the transitional lease has made it easier to control my 5 month old Bernedoodle. She was pulling in her regular collar and leash and now walks are more relaxed.

Very happy with the product, will be ordering more from you in the future.

My dog is 50 pounds and so strong that he actually pulled me down a few times. This leash allows me to walk him with the leash loose in my hand. I love it!

Ease of use, functionality, and the security of the second attachment makes it a must have for training!

Great product!

Switched from Mendota to these as soon as we tried them!

perfect beginner leash for clients!

Always love these leashes! My go to!

good quality and works seamlessly

love these leashes

Logo looks great, good quality, easy transition, effective stopper

transitions easily and love the stopper

This head halter leash is much more comfortable for my dog than the gentle lead head halters you can get on amazon. It gives me more control when my dog becomes reactive one walks. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone and will be buying more myself, I'm sure.

Great purchase. Easy to use once used to putting it on our pup.

I struggled with my 60lb puppy pulling me so hard. As soon as I used the leash no more pulling and she stays by my side. Absolutely love it

While she is still getting used to it and tries to wipe it off, this lead has made her walking her so much better!! I’m so happy I got this for my puppy.

The K9 Lifeline leash is the only leash that keeps my Belgian Tervuren from breaking a land speed record when we walk. She’s strong & a bit stubborn but the K9 Lifeline sets her straight. I just bought two more.

I am such a proud Momma! When I used to walk Ozzy he would pull. The most disheartening moment was when walking him we passed a scout troop and the leader said, “someone had to much caffeine”. I was crushed. Our trainer recommended the Transitional leash. He worked with Us on how to use it. I now walk with Ozzy in confidence and pride. He will allow people to pass by without a reaction and they wave and smile. This leash worked miracles. Thank you

Instant calming effect! It was previously impossible to walk our Sadie on a traditional leash. We tried a friend’s K9 Lifeline Sidekick and it was an immediate transformation! We can now walk our dog without a fight. THANK YOU K9 LIFELINE!!

It has been a fantastic tool for my clients with reactive dogs.

It was the training tool I didn’t know I needed! My Aussie is fairly leash trained but she has her days and the Sidekick helps so much!

Works great.

Love the quick response from my dog when I follow the instructions.

This leash was a game changer for my 7 month old Standard Schnauzer puppy, who gets very distracted outside by people, birds, bikes, even on a normal slip-lead. But when he's on the K9 Lifeline leash he is much calmer, more focused on me, and less anxious. Anyone with a leash-reactive dog should check this leash out!

This is such a great product. My puppy sheepadoodle kept pulling and biting the leash so it was difficult to walk her. This absolutely corrected the behavior and she now walks right next to me and will sit on command. It took a couple of times but now she’s used it and the walks are so much better. Thank you K9!

Tried the sidekick on my dog, immediate difference in the way he walks. He didn't pull and stood up straighter.

This is a fantastic transitional lead - and the piece that tightens the lead is quick and easy to use without the concern of it becoming loose over time (unlike the leather ones that I found on other transitional/slip leads).

This tool has completely changed our walking game! My driven German shepherd, Mischa, is always forward thinking. This helps her focus on me and walking gently.

Discovered in training that my dog responded better in a slip lead/leash. My trainer (Lead Your K9) uses these leashes so I purchased the same. It's great quality and being a small business owner myself, I wanted to support another small business. Thank you!

This is brilliant! This saved me from the pulling.

After trying out different training tips to help my dog not pull on walks I finally decided to try the transitional leash. Omg it’s like magic!! It took a couple minutes for him to get use to it and it was like a new dog lol. We went on a walk and I hardly had to hold the leash because he wasn’t pulling. Then the big test came when he saw a dog across the street (normally he would get all worked up and start barking like crazy) he looked at him and didn’t even whimper I kept walking so he felt me directing him and he followed without me having to pull him. I was so happy! We can now go on walks without dread. Highly recommend. I have an Australian Sheppard so supper energetic. Oh and a bonus was that as soon as I place the leash on him it calms him, now I can easily groom him, apply his medicine to keep fleas away which before was a two person job now I can do by myself.

This has been amazing for one of our guest dogs. She walks perfectly now.

Found the transitional leash to make a world of difference with our Bullmastiff puppy.

only thing i don’t clove is the “heather’s hero’s” tag TBH. it is not very descriptive of product and i preferred when it said K9 Lifeline! clients always ask and i’m like idk but it’s called The Sidekick. i think the new branding is a little confusing? but love the colors and quality.

