Mendota ProductsDog Slip Lead, xs, Seafoam

I ordered the Kelly green color based on the photo... Which honestly looks more like a teal green. That was my mistake basing it off a visual. This is more an actual green. Not faulting the seller in any way, as it clearly stated Kelly green... but wanting to let others know if you are looking for the teal/ sea foam color this is not it. Otherwise looks to be good quality and as listed

My older Mendota leashes seem to be a little thicker, even though these still say half inch. And these newer ones are made of slipperier material, which I don’t quite like as much as the older ones I have, which hold onto the slide a little bit better. I’m not sure what exact changes have been made from past versions but I’m still happy with Mendota, because knock offs tend to be even worse.

Great training tool for my 16 month old German shepherd

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.

I haven’t even used it yet and it is amazing, the slider is great and stays in place great, I was expecting it to be cheap and loose but it is tight and because the rough side of the leather is facing the rope it kinda sticks so it, I love the thinner one either the 6 ft length, I am going to use it as a head halter for my service dog in training, I find that it is better than a gentle leader because it puts less pressure on the nose and it’s lighter since it only has the one ring instead of a ring and a clip, I also use it for my chihuahua who resource guards so I can safely pull him away from whatever he has without getting bit, I love how soft it is, I bought this brand because it was highly suggested by a dog training company and I can see why, the color is so bright and vibrant and it’s just absolutely gorgeous

Still using it.. Everyday since I bought 2 years agoGood quality, stylist....

Excellent dog leash, durable and beautiful! Works wonder too. I just bought 10 more of them in different colors and sizes for my training center. Wouldnt use anything else!

Was a little heavy for my dog

Works amazing ! No pulling and my dog can't slip out of it like she could with her other collar and leash . Definitely recommend this item :)

Great slip lead. Love the colors, looks great on my big girl.
