Built for regular training use and everyday walks.
Care instructions:
• Place the collar inside a sock or pillowcase to protect the hardware
• Machine wash at 30°C

Some colours may soften slightly over time due to dye concentration. This is normal and does not affect strength or performance.
Safety & Usage Notes
Safety & Usage Notes
• Always supervise your dog while using a training slip collar
• Avoid constant pressure on the neck
• Adjust the figure of 8 gently so it guides rather than clamps

If you are unsure how to use a training slip collar correctly, guidance from a qualified trainer is recommended.

FAQs
FAQs
Q: What’s the difference between a slip collar and a figure of 8?
A: A slip collar is a single loop that tightens and releases smoothly round the neck. A figure of 8 adds a second loop for extra stability that slips over the nose, helping reduce slipping on narrow-headed dogs.
Q: Where should a training slip collar sit?
A: High on the neck, behind the ears. That position gives clearer communication and helps it release properly when you relax tension.
Q: Is this suitable for puppies?
A: It can be with gentle handling and supervision, but keep sessions short and treat focused. Focus on guidance rather than correction. If in doubt, ask and I’ll recommend the best set-up.
Q: How do I choose the right size?
A: For a slip collar, measure high behind the ears. For a figure of 8, measure two points with a soft tape: (1) around the widest part of the muzzle just below the eyes, and (2) around the head just behind the ears. If you’re between sizes, go one size up for comfort.
This training slip collar is a lightweight 6mm rope option designed for calm, responsive handling on walks and training sessions. Choose a classic slip or a figure of 8 style for extra stability, then customise colours and hardware to suit your dog.
It’s made to sit high on the neck for clear communication, releasing smoothly when tension comes off. Handmade to order in my Oxfordshire studio for a clean fit and a balanced feel in the hand.
