    I would if I were you Sophie, although the ones Helen found on hilost look the same and even have a metal insert - no purple though which would look nice on our black dogs :D

    I was horrified to read on the amazon.de website one of the reviews saying the Moxon lead i bought was a good lead for teaching a big, strong dog that pulls on the lead to walk to heel :eek: :eek: :( I wrote a very firm review, saying it is an excellent lead, but only for dogs that already walk well to heel, and that to use it otherwise is dangerous!

    Yeah Barbara. We have a purple collar and lead for Lilly because people could never tell if she was a girl or boy, and that really got on my nerves (it shouldn't because how are they supposed to know, but it just did)
    Lol ;)

    I'm not sure Riley's masculinity could cope with purple then ;)

    Personally I think 1.5 meters is too long, 1meter is better.

    I would prefer a meter but they don't do that length unfortunately.

    I really like the look of these moxon leads, it could be a christmas present for puzzle. But only if she learns to walk nicley, some days she is brilliant others she is a lunatic, but we are slowly getting there.

    They look very smart and soft on the hand :)

    Charlie, thank you so much for the link to Hie Lost, I emailed them and have received a super one this morning, just what I have been wanting for ages. I also asked if they had one of 1m length, rather than the 1.4m on the site, and they did, perfect :D

    I couldn't agree more with this - when I was migrating away from the harness that was giving me so many problems, and Charlie still hated the flat collar (well, he still does), a slip lead was all that worked for us. But he was still lunging from time to time and I honestly had nightmares about the damage a slip lead could do and spent a huge amount of time being ready to restrain him with my hands. It's just too easy to forget that slip leads have a choke action. They would have been completely unsuitable in the early days when I was bumbling through teaching a puppy to walk on a lead, although no doubt safer in the hands of the competent!
