| THE CONVENTIONAL TRAINING SLIP COLLAR AND 6FT (2M) LEATHER LEASH USED IN OBEDIENCE |
There is no doubt that the slip collar is the best for training, however it is imperative for the dog trainer to know how to use it correctly, otherwise it can be cruel to the dog. The purpose of the collar and leash is to quickly and effectively show the dog where he should be with respect to the handler. If the leash and collar do not work to that objective then the dog will become confused. Leather is the best material for a leash, better than webbing and chain leashes should be thrown away. The chain goes on the dog not around your hand so if you have a chain leash throw it away or use it with a lock for chaining up your bike.

| Cloth slip collars are used on young or sensitive dogs. Collar rings as well as collar thickness can be size appropriate. |
 |
| Note ring and link size |
 |
| A dress up collar has very small links and would not be good for training. |
 |
| A safe clip is one that is the correct size and is one that opens with a draw back pin instead of a press in pin |
 |
| Choose the correct size clip and leash width |
 |
| Webbed ribbon leads are used for training puppies and for indoor umbilical training where the dog stays attatched to you all the time. |
