This is the first slip leash I've bought and oh man I was missing out, it's much easier to get on and off my dog's neck than just using the tag collar, I have two dogs and this saves times and makes them more responsive to my commands (training them). The leather is good quality, I've had it for about 4 weeks and is holding real well, is beautiful too I got the chestnut color with gold accent loops and the Mendota Pet name is also in gold on the stopped, so pretty just as pictured on the website. Shipping was quick and and I think is a fair price for the construction and look of this, it sure will last years.
