Tell me about slip leads for dogs. Aren't they basically just choke collars just not made out of metal? Seems like the idea is the same, if a dog pulls, it tightens and teaches him not to.

I use them for emergencies, and at work for quickly bringing a dog somewhere. I also use it as a secondary leash if I'm not confident in a collar/leash or during training as a back up. It's really not safe for daily walking through. More as a plan B or to use in a pinch
as far as I know the basic mechanics is the same,but maybe the slip leadd is a bit "softer" because it is fabric and not metal. also there is that stopper thing, so you can adjust it to fit snug. with choke chain, if there is no tension on it, it will loosen up a bit, and if it is yanked on by the handler, it tightens with a snap and delivers more force than if it was snug.

That's retarded. You're retarded.

Correct.
The good thing about the slip lead is that you can keep it high on the dogs neck, which gives better feedback to the dog, and makes him less likely to apply force to the leash the way he would with a flat collar, or a choker that's low around the neck.

I use one when I am bathing my dogs. This way I can take off their collar, have something to control them with, and most importantly, have something I can not give a shit about getting wet.
