KONOS
Please note that our rolled BioThane leashes are handmade to order and take 1-2 weeks for production before we ship them.
Introducing our Trainer Slip Lead, the go-to choice for both dog owners and professional dog trainers. Handcrafted upon order, each slip dog leash is meticulously made from rolled BioThane, offering unmatched strength and durability.
We make our lightweight slip leads using a custom-designed, high-quality secure metal stopper that ensures the loop stays in place, making it ideal for leash pressure training while prioritizing the safety and well-being of your dog.
Measuring just over 5ft end to end (or 7ft), the slip lead varies between 4ft to 4.5ft (or 6ft to 6.5ft) after putting it on your dog's neck, depending on the size of the dog.
Available in both thumb loop and drag line options, the Trainer Slip Lead provides versatility for different dog training scenarios. The thumb loop option ensures a secure grip, while the mini-loop drag line option is perfect for house training, allowing your dog to safely drag the leash. Please note: Our Mini-Loop Drag Line option has a small 1" loop at the end for the option to connect another KONOS leash to add length.
Also note: O-ring is made of stainless steel, not black as shown in the photos.
Trust in the reliability of our Trainer Slip Lead for effective and comfortable training experiences.

FAQs
What is BioThane?
Our premium rolled BioThane leashes are made of Beta-coated polyester webbing that's stronger and more durable than leather. This remarkable material is engineered by enveloping a core webbing with a protective polymer coating, ensuring unrivaled durability and strength.
BioThane is waterproof, odor-resistant, fade-resistant, lightweight, soft, easy to clean, and durable—leading to longer-lasting leashes with fewer replacements.
What is a thumb loop?
The thumb loop is a 2-inch design element integrated into the handle of our leashes. It allows you to anchor the leash securely on your thumb while holding it, providing an added layer of control and preventing accidental drops during walks or outdoor activities.
Note: While our thumb loop feature provides an added layer of security and control, it is essential to remain attentive and alert while using the leash. The thumb loop is designed to reduce the likelihood of accidental drops and improve handling, but it does not replace proper leash training or supervision. Always ensure the loop is appropriately secured on your thumb and maintain a firm grip on the leash while walking your dog.
How strong is Biothane?
BioThane is an exceptionally robust material, providing outstanding strength and reliability for our leashes. In particular, the 1/4" width rolled BioThane rope used in our leashes boasts an impressive break strength of 500 lbs. The strength of this material ensures optimal security and control, even for larger and more energetic dogs.
What sets our leashes apart is the ability to deliver such strength while remaining surprisingly lightweight. Despite its immense durability, BioThane is significantly lighter than traditional materials like leather or nylon. This means you and your dog can enjoy long walks and adventures without feeling weighed down, making it the perfect choice for both small and large breeds.
Note: Our BioThane leashes are not designed for tie-outs or tethering purposes due to safety concerns. Tethering can lead to potential risks and harm to your pet and others. Any damage caused to our products as a result of tethering or misuse is not covered by our warranty. We strongly advise against using our leashes for such activities and recommend supervising your dog at all times during walks and training.
