apex slip

The Apex Slip is engineered for precision communication, seamless transitions, and high-performance training. Built for the rugged intersection of land and water, this slip collar is a technical upgrade to the traditional training tool—offering a sleek, minimalist aesthetic with heavy-duty durability.

From high-alpine ridges to salt-water inlets, the Apex Slip is built to endure and respond:

• Signature Suppleness: Crafted from premium Biothane®, it provides the "broken-in" feel of leather with the unbreakable strength of technical coated webbing. It stays soft and flexible in sub-zero temps and won’t crack under the desert sun, allowing for fluid, frictionless movement through the hardware rings.

• Elemental Proofing: 100% waterproof, odor-proof, and antimicrobial. It won't absorb moisture, grow mold, or hold onto that "wet dog" smell, no matter how many times they dive into the lagoon.

• Streamlined Control: Designed without buckles for an ultra-clean, minimalist profile. The Apex Slip glides smoothly for instant correction and immediate release, making it the perfect tool for off-leash transitions, agility work, and field training.

• Marine-Grade Hardware: Built exclusively with solid brass O-rings and hand-set permanent rivets. Known for its legendary durability, our marine-grade solid brass offers extreme corrosion resistance against salt water and grit, developing a rugged, beautiful patina over time on the trail.

• Trail-Ready Durability: Resistant to abrasion and dirt. After a day on the muddiest trails, a simple rinse in a stream or a wipe-down at the trailhead returns it to pristine condition.

CRITICAL SIZING NOTE: PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING

Because the Apex Slip is a low-profile, fixed-length training tool with no buckle, it must slide completely over your dog's head. Precision is key for a safe, functional fit.

• How to Measure: Use a flexible measuring tape to measure the widest part of your dog's head (typically just in front of the ears, including the ears if they are bulky). Add 1 to 2 inches to this measurement to ensure the collar can slide on and off comfortably, but won't easily slip off when slack.

• Need a Custom Size? If your dog’s measurement requires a custom length not listed in the dropdown, select the "Custom (Leave note at checkout)" option and type your dog's exact head measurement into the "Order Notes" box on the cart page before completing your purchase.
