a well-built pit cannot break the leash by tugging. You will go flying (or your arm will fall off) before the leash will break. I never have to worry about a dog breaking the leash. Do NOTE, however, this is the 1/2" lead, not the 3/8". We only use the 1/2" because we have pits, so purchase accordingly.We have used those other flat leashes that are either slippery or rough. The flat leashes are not as comfortable when a dog yanks your arm because of the shape. And the slippery ones are hard to hold on too when the dog pulls. These leashes are round, so they don't cut into your hand like the flat leashes. Also, the flat leashes don't usually come as a slip lead.Slip leads are good for dog training. When the dog pulls, the leash tightens. If you know how to train a dog, once the dog is trained, they won't pull. If you don't know how to train a dog, this is not the leash for you.One thing about Mendota leashes is that they have leather reinforcement at the handle and at the dog end. If your dog likes to chew, they will chew the leather. That's the only time we have had to replace the leash, so just be careful not to leave the leash where your dog can get it. (Even if they don't chew the leather, they might chew the leash as well.)

Strong lead, beautiful coloring, and soft enough but it’s gentle on the dogs neck long enough to wrap around as a harness as well. Overall perfect size, and gorgeous coloring!

my bella listens better on this leash then the hook on

I love this kind of leash as it's easy to ult on your dog and they don't pull you while walking. They come in a variety of colors

(Note: I've worked as a professional dog trainer for the past 15 years.) YAY!!! This leash just WORKS in so many ways!!! Hooray and hats off to Mendota. (I bought three, I liked the first one so much: 1/2" x 4', 1/2" x 6', and 3/8" by 4'.) Here are some of the things I love about this leash: the rope is not stiff and scratchy (comfier for me AND my dog, as well as being easier on his coat), the fastenings seem really secure, the slider that keeps the collar part from slipping open is reassuringly snug, the leashes come in various widths and lengths, and they color options are pretty nice--something for everyone. I have a 50-pound Spaniel who can pull like the cutest freight train you've ever seen. Harnesses are problematic because (a) they alter his natural gait, and (b) they almost immediately create terrible knots in his "armpits." Martingale collars work pretty well with my dog, but he has wiggled around a couple of times when other people held his collar incorrectly and they basically let my dog slip out of his collar--YIKES!!! So, with some misgivings, I tried a slip lead (because he uses these in shows and rarely pulls in that context). The problem with slip leads, of course, is they just get tighter and tighter around your pulling dog's neck--not good at all!! Anyway, long story short, he seems to understand that when he's on a slip lead, he isn't supposed to pull--he simply doesn't do it. Would I recommend a sliplead for every dog? Of course not. But in the right setting, right dog, right handler, right positive training, right practice, etc., it can be a great tool. AND--it's great for those quick trips out into the yard at night while checking for critters! LAST POINT: the length INCLUDES THE NECK LOOP ("collar" part of the leash). so the 4' lead is really pretty short and will keep your dog right by your side. While you might want this in certain contexts, for everyday walking, I'd recommend the 6' length. And as far as width goes, the thicker the rope the fewer pounds per square inch of pressure on your dog's neck--so, the wider the rope, the comfier for your dog. The 1/2" width is a great middle-ground type width for the vast majority of dogs. A++ to Mendota Products for getting this product really right, and doing it in the USA! These leashes are FAR better than any other rope-type lead I've seen, which might look cool but aren't as functional as leashes.

The lead has a very thick and soft rope that makes it a bit less effective.

my dog

I tried a different training lead and was disappointed. Mendota seems to be the best!

This leash works perfectly for getting my small dog (schnauzer) to and from the car and the dog park. It's shorter than I'd use for a long walk with her, but I love the convenience of looping it over her head to get her into the car. Good quality rope, soft on hands but strong enough to hold even my large breed dog.

Ok so I was a little worried about it not being the colour "starbright" because the picture doesn't show starbright, but to my delight the package came and was starbright (to see their colours visit their website). Great quality, exactly what I wanted

Muy buena correa. Resistente y muy bonita. Cuidado, depende del color los precios cambian radicalmente. La que compré fue color mocha.

muy buena calidad de los materiales, muy resistente, lo uso con un pastor belga malinois

Excelente producto, me es muy util para sacar a pasear a mi perro el cual es un tanto inquieto ya que es un akita,pero la verdad este producto esta de lujo y se ve muy resistente.