I was turned on to the K9 Lifeline system, specifically the sidekick by my mentor, Terra Colson of Animal Minds Behavior and Training. As professional dog trainers we're constantly on the look for effective, gentle tools to help coach our clients and their people through the training process. The fabric is always soft and gentle on the skin. The toggles NEVER slip! And the design of the slip lead with safety tether to the collar is undeniably phenomenal for redirecting pressure safely and effectively. I have almost ALL of my clients invest in a sidekick system to start!

My dog is a puller-I was either pulling her away from something, or she was pulling me up the street. She’s a strong girl-very muscular. Having just received your product last week, I’ve only had a few chances to use it, but WOW!!! What a difference it makes!! She walks or trots along so nicely now with no pulling!! And the nose loop is loose enough for her to take a treat when I’m praising her! Thank you so very much for making our walks something to look forward to!! Your product ROCKS!!

the sidekick leash made my very energetic border collie mix walkable, finally. no other leash or gentle leader works with her.

I've been using a product from this company for five years. I hired a trainer who recommended the transitional leash and have been very satisfied with the results. Recently the safety clip wore out and I purchased the new leash and look forward to many years of good dog walks!

It's very easy to walk him now.

My dog always pulled when she saw her friends in obedience class I couldn’t hold her back, the trainer recommended your product and it works perfectly. No more pulling.

Love the leash. Learned of them while my dog was in training. I have ordered three.

Bought one… my mom took it. Lol.

I belong to Desert Labrador Retriever Rescue (DLRR.org) and this type of leash is recommended by the group. We have found over 5,000 furever families for rescued labs over 20 years with all volunteers! An awesome group in Arizona!

I am in love with the Transitional leash ! I used to recommend the use of a Gentle Leader until I got my hands on these. They are much easier to get on the dog . I love the safety clips and the ability to flip back and forth easily between head halter and slip lead. The dogs seem to accept it much easier. It's great how they are looser and snug up as needed. I now carry them at my dog training center and send my puppy board n' train graduates home with one. The color selection is fantastic. I enjoy them so much , I made up gift bags for the local vets that included two leashes for them to use. Last week in my group puppy class, I had each student walk a puppy with the halter then with out. They were all impressed on the difference. Fantastic training tool !!

I have a 65 pound Am Staff. We have tried all manner of anti-pull leashes, choke chains, and harnesses. Tami at Creatures Pet Care of Kalamazoo Michigan recommended the Lifeline and it has been a game changer! No more pulling and much better focus!

This gentle leader was a game changer for my dog and I. Our walks are pleasant now. Your product was recommended by a dog boutique. She actually had a few for sale but said your leash( cord instead of flat nylon) was the best…. I agree!

Found you via the profit tv show… it’s working for our husky who had a rough start in life! Thank you!!!!

We love the design of how this device secures to the dog's head plus, easy on, easy off. We like the head attachment much more than the "Halti" we had been using. Our dog has adapted the new leash without issue. The only con is we find the leash on our medium size, 60lbs dog to be short. I wish the length when on the dog was closer to the 6 ft length. We find the leash to be about 24 inches short in our situation.

I am a balanced trainer and have great success with leash walking and teaching heel commands on regular slip leashes for years. My own personal dog, a German Shorthair Pointer, however- was a different story. They can be a stubborn breed particularly if they have a high prey drive like my girl. The K9 Lifeline leash has aided us greatly in keeping her focus and not allowing her to barge against a normal lead when she sees something exciting. The world is very exciting and she gets to see plenty of it while we hike and hunt, so having the ability to not take leisurely walks around the neighborhood has been lovely for us.

This product works. It’s gentle but calms the dogs mind so he is interesting in working and learning.

Ysa, my 5 year old female Dogue de Bordeaux has shown signs of leash reactivity and fear aggression for years now. As a former trainer I have been able to manage it to some degree but it’s been very difficult. Your product almost instantly got us to a better place whereby I can take her inside to many places that were very challenging before, the Vet, pet stores, etc. I’ve seen great improvement with your product.

This is an amazing tool! It was referred to me by a trainer. I have so much more control for a dog who wants to sniff everything. It’s even helping with his reactivity!

Used English bridle with another large reactive dog but can’t find any more. This is actually better- easier to put on dog and softer on muzzle. I now have better control of my 100 lb guy who wants to play with everything - he knows I have control and behaves better. Walks are so much easier for me and enjoyable for both of us.

Own two of these and both work great on two different dogs (GoldenDoodle and a Golder Retriever)

We received this transitional leash through our dog trainer and absolutely love it! We can’t wait to order another in a different color. We always recommend this leash to others when they are being pulled around on their walks. Nova loves wearing it and she’s a happy puppy on our walks.

My dog responds beautifully when wearing the transitional leash. I so appreciate the quality and ease of use. I feel as if I can be a "trainer" of sorts all on my own. Thanks K9 Lifeline!

this really helps with pulling

Worth the wait. A whole new experience taken my dog for walk.

