How slip leads work

A slip lead is a lead and collar in one. Tension tightens the loop; release loosens it. That pressure-and-release signal is clearest when the lead is positioned high on the neck, just behind the ears, and sized correctly. All leads here are made with BioThane® stoppers for precise, repeatable fit.

Which lead is right for your dog?

The Strand — 6mm rope slip lead
A single loop that sits behind the ears. Light, responsive and clear in its signal. Best suited to dogs that already understand loose-lead walking and benefit from a more direct setup than a standard collar and clip lead. Available in any colour combination.

The Notting Hill — figure of 8 nose slip lead
Two loops: one at the collar position, one around the muzzle. Works by guiding the head rather than pulling from the neck — more effective for dogs that pull consistently because it removes the forward reward before it happens. Same 6mm rope and solid brass hardware as The Strand.

10mm adjustable slip collar
A heavier rope collar-only option for dogs where a separate lead is preferred. The wider 10mm rope sits more comfortably on larger breeds and distributes pressure more evenly across the neck.

Every piece tells you something about who made it.

Green Dog is not a brand. It is a studio. One person, one workbench, one standard. Every collar and lead is made by hand in Oxford — tested, measured, finished. You are not buying from a supply chain. You are buying directly from the person who made it.
