I use Bick leather conditioner on my new ones and they feel like butter in your hand. Be careful where you lay them. I have had 2 stolen this year. Unethical people would rather steal them than to pay $75 to $100 to buy there own.
I was at a show this weekend and noticed that the top yorkie was being shown with one. |
That is the only lead I will use these days. They do soften up very quickly and more so when used in training. I don't use anything different for training that I would use in the ring. Well worth the money.
Not only will people steal your leads, but they have also been known to steal a table. It's a shame there are people who have to resort to such levels.