I am very pleased with my K9 Lifeline Sidekick. The quality is great. It’s easy to use. Customer service was excellent. My only complaint was the delay in production; although, I understand this is due to the growing pains of sudden demand increase. I would definitely order again.

Works great for us

Maya was our first dog and her hound and husky tendencies meant she liked to follow her nose and pull. The transitional lead was great to use during moments of heavy pulling or when getting over excited, and allowed us to now use it as a slip lead. The slip lead modality is great when trying to quickly get control when off leash at the park, but the best part is the useful and powerful training the slip provides. It quickly lets the dog know to correct and reinforce the command. Recommend 100%

I was working with a trainer at for the common commands for each of my pups. She told me about your leashes and that they would help me teach my dogs to walk without pulling. I weigh 98 pounds and even though my dogs are medium size the two of them together could pull me off my feet. Once they got the hang of the feel of the duo leash and after I had watched several of your excellent YouTube videos everything changed! We were all more comfortable and the walks became enjoyable for all of us. Thank you.

Just received today and instructions were easy to follow. Bear likes to lunge at dear and has broken away a couple times until we purchased a full harness. This is the first fully enjoyable walk I have had in a year of owning Bear. It will clearly take Bear some getting use to having the rope over his snout but it did what it was supposed to do. Now if I can get him from trying to take it off and fraying it with his dew claw I will be very happy. Looking forward to our next walk!

The leash has made walking my 8 month poodle enjoyable. He holds his head up high and prances. I am able to take him places that he would pull and make controlling his enthusiasm miserable.

I first saw this Slip Leash on The Profit Show. I was very impressed right from the start, in fact ordered it that very night. We are the proud owners of a now 10 month old Akita, who we have named Kuma. He was 2 months old when we purchased him from a breeder in PA. He now weighs in at 110 pounds, and still growing. From the very start he was a mouthy dog, and I have the scars on my arms to prove that, but I love him in spite of his now huge teeth. As he grew it became more and more difficult for me to walk him, as he always pulled very hard on his leash. Once on the ball field behind where we live I had Kuma on a 50 foot retractable leash, some geese landed maybe 300 feet from us, and Kuma took off, all 50 feet of leash, and me holding on and ending up on the ground. From that day his other Daddy has done almost all of the waking. After seeing how you Slip Leash worked on the program, I was so eager for it to get it that I called to check on my order. I was treated in the most professional way, and told why they were a little behind. Very understandable after a show like The Profit advertised this wonderful product. It arrived in about 3 weeks, and at first I had some problems trying to figure out how to get it on Kuma. I again called and the young lady I spoke to gave me so much time explaining what I was doing wrong. She also pointed me to a video on their website that gave a very good explanation of how to use this leash. At first I worked with Kuma around the house a little each day so he could get use to having something over his muzzle. After a few days his other Daddy took Kuma out for his first walk with this new Slip Leash. When he returned I asked, "so how did he do"? Eitan said to me, "IT WAS LIKE DRIVING A CADILLAC". Although Kuma did want to chase everything he saw, including a leaf, he was not able to and settled down and walked like a dog who had learned to heel. I am so pleased to tell you that I recommend this Slip Leash to any and all people who see it on Kuma when he now out walking with me. Your Leash has given me the gift of being able to walk this very large and lovable Akita. Thank you so very much for inventing a leash that will allow any dog owner the opportunity to train their dog in a proper manor. It is my honor and privilege to RECOMMEND your Slip Leash to any and all people who are trying to deal with a difficult, but lovable dog, they have brought into their family. Respectfully, JM

Our 1 yr old shepherd/cane corso mix is already 75 lbs. She is very strong, and my wife struggles when she pulls. We received the transitional leash about 2 weeks ago, and from day one it has made a huge difference. She still tries to pull, but no longer has the power behind her. My wife can control her with just one hand. Over the course of using it, her pulling has decreased significantly, and my wife walks her with much more confidence. This product works wonders.

We have a Carin Terrier. She does pretty well with our “tool” we purchased from you, except she occasionally paws off the rope around her nose. We saw you on “The Profit” and have watched the Utube video several times. What are we doing wrong???

In less than 5 minutes, my dog’s demeanor completely changed for the better. So simple in design, but has made all the difference in controlling her. Thank you so much!

I have a better handle of my dogs.

This would be my second purchase of the transitional leash. I love it!!! It has made a world of difference!

Great leash. We have 2 Catahoula Leopards. My daughter cannot handle one on a regular leash. She can handle both of them at once with these leashes. It stops the dogs from pulling her.

Exactly as advertized: My GSD puppy went on cruise control. We're both very content.
