The slip lead , also known as a P-leash , is a simple, effective, and often underestimated tool in dog training. Easy to put on, adjustable, and requiring no collar, it's ideal for gently teaching your dog to walk on a leash.

🔗 What is a lasso leash or P-leash?
The lasso leash is a one-piece leash with a sliding loop that goes around the dog's neck, like a collar.
It is particularly used:
- in dog training,
- during the controlled-free walks,
- or for dogs not used to harnesses.
👉 Its big advantage: no need for a collar , you slip the leash around the neck, adjust the buckle, and off you go!
🎯 Why use a slip lead to train your dog?
The lasso leash is recommended for:
- learning to walk at heel ,
- correct the tensions ,
- strengthen the teacher's listening skills ,
- gaining safety with unsocialized or young dogs.
It offers natural and immediate control without having to pull hard or injure the dog.
💡 Tip: Choose a lasso leash with an anti-strangulation system (safety stopper) to prevent it from tightening too much.
🐕 Steps to properly use a slip lead P
- Slide the leash around the dog's neck , just below the ears (control zone).
- Adjust the loop so that it sits properly without pinching.
- Secure the stop (safety lock) so that it does not tighten excessively.
- Remain calm and use short commands : stop, heel, sit...
- Correct with light pressure , never with a sharp blow.
➡️ Result: the dog understands on its own that pulling causes discomfort, and that staying calm releases the pressure.
