Things You'll Need
- Slip collar
- Non-retractable lead
Instructions
Place your hand through the loop of the collar and allow the free end to dangle down. If the dog is on your left, hold the collar so the loop and end form a letter "P". If the dog is on your right, reverse the collar so the letter "P" is backwards. Slip the loop over the dog's head and attach the lead to the free end of the collar.
Check that the slip collar is the correct size for your dog. An improperly sized collar causes choking and injury. The collar should sit above the dog's shoulders with no more than 3 to 4 inches of slack.
Allow the dog to walk freely without pulling on the lead or collar. If the dog begins to behave poorly or pull on the lead, tug back sharply and then release to administer a correction with the collar.
