Knot Dog Collar
Has anyone ever used a leash (turned into a slip knot) as a choke chain?
I was at the animal shelter and instead of hooking the dogs to a collar and leash. All the dogs were walked with the leash turned into a slip knot.
Yes, that’s perfectly normal. They are using it as a Slip Collar, not a choke chain (and not a slip knot… there’s no knotting involved). As other posters have said, all vets offices, shelters, dog day cares, whatever, use them to move animals around easily. The difference with a choke chain is that you do NOT use a leash like that as a “correction” or “punishment”. It is tight and you have increased control but it does NOT cause discomfort or choke the dog.
The two main reasons you’d do this are:
1) Easy on and off. You just dangle the loop over the dogs head to put it on, and you don’t have to reach toward the dog’s neck, which many dogs interpret as threatening. Most dogs don’t like strangers grabbing at their collars. When dealing with lots of strange dogs, this can prevent dogs from getting nervous and workers from being bitten.
2) It’s more secure than a regular collar. Some dogs with skinny heads (think Greyhounds for one example) can have their collars slip right off no matter how tight they are. In other cases, owners may have collars adjusted too loose. In still others, like in shelters, dogs may not be wearing collars for safety reasons. Using a slip leash lets the handler control that the leash is just the right amount of tight and not have to worry about whether the collar is secure.
If you were to find and catch a stray dog on the street, this is also by far the safest way to do it if you have regular leash with you.

Knot A Just Collar $14.95 Inspired by climbing rope, the Knot-a-Just Collar is strong, comfortable, and dependable. It works particularly well for dogs that have thick, bushy fur because its low profile allows the collar to settle comfortably in thick fur. Ruff Wear’s unique and convenient feature standard on all Ruff Wear collars: a separate mini D-ring ID attachment to separate tags from the leash for less annoying rattle. |
