I wanted to try a slip leash, having watched 'Cesar Milan' in action, and this seems a great version! It's sturdy, without being stiff and clunky. It slips easily, is well made, and the perfect length. AND, somehow, Murphy doesn't pull so much. I was worried it'd be like a choker chain effect, but it doesn't tighten dreadfully, and loosens immediately with no distress. We're a work in progress but I'm tentatively optimistic, and this leash is reassuring!
