The Bisley Double Stop Slip Lead is the most versatile slip lead in the Bisley range — and the most thoughtfully engineered. Two stops, not one: the first prevents the loop from tightening too far around your dog's neck; the second prevents the loop from sliding loose when the lead is slack and your dog is walking calmly at heel. The result is a lead that's secure in both directions without requiring constant hand tension.
The standout feature is the head collar conversion — the Double Stop can be configured as a combined lead and head collar, giving handlers an additional level of control for dogs that pull or require more precise directional guidance. 8mm matt braid with leather stop and nickel adjusters. Made in the UK.
- Double stop mechanism — prevents over-tightening and prevents the lead sliding loose
- Converts to head collar — combined lead and head collar for additional control
- 8mm matt braid — robust, comfortable, substantial feel in the hand
- Leather stop — quality material that holds position reliably
- Nickel adjusters — smooth, corrosion-resistant adjustment
- Made in the UK — quality construction, built to last

The Bisley Double Stop Slip Lead is a premium UK-made slip lead with a double stop mechanism — one stop prevents over-tightening, the second prevents the lead sliding loose when slack. Converts to a combined lead and head collar for additional control. 8mm matt braid, leather stop, nickel adjusters. £11.50.
Why We Recommend It
Most slip leads solve one problem: keeping the loop from tightening too much. The Double Stop solves two: it also keeps the loop from sliding loose when the lead is slack — which is the moment most slip leads fail. A dog walking calmly at heel on a loose lead can walk out of a standard slip lead if the stopper isn't held in place by hand tension. The Double Stop's second stop eliminates that risk entirely. The head collar conversion is a genuine bonus — it gives handlers a tool that works as a standard slip lead for most situations and converts to a head collar for dogs that need more directional control. The 8mm braid is noticeably more substantial than the 6mm Super Six — it's the right choice for larger, stronger breeds. Made in the UK, which matters for quality consistency.

Bailey Says 🐾
My friends, I have opinions about leads. A lead that tightens too much is uncomfortable. A lead that slides off is embarrassing for everyone involved, especially me. The Double Stop solves both problems simultaneously, which I consider an impressive achievement in lead engineering. The head collar option is something I have experienced and I will say only that it is very effective. I am a professional and I walk correctly. But I understand why it exists. 🐾

- Dogs that require additional directional control — the head collar conversion adds precision

How To Use
- As a slip lead: form a loop and slip over your dog's head, positioning high on the neck behind the ears. Adjust the first stop so the loop sits snugly — not tight. The second stop will prevent the loop sliding loose when the lead is slack.
- As a head collar: thread the lead through the loop to create a nose band, then position the nose band over your dog's muzzle and the neck loop behind the ears. Adjust both stops for a secure, comfortable fit.
- Use the nickel adjusters to fine-tune the fit for your dog's size — the lead should be snug but never restrictive.
- To remove, slide the first stop to loosen the loop and slip over your dog's head.
Care Guide
- Rinse with clean water after use in muddy or wet conditions.
- Allow to dry naturally — do not tumble dry.
- Condition the leather stop occasionally with a quality leather conditioner to maintain suppleness.
- Check nickel adjusters periodically for wear — they should move smoothly and hold position securely.
- Store loosely coiled in a dry place.
Professional Insight
Training Academy Tip 💡
The head collar conversion is underused by handlers who haven't tried it. If you have a dog that pulls on a standard slip lead or is difficult to position precisely, configure the Double Stop as a head collar for one session and notice the difference in directional response. The nose is a much more effective point of control than the neck for dogs that lean into neck pressure. Use it as a training tool to establish the behaviour you want, then transition back to the standard slip lead configuration as the dog's response improves.

FAQs
How does the double stop work?
The first stop acts as a limiter — it prevents the loop from tightening beyond a set point, protecting your dog's neck from over-constriction. The second stop acts as a retainer — it prevents the loop from sliding loose when the lead is slack and your dog is walking calmly at heel. Together they keep the lead secure in both directions without requiring constant hand tension.
How do I convert it to a head collar?
Thread the lead back through the main loop to create a nose band. Position the nose band over your dog's muzzle and the neck loop high behind the ears. Adjust both stops for a comfortable, secure fit. The head collar configuration gives directional control via the nose rather than the neck, which is useful for dogs that pull or require more precise guidance.
Is 8mm braid suitable for all breeds?
The 8mm braid is more substantial than the 6mm found on the Super Six and is particularly well-suited to larger, stronger breeds such as Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and larger Spaniels. For smaller breeds, the 6mm Super Six may be a more comfortable fit.
What is the difference between this and the Super Six Slip Lead?
The Super Six is a 6mm single-stop slip lead — lightweight, compact, and ideal for everyday use. The Double Stop is 8mm with a double stop mechanism and head collar conversion — more substantial, more versatile, and better suited to larger breeds or situations requiring additional control. Both are excellent leads; the right choice depends on your dog's size and your handling requirements.
