Product Information

If your dog isn’t well lead trained, retractable leads may not be suitable because they give you less control and can encourage negative behaviour. However, if your dog is well lead trained and you use the lead appropriately, retractable leads can give dogs freedom and be a positive addition to your walks. Conclusion

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.Weatherproof, reflective and easy to clean, it ensures you and your pup’s safety at night and that the material stands strong in the worst of weathers. It’s best used for long-distance recall work, as the lowest length of 10m means this really is a roamers training tool, making it great for practising on large open fields and parks. Our favourite lead for short-distance and loose-lead walking training is the Hunter Freestyle Collar & Lead Set. Having tight control is the most important thing when lead training and for those of us not blessed with the rippling muscles of The Terminator, we need the lead to do most of the work! Long-line leads are great in big open spaces, but it’s important to be aware of your surroundings as they can be a trip hazard for others and can get caught up in the environment around you. This is because the design of a retractable lead means that a dog will always feel a slight constant pressure from the mechanism and so can easily get confused between the retractions of the lead and your actual guiding actions. Not to mention the mechanism itself gives you way less control and essentially lets your dog roam free and dictate the way themselves! Our favourite of these is the aptly named Canny Collar, which aims to train your dog in the art of leash walking without sacrificing their comfort or motions to the point of irritation or pain.

Long-lines come in a variety of lengths, from 3 metres all the way up to 30, and it’s important to take the time to get used to holding them properly. They usually have a handle at the end, but you can buy ones without. Long-line leads are a fixed length and are more robust than the retractable long leads you can also buy. They also come in different materials for different sized dogs. For example, a light-weight fabric long-line would be more suitable for a small dog as it won’t weigh them down, but for a larger dog you could look at a biothane, grippy material or a heavy-duty webbing as it’s more robust. Whatever you choose, it’s important to make sure you can hold it comfortably in your hand and that if it pulls through your fingers it’s not going to hurt you. Biothane is an interesting and newly popular material which consists of polyester and a special coating which makes it odourless and anti-fungal. This stops it from getting dirty and harbouring bacteria, making it a slightly more weatherproof option. It has a smooth, leather-like feel, but is crucially a lot more resistant! So I had a look and rang a lady called Sarah asking for advice which was duly given in a friendly and not condescending way and a 15 m lead arrived with a couple of days…it was well made, nice and wide at 25mm with good quality clips,padded handle and a brilliant new to me but so simple and obvious”double up” which basically means if you start with a 7.5m lead you can immediately let it out to 15m(hence the double up) to give your pooch a nice long run and still be in control…and vice versa.The lead was made of such good quality that if it gets wet no panic just pop it in the airing cupboard or on the washing the line and a few hours later you’re ready to take your dog about again after it’s rest and feed. For those who don’t trust collars not to pull and harm their dog during training, harnesses are a safer and conscience easing alternative. Without adequate control, you risk your pup getting into trouble or worse… an accident. Kind Collars/Harnesses Choosing a lead made from high-quality material means it’s likely to last longer and stand up to wear. You should also consider the type of material: For example, nylon leads tend to be more affordable and are generally fairly strong. If you have a large breed dog who pulls, a chain or rope lead might be more suitable as they tend to be stronger and more durable. Durability Training and Behavior Modification: Dog training leads play a crucial role in obedience training and behavior modification programs. They aid in teaching basic commands such as sit, stay, and heel, as well as more advanced exercises like recall or loose-leash walking. With a lead, handlers can guide their dogs through desired behaviors, reinforce positive actions, and discourage undesirable behaviors through gentle corrections or redirects.

The Dog Training Lead specifically to enhance your dogs’ training or for general exercising if your dog has a less than reliable recall (come when called). DOUBLE UP – see the explainer video here. Double up means you are able to use the lead at half the length. For example, you buy a 20 metre lead, you can use it at 10 metres as well. The lead handle becomes the half way point.Polyamide is a bite-resistant material and is completely resistant to abrasion, meaning it more than matches the antics of your mischievous canine. Even more impressively, it’s also been tested and proven to be able to withstand up to 2.4 tonnes of force, which makes it surely the strongest lead in the world! We manufacture and sell two types of training leads, and both leads were designed in house by ourselves and tried and tested by gundog trainers and dog behaviourists. First is our 10 metre lead, whilst the leads provide extra length, great care was taken to ensure the lead’s weight was kept to the absolute minimum whilst maintaining the strength and quality so owners can remain in full control. The 10 metre lead is a 2 in 1 lead, meaning it can be shortened and be used as a 5 metre training lead too. The length of dog lead you require is entirely dependent on the form of training you want to do and the training environment at your disposal. The primary purpose of a dog training lead is to keep the dog safely attached to the handler while allowing for communication and control. They play a crucial role in teaching obedience, leash manners, and ensuring the safety of both the dog and the handler. A well-designed training lead can significantly aid in shaping desired behaviors and preventing undesirable ones. Aside from lead length, there are lots of other factors to consider when it comes to control. A handle that gives you a comfortable, firm grip is crucial. Additional handles near your dog allow for extra control when needed.

Be aware of what’s around you when allowing your dog freedom on the long line. If your dog runs for something and you are caught off guard not holding the line properly it could run through your hands and cause an injury. metres – same as 20 metres, also good for wide open space and beach use. Again, this length is ideal for dogs who are rarely or never allowed off the lead. Popular with Sighthounds, Huskies Beagles etc What is the training lead made of? There are many types of lead, so take your time to consider what will work best for you and your dog. For example, if you love running a hands-free lead might be best, or if you need more control a double-ended lead might work for you. High-Quality Material The best for training tend to be nylon, as these are the most hard-wearing and so provide the best tear-resistance and strength. If you have a particularly big dog, this can help with those early stages of yanking!In general, most training leads tend to be shorter in length to give you maximum control and teach your dog how to walk on a lead and reduce pulling. These will often be around 1m – 2m and are fantastic for training dogs in preparation for busy or built-up areas where they are less free to roam.
