Mendota Products Small Slip Solid Rope Dog Leash

I have used slip leads, from cheap to more pricey, and I have to say without a doubt our 3/8 Mendota slip is the best. I have sensory issues which makes me picky about certain textures, leashes included. The Mendota slip isn't too rough or pokey, and has a nice hand feel. On the training side of things, it is my ride or die. It is on every training session with my dog. The 3/8 inch gives a nice feed back for me and him. He is sensitive to tools such as martingales and gentle leaders but really thrives off of using the slip lead. Our leash communication has never been better. (And its very important to have!) I think my only draw back is that the leather and nylon rope does seem to become loose I have used slip leads, from cheap to more pricey, and I have to say without a doubt our 3/8 Mendota slip is the best.

I think my only draw back is that the leather and nylon rope does seem to become loose after awhile BUT I have not washed it. We have had our current one for 5 months. My concern is the leather will become dry and cracked even though they say its machine washable...to be completely honest, I would rather spend the money on a brand new one than risk it. In short: The Mendota 3/8 inch slip lead is the best slip leash I have used and will continue to use. Perfect for all sizes of dog and a great training tool. … more

We just adopted a rescue, and we're first timers. Our beautiful rescue was difficult to walk. In addition to not having a human accompanying her through the neighborhood, she's also got a lot of hound in her. She pulled me down three times! This leash made all the difference. With an amazing trainer, some consistency, and some patience, she's now a pleasure to walk. The leash enables me to give her leash cues. We love her, and we love the new leash.

I purchase this as a training tool to work on the heel command, and my pup is sensitive to the chain collars. I went with the thin option in hopes to have more control but I do not like the feel of it in my hands since it is so thin it can be hard to hold onto especially if you have an aggressive puller.

I love these leads, extremely well made. I got confused how the colors would look in person vs online since the color wasn’t consistent across all item photos. The FIRST picture is the accurate way the color will look. The photos after are great details to how it’s made but have a filter on them

My 10-week-old lab refused to walk with a harness or a leash attached to his collar. I put this on him and he was instantly comfortable and happy. He gets so excited when he sees this lead because he knows we are going for a walk.

This is a strong light weight leash lead. However, I specifically order the 6’ , 0.5” lead leash for my Eskimo dog. What happened.? They sent a 3/8” lead.? Thanks.

Have a 10 week old puppy who learned to walk nicely on this lead without pulling. We got the smaller width and it is just the right size for him.

Professional handlers use this leash and it is easy to see why. Easy to place on dog and to remove. Provides more control over dog and more comfortable for the animal than snap on collar leashes. And no collar is needed.

Mendota slip leads are my absolute favorite leads for dogs who are not big pullers! They're safer than harnesses, buckle collars and leashes, hardly ever wear out, and come in a variety of lengths, sizes and colors. I was so glad to see Chewy stock more colors and lengths! Bravo, Chewy and Mendota; you rock!!!

Perfect for two shih tzu puppies! Easy on and off, nice adjustable fit, durable and attractive. Much nicer the metal chokers. Will be purchasing two more for the females in our family. The canine family that walks together stays together!
