CLEAR COMMUNICATION. CONFIDENT LEADERSHIP

The Descendant Of Wolves 8mm Slip Lead is a precision training tool designed to communicate through pressure, timing, and release. Made from 8mm custom-weave rope, it strikes a deliberate balance between strength and sensitivity.

Worn high on the neck, it allows subtle, efficient guidance without relying on strength or constant tension. Used with calm leadership and correct handling, it helps dogs understand spatial pressure, direction, and expectation with clarity rather than force.

TRAINING PRINCIPLES (What the handler does)
• Apply pressure briefly to communicate, not to restrain
• Release immediately to mark the correct response
• Timing matters more than force
• Leadership precedes correction
• Not a quick fix for pulling or behaviour challenges

BUILT FOR DOGS THAT
• Rehearse pulling or bracing against flat collars
• Test boundaries during on-lead work
• Need clearer directional information during training
• Are progressing from management to understanding

WHY IT WORKS (What the tool enables)
• High placement allows subtle, efficient communication
• Design prevents reliance on constant tension
• Clear feedback supports learning through release

IMPORTANT SAFETY
• Not designed to suppress behaviour
• Do not use as a fixed restraint or unsupervised
• Avoid constant pulling or prolonged tension
• Not a substitute for leadership or training
• Misuse increases resistance
• Seek guidance if unsure of correct use

AVAILABLE SIZES
• One Size: 120cm L

• 8mm custom-weave rope for strength and sensitivity
• Reinforced genuine leather joinery for structural integrity
• Electroplated metal hardware for corrosion resistance
• Premium rope toggle for controlled fit

Fitting & Orientation
• Position high on the neck, just behind the ears
• If dog walks on your left, ring sits on right side of the neck
• If dog walks on your right, ring sits on left side of the neck
• The collar should form a P-shape with smooth release
• Ensure a snug fit without choking
• Secure lead with spring loaded rope toggle
• Two fingers should still fit snuggly under the lead
• Recheck fit regularly, especially on growing dogs
• Must tighten and release freely without binding

WARNING
If the lead is reversed (forming a 'q-shape'), it will fail to release properly, creating constant pressure and possible suffocation.

A lead worn too low behaves like restraint rather than communication.
