I like the retractable leash for Dudley. We have issues over who gets to lead, so when we start out I lock it up so he has to stay right beside me. After he has walked beside or behind me for 3/4 of the distance I let him run it out to the 16 ft distance. I have trained him to stop and not move when a car is approaching so that I can catch up to him and make sure he is safe. I love it. Whenever I say wait he stops dead in his tracks and looks around for the car. |
