Hmmm. Probably talking about two entirely different products. I mean, it wasn't the perfect set up, but it didn't seem to bother her much. |
This is the one we have:
50' Foot Dog Training Leash Lead Puppy Obedience BLACK - eBay (item 360211407244 end time Apr-23-10 16:35:23 PDT)
I wouldn't call it "heavy" but I think the fact that it's 50 feet makes for dragging it around a bit more, maybe I could get him a shorter one (30 feet or something) that I could not tie up and allow him to drag, so that he can not be tied up to anything, yet there's still enough leash for me to step on it if he decides to run... LOL! This leash is how I've been training him to actually be off leash though and not fenced in. Because he gets a lot of freedom even tho he's on leash, but I have a way to make sure he comes when called, and the past few times he got out, he's come right back to me, so I think our training is working, hopefully.
I wouldn't say it bothers him but I know it'd be easier off leash. With the tie-out lead... it's constantly getting twisted around his ankles, under his legs, around a tree, around anything it can seem to get stuck on (and we have a whole 3 acres out front, and it ALWAYS manages to get stuck on
something, lol)
