The Mendota Pet Slip Leash is an absolute must-have for anyone with a dog, especially if you're looking for something simple, durable, and easy to use. Made in the USA, this leash is high-quality and built to last. The slip design is perfect for quickly getting my dog in and out of the leash without any hassle, and it stays securely in place without being too tight or uncomfortable.What I really love about this leash is how lightweight and comfortable it feels, both for me and my dog. The material is sturdy but soft, which is great for long walks. It also has a great grip, so there’s no slipping from my hand, even if my dog pulls a little.Plus, the quality craftsmanship is obvious—the leash is strong and reliable, and I have confidence it will stand up to daily use. Whether you’re training or just out for a stroll, the Mendota Pet Slip Leash makes walks easier and more enjoyable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a no-fuss, well-made leash!

This lead is beautifully made and is exactly what I needed. It is attractive and works well for my 84 # Labrador.

We walk a lot off-leash but I needed a convenient way to leash my dogs if needed, these slip leads are perfect! Trying to hunt through the Aussie fur for the collar isn’t exactly a quick thing 😆 Great quality, love the real leather accents, feels comfortable to hold, they slide nicely to reward the dogs when they’re not pulling AND the colors are cute. I got the 6’, 1/2†in colors: Diamond Ruby Rasp (left) and Mocha (right).

(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.

Over the past couple of years, I’ve come into contact with a number of different types of dogs with different temperaments- some have a harder time on the leash than others. In the past, when I have brought dogs to obedience training, I have had leads like this used and recommended to me for this type of animal. Having had great success when using the slip lead with a Catahoula mix I worked with two years ago, I bought this lead (in raspberry) for a 60lb Husky-Shepard mix that I am currently working with.While she is a very strong girl, she seems to know her limits better on this leash- I will say though that with her long fur and her very tiny head, she has slipped out of this once when she was not also wearing her collar. I now have to wrap it around in front like a muzzle, simply because she occasionally becomes a danger to herself when pulling at the leash.Since beginning training with the leash, she has gotten better knowing her boundaries. However, the leash is also beginning to show wear and tear. The raspberry coloring is only the outer section of a rope, and it has become loose and stretched over the rope core. I’ve also found that the leather tab to keep the noose closed is more loose than it originally was, and slips much more easily. This also allows her more purchase on the line and for her to potentially get free.For the price, this is a good training leash- I do think though that if you have a big or strong dog, you might want to purchase a different, more heavy duty lead.

Love this for my pit mix who can really pull hard. It tightens without digging into her neck in a painful way. Makes walking her easier. Thick and strong.

No other comment needed other than it looks great, feels great, easy to use, does exactly what you need it to, and worth the money. When buying a bigger one to replace the puppy one, I intentionally sought out the Mendota and glad I did.

Great leash. Works great for our 70 lbs golden retriever. We like it way better than the clip on leashes.

Purchased and used for a month. Love that it doesn't have stretch but is already fraying :( I use only to walk my dog (she doesn't chew or anything) but the handle is already going, not great for the price.

Love these leads. Company kindly exchanged 3/8" for 1/2" as thicker.My last pair of Mendota leads last 8 yrs. So well made. Comfortable to hold, quality fixings. Very happy and fingers x they last just as long as my original Mendotas.
