Easy Leads
Safely and effectively use your Token Easy Lead for loose-leash walking, transitions, and gentle corrections.
Correct Orientation (The "P" Shape)
The most critical step in using a slip lead is ensuring it can loosen instantly when pressure is released.
- Stand your dog on your left side. Hold the lead up so it forms the letter "P" (not a "q").
- Slip the loop over your dog's head from the front.
This alignment allows the ring to slide freely down and release tension immediately when you slacken the lead. If placed backward, the rope will bind in the ring and stay tight.
Neck Placemento not allow the lead to sit low on the shoulders or press against the lower throat, which causes coughing.
- Slide the lead high up on the neck, tucked right behind the ears and directly under the jawline.
This area gives you maximum physical control with minimal pressure. It keeps the dog's head upright and prevents them from leaning their full body weight forward into a pull.
Mastering "Pressure and Release" Correction
Slip leads work via quick feedback, not continuous choking.
- Keep a loose, looping slack in the 1.6m lead while walking. Your dog should have an "invisible boundary."
- The moment your dog reaches the end of the slack or begins to pull, give a quick, sideways "pop and release" flick of your wrist.
- Immediately return the lead to a completely loose state. The entire correction should take less than a second.
Use reward-based training to enforce the desired behaviour
Canine Sports & Quick Transitions
Because this lead is an all-in-one collar and leash, it is highly efficient for active environments.
- Agility & Sports: Use the quick slip-off motion to transition your dog from the holding area to the agility ring seamlessly without fumbling with buckles.
- Kennel & Grooming Transitions: Keep the loop wide when moving dogs between tables or crates, slipping it over the head instantly if a dog tries to bolt.
⚠️ Safety Rules
- Never Leave Unattended: Do not leave your dog tied up or alone while wearing a slip lead, as it can catch on objects and tighten dangerously.
- Not for Tie-Outs: This product is exclusively designed for active handler control and walking—never use it to tether a dog to a post.
- Let It Soften: Remember that your Token lead will stretch and soften slightly after its first few uses, making the slide action smoother over time.
