The Ramble slip lead is handcrafted from certified climbing rope and finished entirely by hand, from the first stitch to the last heat-shrink seal. It is, quite simply, one of the most robust leads you'll ever own.
This variation is made with 9.8mm Unicore rope with an impact force guarantee of 8.2kN. Unicore technology bonds the core and sheath, it limits sheath slippage, reduces deformation, and ensures long-term durability
Our slip leads are made from a 1.8m length of rope, they end up 1.35m with the neck loop closed and the handle is 17cm long. Please note there may be slight variations due to each one being made by hand. If you require any different lengths please get in touch and we will do all we can to help.
The slip design gives you precise, responsive control on the move, perfect for training it releases cleanly the moment tension eases. A precision metal loop ensures that release is always clean and immediate, with none of the sticking or stiffness you'll find in cheaper alternatives.
The stopper won't work loose over time - no leather to soften, no thread to work loose. Just a reliable position, every single time.
The rope we use is supple to hold in your hand and will not give the bouncy feel some cheaper ropes do, works along with the metal loop for precision not confusion for the dog, making. your commands clear and concise the cornerstone for efficient and effective training.
- EN892:2012 certified climbing rope
Built to the same European standard used by professional climbers. The rope has been independently tested for tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and long-term durability - because a lead should outlast the tag it comes with.
- Hand-stitched with 0.65mm linen thread
Every join is stitched by hand using fine natural linen thread - tight, even, and done at a pace that a machine simply can't replicate. The result is a finish that looks as good as it performs, and only improves with age.
- Metal loop for immediate pressure release
The slip mechanism runs through a solid metal loop rather than a rope-on-rope junction, giving you a smooth, consistent release every time. No snagging. No hesitation. Just an immediate response when your pressure releases.
- Robust stopper
The stopper is made to stay where you set it. Unlike the leather-wrapped stoppers found on many traditional slip leads, which soften in wet weather and migrate over time, ours holds firm walk after walk, season after season.
- Marine-grade waterproof heat shrink
All joins are sealed with adhesive-lined, marine-grade heat shrink tubing. It bonds permanently to the rope, keeping moisture and dirt out of the join while adding a clean, purposeful finish.
