i got the newsletter in my email recently and saw the martingale leash you sell. it really intrigues me because it's easily adjustable. I have the nylon one with the chain. it's kind of a pain because i have to adjust it everytime i put it on and off of my 20 lb terrier mix.

my question is, do they make one like the one you sell but for small/medium sized dogs? my dog's neck is probably between 10-12 inches.

Ben, there are martingale leashes like the one sold here in various sizes (see here). It doesn't look like Leerburg has anything but the 16"-30" neck though. Have you looked at the british slip leads? I think you'll find the size you need there if you want to buy one from Leerburg.

The mechanics are a little different between the two. The difference is that the slip lead connects at one point whereas the martingale connects at two. The slip lead is similar to the choke chain in that it faces to one side or the other, if that makes sense. You can see what I'm describing if you look at the pictures.

I have both. The dog can't slip it's head out of either of them but mine seem to mind the slip lead a little better than the martingale. The slip lead is also a little less bulky than the martingale because you don't have the added bridge of material across the dog's neck. Both are easy to just slip on and go.

yeah that's how i assume them to work. i'm partial to the mart lead because i assume it was better for training purposes... it's basically loose but can tighten if the dog is out of control. the british leash doesn't have that ability, is that right? or does the british leash tighten as well?

hmm. now that i take a closer look at it i think i see what you're getting at. it does look like the "single" version of the martingale. but please respond so i'm not mistaken.

Yup, it also tightens when the dog applies pressure to the lead.

how well does the british lead work if your dog walks on the left or right? what i mean is, lets say the leash is on... does it matter what side the dog walks on? it looks like it's biased towards one side.

It is biased towards one side or another depending on which wabut I have walked my dog on both sides (without flipping the lead) without a problem. That being said, the leash is designed to be able to slip on and go. It's not going to give you as much control as say a pinch collar and a leash. But, say you have the lead set up to work from the right and you walk the dog on the left - you're still going to have equal or greater control with it as you would with the martingale.
