Why Choose a Collared Creatures Biothane Slip Lead?

  • Quick and Easy to Use

    Slip On and Go in Seconds

    No more fumbling with clips or collars while your dog wriggles with excitement. Just slide the slip lead over your dog’s head in one smooth movement and you’re ready for your walk. It’s the simplest way to get moving without the stress of buckles or clasps.

  • Gentle on their Neck & Coat

    Comfort Without Compromise

    Some leads can rub or tangle, especially on short-haired breeds. Our smooth Biothane surface glides without snagging or pulling so your dog stays comfortable whether you’re on a quick stroll or a long adventure. Two widths mean you can choose the right fit for your dog’s size and coat type.

  • Strong and Reliable

    Built to Last Through Every Walk

    You need a lead you can trust. Biothane is abrasion-resistant, non-stretch, and stays strong no matter the weather. Paired with premium hardware that won’t rust or snap, you can feel confident it will hold up on every outing, from training sessions to off-road explorations.

  • Stays Light in all Weather

    No More Wet & Heavy Feeling

    Rain, snow, or mud won’t weigh you down. Unlike some rope or nylon, Biothane doesn’t absorb water so your lead stays light, flexible, and comfortable to hold in all conditions. You and your dog can enjoy every walk without the soggy, slippery mess.

  • Wipe Clean in Seconds

    No More Soggy, Smelly Leads

    Muddy walks shouldn’t mean extra chores when you get home. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is all it takes to clean your Biothane slip lead. No lingering smells, no dripping water in your hallway, just a fresh lead ready for the next adventure.

  • Style That Stands Out

    Colours To Match All Personalities

    A lead should look as good as it works. Pick from vibrant colours that stay bright and fresh over time and pair them with a matching Biothane collar for a complete set. Handmade in the UK by dog lovers for dog lovers!

  • Perfect for Any Type of Walk

    Training to Everyday Adventures

    One lead for every occasion. Use a shorter length for close control in busy areas, a medium for everyday walks, and a longer one for open spaces. Biothane slip leads are great for puppy training, gundog work, or just letting your dog enjoy a bit more freedom.

  • Safe and Adjustable

    A Secure Fit You Can Trust

    A slip lead should feel secure without causing discomfort. The smooth Biothane surface glides easily yet holds steady when you need it to, giving you clear communication with your dog. Its non-stretch design means you can keep consistent control.

One Smooth Movement – Ready for Adventure

Collar and Lead Juggling is Driving Me Mad

Every dog owner knows the morning routine: find the collar, find the lead, wrestle the collar onto an excited dog, then try to clip the lead while they're bouncing around. By the time you're ready, half your enthusiasm for the walk has evaporated. Multiply this by every single walk, and it's no wonder some dogs don't get out as much as they should.

A slip lead transforms this chaotic routine into one fluid movement. Slip it over your dog's head, and you're instantly ready for adventure. No separate pieces to lose, no clips to fumble with, no wrestling match before you've even stepped outside. It's the kind of simple solution that makes every walk start better.

Simplicity that works:

  • All-in-one design: Collar and lead combined in one piece.
  • Quick deployment: Ready to walk in seconds, not minutes.
  • No separate pieces: Nothing to lose or forget behind.
Collar and Lead Juggling is Driving Me Mad
Self-Adjusting Design for Confident Control

My Dog Pulls Out of Regular Collars

Some dogs are escape artists when it comes to traditional collars. The moment they see something interesting, they back out of their collar and disappear. Other dogs have thick necks and narrow heads that make standard collars unreliable.

This leaves owners constantly worried about losing control at the worst possible moment.

Our slip leads provide gentle, reliable control that adapts to your dog's movements. The design naturally adjusts to prevent backing out while remaining comfortable during normal walking. When your dog pulls forward, the lead maintains secure contact without being harsh or restrictive.

Secure control that adapts:

  • Self-adjusting loop: Tightens when needed, relaxes when calm.
  • Escape-proof design: Prevents backing out while staying comfortable.
  • Non-stretch material: Consistent pressure for clear communication.


When your dog’s safety matters, nothing beats a secure slip lead that stays in place. Choose the escape-proof solution that gives you peace of mind on every walk.

My Dog Pulls Out of Regular Collars
Three Lengths, One Perfect Solution

Finding the Right Length is Impossible

Most slip leads come in one standard length that's either too short for comfortable walking or too long for training control. You end up compromising on every walk. Either your dog doesn't have enough freedom, or you don't have enough control.

It's frustrating when you know the perfect length exists, but nobody makes it.

We've solved this by offering three distinct lengths: 1.2m for close control and training, 1.5m for everyday walks with balanced freedom, and 1.8m for maximum exploration. Instead of one compromise length, you can choose the exact right tool for your dog's needs and your walking style.

