Mendota PetSlip Leash - Dog Lead and Collar Combo - Made in The USA - Black Confetti, 1/2 in x 6 ft - for Large Breeds

I keep getting a requests to review Mendota slip leads, so here it goes again. I've bought about 200 over the past five years, sometimes from Mendota, other times from Amazon. Price is about the same and which I order from depends on how many in-stock at either place. I use them at our local Humane Society rescue shelter. These leashes are great! Extremely durable, comfortable, and it's extremely rare that a large dog, if left alone with one, can chew through them. We go through a lot of them over the years partly from daily use but also because the dog fosterers can take them home. I haven't found a better slip lead.

This is an awesome slip lead. I have bought the 1/2” x 6’ which is plenty thick for the comfort of a 25lb Mini Bull Terrier.All the negative reviews for this are ridiculous if you don’t know how to walk a dog of and you let them pull or chew on the lead of course it going to get messed up.The rope itself is plenty strong for bigger dog however, I would not let a large breed pull on this because that is not what its intended for.

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

Purchased both a 4' and a 6' slip lead from this brand to aid in training my dogs to heel and to drop it based on my trainer's recommendation. Both have been high quality leashes and when used appropriately do not harm the dogs at all. Both my dogs love wearing their slip leads.

As our dog trainer recommended this and we love it. We position this leash high on our dog’s neck, above his theorist but behind his ears. It has stopped him pulling right away!

(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 like that the leash is soft and pliable. Colorful to quickly distinguish from other leashes. Leash and slip collar in one. When I slip this over the head of my 145 pound Great Dane puppy he knows we are in training mode. Never pulls.

I ordered this item and also one other similar item made in China. This one cost about twice as much as the MIC product...but the MIC is going back! This leash it of much higher quality and is SO much softer to the touch. I can grip this better and with less discomfort. When you think about it, isn't it worth paying a little more and getting a much better and longer lasting product? Can't go wrong with this and IT'S ABOUT TIME WE ALL FOCUSED ON BUYING FROM AMERICA AND NOT CHINA!!!

Great product, soft strong and well made

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.

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.
