Thank you. I was looking for more guidance n this. And did not previously know it was called a slip lead. I thought it was a Mexican leash!

Best explanation and demonstration of use of the slip lease I have heard yet. Thanks for your work on the video.

[@theresecooper3034]

A few months ago I broke my ankle and since my 70lb lab has seemed to forgotten all of her training. I happened to see a Cesar leash pull video quite by accident and reverted back to using a training lead. Thank you, Cesar!

[@deannafalk3190]

All these people commenting on how using this leash is "lazy" and "inhumane" clearly have never walked a dog that is incredibly excitable. I've had my dog for 3 years, and have tried everything. He has anxiety issues and will go completely nuts if a person so much as looks at him a certain way. This leash isn't necessarily for the perfect pure bred golden retriever that can essentially walk itself, it's for problem dogs. So stop calling this leash and the people who use it "inhumane".

[@vegetablesforlife]

Thank you! :) People will find something to criticize about anything. Out of all the options, I've read "harness" "gentle leader" "flat collar.. At the same time, I've heard something negative about all of those. The harness pulls on their shoulders and can cause should damage. The gentle leader, if used incorrectly, can cause serious neck damage, and same with flat collars. There are pros and cons to everything. I'd like to assume that we're all trying our best but many don't see it that way. Oh well! Have you tried this lead yet? I just bought it today and the woman said keeps the walk with this short. Use it as a transitional tool and then go to a flat collar when they've learned from the corrections.

[@rythepackleader3960]

LE REDDIT COMMANDER lmfaoooo perfect

[@ScotsmanJ]

Agreed. I have a 7 month old Siberian Husky who is extremely difficult to control when he sees another dog, he even tries to wriggle out of his harness and it is really embarrassing whenever I see another dog walker. Walking him went from being great to a chore that I dreaded every time. I took him to a trainer who specialises in Huskies and she recommended a slip lead and so far it's working great. He's in no pain or discomfort whatsoever and can still open his mouth and breathe properly. It's also not a permanent thing either, when they learn to walk next to you at all times you can stop using it. I don't understand what's so inhumane about it.

[@charleskerry845]

I just bought this slip on leash and someone gave me a nasty speech about it at the store . I bought this slip on leash because when a car drive's by while I am walking the dog would lunge towards the cars. Tonight I walked the dog according to the way this video has explained how to use this type of leash . Many cars drove past us tonight while I was walking my dog and not once did the dog lunge towards the car. I do not know what is right or wrong concerning slip on leashes ,but I did notice the dog did not lunge at cars tonight. Walking him tonight was went well, he did not go left and then right side of sidewalk ,he walked along my right side (no erratic walking,no behavioral problems ). I am debating on taking this leash back to the store still ,because of the guilt a person gave me on slip on leashes even though it did seem to correct his wild behavior while walking him.

[@nino7895]

Inhumane are those normal collars that cause problems and harnesses that dig into their back when they pull.

Congratulations Andre, your dad can be really proud of you! Watching you was just like watching Cesar in a bit younger "version" (becasue he still looks ageless and young and happy like a teen! ).

How thick do you recommend the leash to be, 3/8, 1/2 inch??

[@epona9166]

When you're demonstrating the pack leader collar, you have the part that goes over the dog's neck facing the opposite of how you said it should face. You said it should come through the loop toward the handler; with the pack leader collar you have it going thru the loop away from the handler.

Can you show it on smaller breeds while walking? Holding the leash loose is automatically longer than with a bigger dog where you can hold it short and loose because their neck is closer to your hand.

[@ninjae4976]

When exactly is a choke collar preferred over a prong collar and vice versa? Any benefit of one over the other?

Prong collars aren't even legal where I live. They're too 'aggressive' on a dog and unnecessary

[@bryanjoyner2263]

That might stop He/She from unwanted behaviors, but NEVER addresses the actual underlying condition/ cause. Also, Cesar doesn’t really talk about it, but unwanted behaviors could come from medical conditions/disorders. So, you should talk to your licensed Veterinarian first! 😃

I have that similar concern. Especially if you tell me that their necks aren't fully developed until 16-18 MONTHS. Do I have to wait until that age to start using this type of leash?

