Lure Coursing Slip Leads & Sprint Dog 🐶

HANDY HINTS & SAFETY TIPS

Handlers should carefully consider when and how to use a Lure Coursing slip lead to ensure a safe, clean release and to support the best performance outcome for the dog.

Dogs Suited to Slip Leads:

• Powerful dogs of any size

• Dogs that naturally pull forward into the lead

• Dogs that stand relatively steady at the start line

When Slip Leads Become Problematic:

• Incorrect Handling:
Placing your hand or fingers through the loops of the lead or those you've created poses a serious safety risk. If you fail to release properly, you could suffer finger, arm, or shoulder injuries, or risk being dragged by your dog.

• Failure to Release Cleanly:
An improper release may result in the dog becoming entangled in the slip lead or dragging the lead for part or all of the course. This not only affects safety but also undermines the dog’s performance and confidence. The course will halt and your dog will be excused as per the rules (This issue is avoided with a "naked" release.)

• Dogs that Move Backwards on Neck Pressure:
Some dogs, especially those sensitive to neck pressure, may pull backwards in response to the lead rather than driving forward. This can place both the handler and Huntmaster at risk. The dog could trip the handler or collide with the Huntmaster. Many of these dogs start cleaner and run better with a naked release.

• Loss of Body Control:
Attempting to control only the dog’s head or neck (rather than the entire dog) can cause the dog to flip or spin their rear end, compromising both safety and start-line stability.

• Delayed Start & Course Interference:
A poor release can leave your dog strides behind other competitors in a brace or trio. Dogs that fall behind may become frustrated, cut across the course, or attempt to intercept the bags or other hounds, creating serious safety risks for themselves and other dogs.

• Loss of Motivation:
If your dog isn’t a natural puller, the resistance of a slip lead can lead to confusion or hesitation. Some dogs may refuse to run, while others may start slowly or in a distracted frame of mind, reducing both their enjoyment and performance. For these dogs, a naked release is often more effective.

Safety First: Proper Slip Lead Handling

• Never place your hand or fingers inside the loop of the slip lead.

• Perfect your grip

• Practice smooth, confident releases (without the dog) to minimise risk and give your dog the best possible start.

• Ensure you purchase a lead made of a material that easily slips through the loop (fittings). Fancy doesn’t help your dog get safely off the start, go for the practical options.
