12mm Slip Lead
The 12mm Slip Lead from Sporting Saint is a robust and dependable training lead built for handlers who want a balance of strength, control and simplicity in one easy-to-use design. Made from a thicker 12mm braided cord, this slip lead offers added presence and handling precision compared with slimmer styles, making it suited to larger gundogs and everyday fieldwork.
Crafted to provide responsive feedback without bulk, the lead combines a smooth braided surface with a secure, adjustable stopper that holds position on the neck while still allowing effortless application and release. Its traditional slip design gives you one piece that doubles as both collar and lead, simplifying transitions between exercises and reducing gear swaps during training. Smaller enough to fold into a pocket or training bag, the 12 mm Slip Lead is both practical and effective for everyday work.
Many handlers appreciate slip leads because “they work perfectly for working dog environments such as on farms or field training, where you want the lead to sit close and deliver clear cues and control.”

Perfect For
Slip leads offer direct handler-to-dog communication by tightening and releasing smoothly around the neck as cues are applied. This design helps reinforce timing during recall, steadiness and control work, giving dogs clear feedback that supports consistent learning. The heavier 12 mm braid enhances that tactile connection, helping you make crisp corrections while still allowing freedom of movement for the dog.
