Horse Lunge Line/Large Dog Training Walking Lead Leash 25mm Padded Air Webbing Strong Very Soft Durable (10ft, 3 Metres) (Black)

Product Information

If you’ve got to the point where you’re letting the full long-line lead trail on the floor without holding it, you ideally want one that does not have a handle, or if you’re confident in your dog’s progress you could consider cutting the handle off. Without a handle the long-line should move more safely across the ground and should avoid getting caught as easily on things like branches. Durable Trolley System: Comes with a 100ft dog tie out cable and 10ft runner line, perfect for large dogs up to 125lbs. Rather than just pulling the end of the long line when you need to stop your dog you can grip and release the long line using the hand closest to the dog which will slow them down gently to a stop. There’s a lot of reasons that dog trainers, like myself, use long lines in lieu of short leads in training, but the main reason is management; whether it’s managing your reactive dog whilst your dog sniffs, or teaching a young dog their recall! The Key Principle of Long-Line Training PARACHUTE CORD: Parachute cord is wonderful for the final stages of transitioning your dog to off-leash life. It is so lightweight that your dog will feel as though he’s truly off-leash, but you have the ability to control him (he just doesn’t know it.)

Parachute cord needs to be stepped on, rather than grabbed with your hand. If you tie knots in the cord every few feet, it will be easier for your shoe to actually catch the cord as it moves along the ground.

Know When to Get Help

Don’t be fooled into thinking you can manage this with one hand, it’s incredibly hard to do, and I can tell you that from first hand experience. I tend to keep one with the bulk of the leash, and the other to control the length. And that’s your intro to long lines! Well, I wish I could say X Foot dog leash is the best, but it entirely depends on you, what you’re using it for, what size dog you have and on you. One I use for general sniff about and decompression walks (particularly with my hounds!) – this one is about 15 foot and much lighter and easy to handle. The other one I use for recall training with clients that’s 60ft, and very heavy. A long-line is a long rope with a clip at the end that you can attach to your dog’s harness like you would a normal lead. Whichever behavior you choose, make sure your dog loves to do it. Start training in a quiet environment without distractions and pile on the treats. This will show your dog how easy it is to get rewarded for the new task. Next, build distractions into your training. Then add the trigger at a below-threshold distance. When your dog looks at the trigger, ask for the replacement behavior. Shower them with treats when they obey. Finally, ask for the new behavior while slowly moving closer and closer to the trigger. If your dog reverts to lunging, you’ve moved too far, too fast. Eventually, rather than lunging, your dog will see the trigger as a cue to do the new behavior and earn a reward.

This one is a great choice for the adventurer. If you want your dog to be part of your travels, from down in the valley right the way up to mountain top, this versatile and very well made harness might just be the perfect option. It’s certainly more expensive, but what you get for your money is impressive, and I doubt you’ll feel like you’ve gotten a bad deal! This is a very versatile option, with both a front loop for dogs prone to pulling and a rear loop for normal runs and walks. The extra padded chest area makes it a great option for dogs who really pull very hard and could potentially hurt themselves – dogs really don’t understand their own strength, especially when they get taken over by the heat of the moment (which happens a lot with some dogs!) A: The Flat Nylon Lunge Line is made from durable nylon material reinforced by Zigzag decorative stitch. Helps teach your dog recall and impulse control, as they learn that staying close to you is rewarded with treats and praise.