[@Collieb7]

A comment with an answer to this concern would be great....I’m getting a puppy this weekend 3/7/21

[@Delightful_Addition]

This is a lovely video and excellent advice for the use of a slip lead, but I feel that there are some easier walking products out there for the average person that can be used to teach/discourage a dog from pulling so that he or she keeps pace while at the same time the product stays in place much better so that walkers do not have to constantly worry about it falling down or, worst of all, slipping off. For example, there is a harness called the Easy Walk. I know that when some people hear the word harness, they think that it will actually give the dog greater ease to pull, but this harness is actually designed as a no-pull harness, which actually gives the opposite effect to dogs that go to pull. The ring that is attached to the leash is actually located in the front so that when a dog goes to pull, it actually turns the dog around towards the walker. So the dog learns that if it pulls, it will not get to where it wants to go. I also think it is better for dogs who lunge than the slip lead because if a dog lunges ahead, it not only turns the dog around, but it actually is nowhere near the neck so that it will not come down and possibly choke the dog like a slip lead could.

[@Delightful_Addition]

Here is a video about the Easy Walk harness for anyone who is interested and wants to see how it operates. www.yourepeat.com/watch/?v=eCjurEaKyXE

[@BlueLibra20]

The easy harness doesn't work for my Olde English Bulldogge. It doesn't fit him well and he still tends to pull a lot with it on. He is between the sizesz. I tried a M and a L.

[@Delightful_Addition]

BlueLibra20 Maybe you are not fitting him properly. Maybe it is too loose or you do not have it placed properly on the body to where the straps are not where they are suppose to be. Like it has been said, if it is not fit properly, it will not be effective. I do not know if this is the case or not but those are possibilities and would be the most common reasons as to why it is not working properly.

[@BlueLibra20]

+Jeff Cares My OEB is just shaped funny I think. Even went to several stores and had someone try to fit him but his rib area is too wide.

[@Delightful_Addition]

BlueLibra20 That could be another possibility as well. I hadn't considered that strangely enough. It's unfortunate how some dogs are structured due to breeding for such odd builds and appearances. Wider shoulders, wider rib cages, shorter legs, flatter faces, and other things that prohibit them from normal movement fitting of certain doggy items or gear, or being able to full-fill certain purposes which dogs of that type or group should be able to do. But there are other harness out there besides the Easy Walk you could try. With dogs such as English Bulldogs and Olde English Bulldogges, I don't know if I would try collars or anything that goes around the neck with them. I believe that a harness is a better and safer opinion regardless of breed, but for some dogs their flatter faces and how they are built already make it more difficult for them to breath and any kind of pressure or potential pressure on the neck is not recommended.

[@jesstrainsdogs1659]

If you're thinking of buying the Pack leader collar be careful with the placement and the tightness of the strap it can constrict the dogs air way so its uncomfortable to move and breathe which could lead to serious injury. You may also wanna look at Herm Sprenger Prong Collars It applys even pressure around the top of the neck just as the slip lead does. This communicate even pressure around the upper part of the neck communicating to the dog to not pull, as a pressure on pressure off system. Pressure on when they pull and pressure off when they're heeling. Please feel free to message me if you have questions!! Also every do your research before you bash different tools. All tools can harm a dog its up to you to understand how they work to avoid injurying your dog. Your dog is more likely to be injured pulling on a flat than with either the collar I recommended or the slip lead and the other collar.

[@summerthew]

Question! I tried position the leash up high today (behind the ear) and my dog starts resisting and he really doesn't like it. May I know is it blocking his airway or he's just not submitting to me?

[@BobinaNina]

If your dog is gagging you know that the slip lead is over his/her airway. You can hear it happening.

[@summerthew]

@@BobinaNina Yes but positioning the leash high up doesn't block their airway. Positioning the leash at the bottom of my dog's neck does block the airway since he'll be breathing heavily whenever he's rushing to the front. After walking my dog for awhile I realized it's just because my dog isn't used to being restricted that way. Now he got used to it he's way easier to control and walk by my side with the collars up

[@kirkyardley761]

A lot of time you have to prime your dog to a new type of leash. A head halter takes a while and almost every dog goes bonkers. A slip takes a walk or 2 tops for most dogs. Your putting the leash on correctly (most likely)
