Still the best
March 7, 2024
This was my 4th Mendota lead and it, for my money, is still the best of all leads, leashes, harnesses I've tried. Gives me control of my buddy and is comfortable for both her and me. I replace them only because I want a new one -- they don't wear out.
Pros
  • Comfortable, give great control, durable.
Cons
  • You do need to change the configuration when you're walking your dog to the left or to the right.

Simple(ly) the best
July 22, 2022
We’ve been using these for 15 years with very large dogs great Danes in English mastiffs (120-260lbs) and they simply are the best leads. They are simple effective kind, but allow the dog to understand the commands from the lead. No spoke collars no chokers simple and effective
Pros
  • Simple and effective
  • Great for boats beaches and do not stiffen up in cold or snow
Cons
  • Wear out over 7-10 years of daily use

Best lead I've found
April 28, 2021
My Katie pulls rather badly when she's walked. I've tried various leashes and leads for her and the Mendota British-Style slip lead is the best I've found. I just ordered my fourth. It's simple to put on, is comfortable for both me and Katie and it gives me more control over her in our walks than anything else I've used.
Pros
  • Simplicity of use and excellent control.
Cons
  • When it wears for awhile the "slip" feature doesn't work as well. Sometimes have to loosen by hand.
  • Well, that just means it's time to get another.

Pros
  • Well made
  • Soft in hand
  • Adjustable

Another Great Product from GunDog Supply
March 24, 2021
Once again GunDog Supply delivered a great product on schedule enabling us to worry about other things. Mendota makes terrific products. The leads are our standard tool for training and field handling. They can be used in many different configurations depending on the dog and circumstances.
Pros
  • Solid and dependable. We use orange because we trial, but there are many color and width/length choices.
Cons
  • The only downside to this great product is when I misplace or drop them. I get bummed out but happily order new leads.

Best training lead

Easy to use; easy on dog; very effective. Would not train a dog without this

great for heel-work
November 30, 2020
I've had this lead for a while and use it nearly daily with my lab puppy. It's super lightweight, yet feels sturdy. It does exactly what it's supposed to do, it tightens when you pull on it and loosens when you release the tension.
Pros
  • Weight
  • Price
  • Ease of use

Love these leads. Durable, dependable (able to safely walk big strong dogs with confidence), easy on our hands and washable. What's not to like?!

I have 3 of these leashes and they are the best I've ever had. I have used many leashes over the years while doing dog sports or just walking the dog and they are the easiest to use and most functional.

Review for Mendota British-Style 6-Foot Slip Lead
October 20, 2016
I like the leash, but I think my dog is much too young, as he bites the leash. I have tryed every thing to stop that but he likes bitter apple, vinegar, all those things. Hopefully with more training that will stop. But the leash is of excellent quality.

Absolutely love this slip lead! Perfect length if I have to harness a dog? I will definitely share this with my fellow handlers! You rock. I've ordered from other sites, but was totally disappointed... Love love your product, Julie Friedrich

July 1, 2016
Great quality materials. A perfect addition to my training tools for Cooper, our Black Labrador Retriever. The size of the lead is big enough that it doesn't kink, but still small enough for him as a puppy it isn't overbearing. Highly recommended tool for your training needs. I use this lead when I walk Cooper as well, and I have found he responds better to it than a tradition snap leash.

This lead has helped Samson learn to heal at my side during a walk. It also helps bring him to HUP much faster.

April 19, 2016
I've used this lead in the field with my hunting dogs for many years, but more recently to walk shelter dogs (mostly Pits). The lead is very strong and substantially constructed. The thickness is perfect for these strong breeds. It slips over and fits onto the head/ neck quickly which is important in getting the dogs in and out of their kennels.

The slide stop stays right where I put it so far, the slip ring releases tension immediately when slacked, substantial build quality. Fast service and was delivered to the address in less than a week. I will do business here again.

Review for Mendota British-Style 6-Foot Slip Lead
December 22, 2015
This is an excellent leash, purchased for my 9 wk old puppy. He took to it immediately. When he strains it he realizes it right away and is quick to comply with little or no direct correction other than tension. I also have had interest and questions by people complimenting my puppy and his behavior.

British-Style Slip Lead works well for all dogs. I work with dogs at a local shelter and many of our volunteers ask where they can get these leashes. The leash enables you to leash up a dog quickly and safely, and then release it easily when needed. I have ordered a number of them and recommend them to all!

I love this lead because it will relax as soon as my dog or I stop pulling against it. This is a great aid in teaching any dog not to pull on the leash, but to walk calmly with you. I love the quality.

Good lead as it is remains loose when not correcting. This allows the animal to relate to pressure and no pressure, helping to get a positive response during training.

I keep this lead in my car with me. It comes in very handy if one of my own dogs gets loose without a collar on. I also use it when I come across a stray dog that needs to be saved from busy roads. I love it! It is very well made!

I use this primarily to walk dogs at our local Humane Society. It encounters lots of un-trained, leaping pulling, leash biting and fractious dogs. This is my second leash of this type, and I find it works very well. Dogs don't get away, and it is long enough to use a barrel loop on the especially energetic pups. Great leash!
