Dog Leads: Frequently Asked Questions for Safe & Comfortable Walks

What type of dog lead is best for my dog?

The best dog lead depends on your dog's size, behaviour, and walking environment. Slip leads are ideal for quick control, while retractable leads as Flexi dog leads, offer freedom for trained dogs. No-pull and shock absorber leads are perfect for strong pullers. For multiple dogs, double dog leads or lead splitters provide convenience. Choose a lead that suits your dog's training and your walking habits.

How do I stop my dog from pulling on the lead?

To stop a dog from pulling on the lead, consider using a no-pull or training lead. No-pull leads reduce the pressure on your dog's neck and guide them back towards you when they pull. Training leads, on the other hand, are designed to offer greater control, helping you reinforce proper walking behavior. They are often longer than standard leads, allowing you to guide your dog more effectively and encourage good walking habits. Consistent training and positive reinforcement are key to successful leash training.

Are retractable dog leads safe?

Retractable dog leads, when used with trained dogs in open areas, provide a safe and flexible way for your dog to explore. They offer freedom within a controlled distance, allowing your dog to roam without risk. However, they may not be suitable for high-traffic areas or for dogs that are still learning leash manners. Always choose a high-quality retractable lead like those from Flexi for reliable performance and peace of mind.

What is a slip lead, and when should I use it?

A slip lead is a simple lead that loops around the dog's neck, combining both a collar and lead in one. It offers quick control and is often used for training or when handling dogs that need to be leashed quickly. However, it's important to note that slip leads, if not used correctly, can exert excessive pressure on the dog's neck, potentially causing discomfort or injury. Therefore, they should be used with care and for short-term use or training purposes only.

Can I use a long dog lead for training?

Yes, long dog leads are excellent for training, particularly for recall training. Recall training is the process of teaching your dog to come back to you when called, and long leads are perfect for this. A 10m retractable dog lead or a training lead gives your dog room to explore while ensuring they respond to commands. They are perfect for open spaces where you want to practice off-leash behaviour safely.
