How Do I Care for My Rope Gear?
To keep your rope gear ready for every adventure, a little care goes a long way. Each piece is handcrafted with love and made to be a special part of your time outdoors. Treat it with care and it will be with you through many meaningful walks and outings.
Here are a few simple tips:
Spot clean when needed. Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe away everyday dirt. Avoid bleach or harsh cleaners, as they can weaken the rope or damage the hardware.
Hand wash for deeper cleans. If needed, soak the gear in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent. Scrub lightly with your hands or a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly.
Air dry only. Lay flat to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated spot. Avoid dryers or direct heat sources, which can affect the rope’s durability.
Check before each use. Give your gear a quick once-over to make sure everything is secure and in good shape before heading out.
With a little love and attention, your rope gear will stay reliable and ready for your next adventure together.

I absolutely love how light and easy these collars are! There’s minimal hardware and they’re built to last! The climbing rope is super durable and reliable! There are no buckles or clips to have to worry about breakage or failure!
This is one of must haves from North Tail. We use their slip leash collars daily! They have really helped with Finley's leash walking and has helped with his reactivity. He has less reactions now than he did when he was on a harness.
The quality of this collar is amazing. I have had zero issues with it during our adventures. I also love the little area for you to attach your dog's tags, so that it does not interfere with the area where you attach your leash. As always, love all the colours it comes in and it's one of those things that will last you and your dog a lifetime!
I recently received the rope slip collar from Northtail Inc. for my German Shepherd, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I took it out of the package, I could tell this collar was built with quality in mind.
Design & Appearance:
First and foremost, the collar looks fantastic. The braided rope design gives it a sleek, modern aesthetic while still looking rugged and outdoorsy. It complements my German Shepherd’s coat beautifully and gives off a professional, polished look whether we’re out for a casual walk or heading out on a hike. The metal hardware is minimal yet solid, with a subtle branding touch that adds to the high-end feel.
Build Quality:
This collar is made from thick, durable rope that feels strong enough to handle even the most powerful pullers — which is saying something if you’ve ever walked a determined GSD. The stitching and finishing are top-notch, with no loose ends or fraying. After weeks of daily use, it still looks brand new.
Comfort:
My German Shepherd is comfortable wearing it, and I like that there’s no bulky buckle or excessive hardware digging into her neck. It stays lightweight and flexible, making it ideal for longer walks or even hikes.
Final Thoughts:
Overall, the Northtail Inc. rope slip collar is a fantastic choice if you want something that’s both functional and stylish. It’s especially well-suited for medium to large breeds like German Shepherds who need reliable equipment for training or structured walks. I’ve received multiple compliments on it, and more importantly, it performs exactly as I’d hoped. Highly recommended!
I was hesitant to try a slip collar, but it’s been the safest choice for my little escape-prone pup. Our beagle is a little escape artist and always found a way out of his buckle collars.
