Maverick Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hello, I am after a good heavy duty slip/tug lead. I have seen the ones on Clean Run but don't want to pay the postage from the USA. Vienna just loves to tug but I don't want to have to carry around a toy all the time.. Anyone have any suggestion on where I might find them in Australia ? Many thanks!

ness Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Somebody in WA makes them as well. I have also seen them on the Callicoma website. http://www.callicoma.com.au/leads1.htm Right down the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAX Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 http://www.freewebs.com/agilepaws/doggieitemstobuy.htm There you go, I can't see them on her site but I know she sells them because I have bought one from her. Send her off an email. Bummer your not coming to our March trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Make them yourself! Go and buy three x 10cm of stretchy material and a lead clip and basically thread the material through the gap at the end of the lead clip and start platting. You can get more technical and stitch by machine the start of the fabric once you thread it through the clip - but it is really really easy. :D Lisa Kaddatz can be contacted on [email protected] Helen in WA also makes them PM me if you want her details.

kelpiechick Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) I have made them for my dogs and for friends and they are very simple - don't even need to be sewn. Good idea to add a piece of ribbon(grosgrain) or light webbing into the fleece plait, then they don't stretch quite as much - the ones from 'Clean Run' are made like that. If you particularly want a sliplead with a tugging section in the middle, they are pretty easy to make too, but you will need a sewing machine. I made mine with webbing and D rings for the collar/lead section and sewed a fleece section into the middle specifically for tugging.

Ms James Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 We got a Sqwuggie for Bella to train with, I just hook it up to the top of my arm with the little loop thing while I'm not using it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaCharlie Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I made them myself and Im the least crafty person in the world. I even bought a cheap tennis ball tug thing (so the ball already had a hole) and threaded one end through the ball to try to encourage Charlie to tug. Like someone said, just go to spotlight and buy 3 lengths of polar fleece and plait them. It will cost a few dollars. Much cheaper and quicker than waiting for one to be delivered.

t(AD)pole Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I also made one for myself using fleece. If you want a clip on the end you can buy them from hardware stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
