Enhance Your Dog’s Recall with Our Long Slip Lead

Elevate your dog’s recall training with the Zendi Long Slip Lead. Perfect for teaching your dog to come from greater distances, our lead combines superior craftsmanship with practical functionality. Handcrafted in Australia from premium 6mm UV-coated polypropylene rope, it features robust stainless steel 316 fittings and industrial-strength back-stitched joins for maximum durability.

Choosing the Ideal Length for Dog Recall Training

Selecting the right length for your recall training lead is essential for achieving optimal results. Here’s a guide to help you choose the best length for different training scenarios:

  1. 4m – Ideal for Basic Recall Training:

    • Best For: This length is excellent for when you are first starting out with recall training.
    • Why It Works: At this length, you maintain direct control over your dog, making it easier to correct and guide them during training sessions.

  2. 8m+ – Suitable for Advanced Recall Training:

    • Best For: This length offers additional freedom, making it ideal for more advanced recall training where you want your dog to practice coming from a greater distance while still being under control.
    • Why It Works: The extra length provides more space for your dog to roam, which is useful for practicing recall in larger areas or parks. It also allows for greater flexibility in various training scenarios, such as practicing off-leash recall in a controlled environment.

  3. 15m+ – Optimal for Distance Recall Training:

    • Best For: When you need to train your dog to come from longer distances, these longer leads are ideal. They are perfect for recall training in open spaces or large fields where your dog needs to learn to return from further away.
    • Why It Works: These extended lengths give your dog more freedom while still maintaining a connection with you. They are beneficial for practicing recall under real-life conditions where your dog may be at a greater distance.

Selecting the Perfect Width for Your Dog

Our training leads come in three widths: 6mm, 12mm, and 16mm, each designed to accommodate different needs:

  • 6mm Width: Perfect for smaller dogs, offering a delicate yet durable solution. Despite its lightweight design, it’s robust enough for extra large dogs and is an excellent choice for extended recall leads due to its easy handling.
  • 12mm Width: Our top-selling option, renowned for its versatility and effectiveness with all dog sizes. It strikes the perfect balance between strength and lightness, making it easy to handle even in longer recall leads.
  • 16mm Width: Perfect for medium to extra-large dogs, offering a more substantial feel for enhanced comfort in the handlers hand, especially for strong pullers. However this width can become heavy in a long recall lead

Key Features

  • Premium Durability: Made from luxurious 6mm UV-coated Australian polypropylene rope with a 500kg breaking strain. Reinforced with stainless steel fittings and back-stitched joins, our leads are built to last. Note: Guarantee does not cover chewing or misuse.
  • Enhanced Control: The collar sits high on your dog’s neck, just behind the ears, allowing for maximum control. This design facilitates firm yet gentle corrections during walks and training, easing as pressure is released.
  • Versatile Use: Ideal for recall training, walking calmly by your side, or learning new tricks. The lead is also great for beach outings and dog parks, with the stainless steel ring making it easy to slip off when not in use.

  • How to Use the Zendi Training Lead:

    1. Adjust the Loop: Start by sliding back the nylon stopper to create a loop large enough to fit over your dog’s head. Gently place the loop over their head.
    2. Position the Collar: Ensure the loop sits correctly at the highest point of your dog’s neck, just behind their ears.
    3. Secure the Collar: Slide the nylon stopper down to secure the collar section in place. This helps prevent your dog from backing out of the lead. Make sure you can fit two fingers comfortably under the collar.
    4. Ensure Proper Lead Placement: The lead should come straight through the collar ring towards you. This ensures it releases correctly after a correction. If the lead comes from under the dog’s neck or bends through the collar ring, it might not release properly, resulting in constant pressure. This could cause your dog to pull against the lead.
    5. Safety Note: Never leave a slip collar on dogs that are tied up or left unsupervised.

    Important: Never leave a slip collar on a tied-up or unsupervised dog.

Additional Tips for Effective Recall Training:

  1. Start with a Shorter Lead:

    • Begin training with a shorter lead to establish a strong recall foundation. This allows you to have more control over your dog and make corrections more easily. As your dog becomes more reliable with recall, gradually introduce longer leads.

  2. Gradually Increase Distance:

    • As your dog improves their recall, slowly increase the length of the lead to challenge them and reinforce their training. This gradual progression helps your dog adapt to coming from greater distances without feeling overwhelmed.

  3. Use High-Value Rewards:

    • Reinforce good behaviour with high-value treats, rewards or praise. This motivates your dog to return to you promptly and makes the recall command more appealing. Make sure to reward generously for successful recalls, especially at longer distances.

  4. Practice in Different Environments:

    • Train in various settings to generalize the recall command. Practice in different locations, such as parks, open fields, and urban areas, to ensure your dog responds reliably regardless of the environment. Always choose a quiet location with minimal distractions when starting out.

  5. Incorporate Distractions:

    • Introduce distractions during training sessions to improve your dog’s focus and reliability. Practice recalls in the presence of other dogs, people, or interesting scents to build a solid recall response even in challenging situations.

  6. Maintain Consistency:

    • Consistency is key in recall training. Use the same command and hand signals each time, and ensure all family members or trainers use the same cues to avoid confusing your dog.

  7. Ensure Proper Fit:

    • For longer leads, make sure the lead and collar are properly fitted to avoid tangling or slipping. Regularly check the fit and adjust as needed to ensure safety and effectiveness.

  8. Monitor Your Dog’s Body Language:

    • Pay attention to your dog’s body language and reactions during training. If they seem anxious or distracted, adjust the training approach or shorten the lead to maintain their focus and comfort.

  9. Incorporate Play:

    • Make recall training enjoyable by incorporating play. Use games like fetch or hide and seek to make the recall command fun and engaging, reinforcing the positive association with coming back to you.

  10. Practice Regularly:

    • Regular practice helps reinforce recall behaviour. Schedule frequent training sessions to keep the command fresh in your dog’s mind and maintain their responsiveness.

  11. Be Patient and Positive:

    • Recall training can take time. Be patient and maintain a positive attitude, celebrating small successes and progressively building your dog’s recall skills.

By following these additional tips, you can enhance your dog’s recall training experience, ensuring better results and a stronger bond between you and your best mate.
