The ProTrain™ Essentials Braided Slip Lead is a lightweight, beautifully crafted training lead made from soft 8mm PPM rope. Designed for everyday walks, puppy training and recall work, it delivers outstanding comfort and control without compromising on quality or style.
Why We Recommend It
We searched long and hard for a slip lead that felt premium in the hand, looked great in the field and didn't cost the earth. The Essentials Braided Lead ticks every box — hand-spliced, soft on both dog and handler, and versatile enough to convert into a figure of eight lead when you need extra control. It's the lead we'd reach for every single day.