Lengths that make sense:

  • 1.2m option: Perfect for training sessions and busy environments.
  • 1.5m choice: Ideal balance for most everyday walking situations.
  • 1.8m freedom: Maximum room for exploration and exercise.

Whether you're training or exploring, the right length makes every walk easier. Pick the slip lead size that suits your dog and your routine.

Finding the Right Length is Impossible

Style That Matches Your Dog's Personality

Slip Leads Usually Look Boring or Cheap

Most slip leads are purely functional, basic colours, plain design, nothing that reflects your dog's character or your personal style. You end up with equipment that works but doesn't inspire, leading to that "it'll do" feeling instead of genuine enthusiasm for your gear.

Our Biothane slip leads combine serious performance with genuine style. Vibrant colour options let you choose something that reflects your dog's personality, while the premium materials and Yorkshire craftsmanship ensure you're proud to be seen with your lead. Function and fashion working together as they should.

Style that performs:

  • Vibrant colour options: Express your dog's personality through their walking gear.
  • Premium appearance: Materials and craftsmanship that look as good as they perform.
  • Yorkshire-made quality: Attention to detail that shows in every aspect.

Your dog’s gear should work hard and look good doing it. These waterproof slip leads prove you don’t have to choose between function and style.

Biothane Slip Leads - Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Biothane slip lead and how does it work?

A Biothane slip lead is a combination collar and lead made from waterproof PVC/TPU-coated Biothane. It works by forming an adjustable loop that slips over your dog's head, tightening gently when your dog pulls and loosening when they walk calmly. Our slip leads eliminate the need for separate collars and leads, making walks simpler and more convenient. The self-adjusting design provides secure control while remaining comfortable for your dog.

Are slip leads safe for all dogs?

Slip leads are safe for most dogs when used correctly, but they're particularly suitable for well-trained dogs and those comfortable with gentle guidance. They're excellent for dogs who tend to back out of regular collars. However, we don't recommend slip leads for dogs who pull excessively or have respiratory issues. Always ensure proper fit and consider your dog's training level and temperament when choosing any lead type.

What lengths are available for Biothane slip leads?

Our Biothane slip leads come in three lengths: 1.2 metres for close control and training situations, 1.5 metres for everyday walks with balanced freedom, and 1.8 metres for maximum exploration. This range allows you to choose the perfect length for your dog's size, your walking environment, and your training needs. All lengths offer the same waterproof performance and quality construction.

What's the difference between 20mm and 25mm width slip leads?

The 20mm width lead is ideal for small to medium dogs and provides comfortable handling for most owners. The 25mm width lead is better suited for larger, stronger dogs and those who prefer more substantial feel and control. Both widths offer the same waterproof properties and hardware options. Choose based on your dog's size and your comfort preference for handling.

Can Biothane slip leads be used for training?

Yes, Biothane slip leads are excellent for training when used properly. The 1.2m length is particularly suitable for training sessions, providing close control without excess lead to manage. The non-stretch material gives consistent feedback, while the self-adjusting design helps communicate boundaries clearly. The smooth surface won't damage your dog's coat during training exercises.

Are waterproof slip leads suitable for beach and water activities?

Absolutely! Biothane slip leads are perfect for beach walks and water activities. The waterproof coating is completely resistant to salt water, and sand won't stick to the smooth surface. After beach adventures, simply rinse with fresh water and wipe dry. The premium hardware options are chosen for their corrosion resistance, making these leads ideal for coastal environments.

How long do Biothane slip leads last?

Biothane slip leads are exceptionally durable and can last many years with regular use. The material is UV-stable, crack-resistant, and won't deteriorate like leather or fabric leads. Our handmade construction and premium hardware ensure long-lasting performance. With minimal care (simple wiping clean), these leads maintain their appearance and functionality through years of daily use.

Do slip leads work for dogs who pull?

Slip leads can be effective for dogs who pull, but they work best as part of proper training rather than as a quick fix. The self-adjusting design provides gentle correction when dogs pull forward, while the non-stretch material gives clear communication. However, for dogs with serious pulling issues, we recommend working with a professional trainer to ensure safe and effective use.

Are Biothane slip leads good for puppies?

Biothane slip leads can be suitable for puppies, particularly the 1.2m length in 20mm width. However, puppies should be comfortable with basic lead walking before introducing a slip lead. The gentle, self-adjusting design is ideal for teaching good walking habits, but always supervise puppy use and ensure proper fit. Consider starting with shorter walks to help your puppy adjust to the slip lead style.

Why choose handmade slip leads over mass-produced alternatives?

Our Yorkshire-made slip leads receive individual attention during construction, ensuring consistent quality and proper assembly. Each lead is inspected for stitching quality, hardware attachment, and finish. Handmade construction allows for better quality control than mass production, resulting in leads that perform reliably over years of use. You're also supporting British craftsmanship and local manufacturing when you choose Collared Creatures.
