slip lead

Tightening dog tether

A slip lead is a dog leash and collar combined into one loop of rope or nylon that tightens when pulled and loosens when slack.

The loop slips over the dog's head without needing a separate collar: The vet handed me a slip lead to walk him to the car.

Common in veterinary clinics, shelters, and dog shows for quick, temporary control.
