How to Use
Slip collars are a super simple yet highly effective tool—when used properly. They provide clear communication between you and your dog, making leash training easier and more natural. But like anything, there’s a right and a wrong way to use them. Let’s break it down.
Step 1: Getting the Fit Right
First things first—placement matters. The slip collar should sit high on the neck, just behind the ears. This gives you better control and stops pressure from being applied to the lower throat, which can be uncomfortable for your dog.
⚠️ If it’s sitting low like a regular collar, it’s not doing its job properly.
Another big one? The right size. The slip collar should be loose enough to slip on easily but not so big that it hangs too low.
Step 2: Correcting Without Constant Pressure
A slip collar isn’t meant to be tight the whole time—it should only engage when you need it to. The goal is light, clear communication.
✔️ Apply pressure when your dog moves out of position.
✔️ The moment they respond, release the pressure immediately—that’s the reward.
✔️ Never hold constant pressure—that’s not how dogs learn.
Think of it like a seatbelt locking up when you brake suddenly—pressure comes on and releases just as fast.
Step 3: The Correct Way to Put It On
There’s a right way and a wrong way to put a slip collar on, depending on which side your dog walks on.
🐶 Dog on Your Left? The collar should form a “P” shape when you slip it over their head.
🐶 Dog on Your Right? Flip it so it forms a “9” shape instead.
If it’s put on incorrectly, the collar won’t release properly, and you’ll be fighting against the leash the entire time.
Step 4: Loose Leash Walking & Engagement
A slip collar isn’t a tool to keep your dog "in check"—it’s a way to guide them and build engagement.
No pulling ahead? No pressure needed.
If they start surging forward, apply a quick leash pressure and immediately release when they respond.
Reward them for being in the correct position to keep them engaged.
If you want to keep your dog even more engaged, pair it with high-value treats (grab a treat pouch here for easy access).
Step 5: Safety & Common Mistakes
❌ Don’t leave a slip collar on an unattended dog. It’s a training tool, not a full-time collar.
❌ Avoid using constant pressure. The collar should never stay tight—timing is everything.
❌ Don’t size it too big. A loose slip collar won’t work as intended.
✔️ Use it consistently but fairly—your dog should see it as a guide, not a punishment.
✔️ Train in short sessions to build engagement and keep things positive.
Final Thoughts
Used correctly, a slip collar is one of the most effective training tools out there. Get the fit and timing right, and it makes loose leash walking, engagement, and communication simple.

I’ve now purchased a few items from PK9 including two biothane slip collars after being so impressed with the 10m biothane lead. The quality and ability to easily use this material in a variety of weather conditions and water play without losing any structure of use is fantastic and so easy to clean!. With a German x Belgian shepherd and Border Collie in the early stages of scent training and rally obedience, the slip collar makes it so easy to transition from off leash to the slip collar for dynamic super responsive control. Highly recommended!! Photo of Maize, the shepherd

Excellent Service - Fast Delievery
Strong and durable..... Love that I can adjust when putting on my dog to a width berth as she is not keen on things going over her head. This wide berth which is adjustable makes getting the Dog Slip Collar on and off easy
