There are a number of "slips" out there . Chain slip is the most common. There is also a leather slip and a lead slip. A lead slip is a leash without a swivel snap at the end. You will find the lead slip and any vet office.
Unfortunately, these are synonymous with choking the dog which is totally incorrect. The proper use of the slip collar is to have the collar completely loose at all times and only give a fast and efficient “snap” to get the dogs attention.
When the chain pulls through the ring, it makes noise and it provides a small bite or pinch. It utilizes the pinch of a mother dog correcting the young. This provides an instructional correction for teaching the pup or dog.
Proper use is necessary with any type of training collar. These collars are very effective if used properly and are one of the main staples in dog obedience.
