MIK9’S SLIP LEAD
If you’ve listened to any episode of Think Like a Dog Podcast, you’ve heard us talk about the slip lead and the impact that the Power Loop can have on your leash walk!
A slip lead is an essential tool for improving communication between you and your dog—both on walks and inside the home. When used correctly, with an understanding of pressure and release, it provides clear feedback: pressure on communicates what we disagree with, and pressure off communicates what we agree with.
MIK9 slip leads are available in a variety of colors, lengths, widths, and even hands-free options, so you can choose the perfect fit for you and your dog. They also convert to the versatile “Power Loop” or “Figure 8,” giving you even more ways to achieve safe and effective communication.
