Great slip lead!

June 21, 2022

We got the 4 ft slip lead- perfect length, doesn't get caught up in pup's legs. Easy on and off. We bought extras for family retrievers.

Pros

Easy on and off, but pups don't slip out of it.

Cons

None

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.

Easy to use lead!

Pros

Easy to use and carry in pocket. Nice and soft but very sturdy.

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

Soft lead

February 8, 2022

I had one of these previously and lost it last week on a quail hunt. It's wonderfully convenient to have a lead in my game bag and pull it out when I need to control the dog. Orange is easier to see than green.

Pros

Soft and lightweight

Cons

slip lead

October 2, 2021

Picked this up for a quick and easy lead during training. Seems to be well built can be used as a short walking lead also. Would like to see a different type stop adjuster though. I think this will eventually loosen in time.

Pros

Easy too use handy too have too take control.

Cons

Stopper

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.

Great lead

April 17, 2021

This is a great lead as we don't normally have collars on the dogs. Easy to throw in a bird best for emergencies too.

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.

Fantastic leads

February 3, 2021

I have ordered a number of the 4 foot mendota slip over the last 9 or 10years. They are well constructed, rugged and perfect for use in the field or just walking the dogs. Additionally, the service provided by Gun Dog Supply is unequaled. Products ordered are more often than not shipped on the same day.

Pros

The slip lead is the best I have ever used. Great for training and the best lead for use in hunt tests.

A must have for dog training

January 18, 2021

This 4-foot slip is an essential piece of equipment for training your dog to walk with you. The mendota British-Style slip lead is high quality and the leather trim helps to limit the slip noose and protect the cord.

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

Best Lead Around

November 18, 2020

Strong enough to offer exceptional control over the dog but soft enough to ensure his/her comfort. This is the third one that I've purchased form Gun Dog. Can't be beat on quality and the price is right.

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.

We got this leash for entering the dock at Dock Diving competitions. My wife wanted a leash which allowed control of dog when in a very excited condition and also easy to remove once ready to jump. the leash works great on both accounts and is wide and soft enough not to cut into her hand

I enjoy and use every day, I was just disappointed because a piece of the braid was lose when I received it, but a lighter took care of the fray. Product is substantial and I like the leather.

Review for

November 6, 2016

I ordered two; one for Ben, the Springer, and the other because I work at a vets and find that a heavier leash is much more useful than those supplied. Also I like the 4' as I have more control moving dogs around the building, and also they are only wearing a name collar, so a standard leash is pretty useless.

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.
