KB Puppy Heel Slip Lead - 6mm PPM

Puppy Heel Slip Lead | £10.50 | Handmade in Yorkshire | Personalisation Available

The right lead for getting heel work right from day one.

Most puppies don't fail heel training. Most handlers just start with the wrong kit.

This lead is built for the early weeks - when the habit is forming, when the pup is still working out what a lead even means, and when getting it right matters more than at any other point in a dog's training.

80cm. That length is deliberate. It keeps heel in the same place every single time - close, consistent, unambiguous. A longer lead, a long line, a harness - they all introduce slack and movement and noise the pup has to filter out before they can even start learning. This lead removes all of that. The pup knows where home is. Same place. Every time. You do your job properly, and the lead does its job properly.

Non-stretch 6mm PPM rope. Most rope stretches enough that the stopper gradually migrates toward the collar ring mid-session, tightening the loop on the dog's neck without the handler noticing. This rope doesn't move. Set the stopper once. It stays.

Marine-grade hardware throughout. Ring on the collar end. Stopper included. Built to last the lifetime of the dog.

"Ordered the Jive lead and double stopper lead - both are great, well made, great service." - Tracey W., verified buyer

Also available: the Puppy Jive Slip Lead - £12.50 - the same lead with a marine-grade swivel set into the middle of the rope. Some pups move around more at heel while they're learning, and the swivel keeps the lead from twisting mid-session. Same length, same rope, same hardware. If your pup's fairly settled at your side, start here. If they're more of a wriggler, the Jive is worth a look.
