 leash lenghts
I was wondering for you that make leashes or just use leashes how long to do you like them. I have been getting some matching leashes from the gal that makes Lola's harness dresses, she makes hers around 5'. I have been
having her do mine at about 7' on even at 8' she seems to think the smaller the dog the shorter the leash should be. I tried to explain to her actually that should be reversed. Think about it, if you are 6' tall like my husband or even 5'5 like me, your leash needs to go down almost to the ground just to attach to a small dog. So that means there is very little sniffing room. For walks in our neighborhood by myself I like a longer leash so Lola can explore a little, with a five foot leash she can't get but about a foot away from me. With a larger dog like a lab, it has much shorter to go to reach the dog plus it is usually on a collar not in the middle of the back like with a harness so that gives you extra length. So it got me wondering what you guys like. For walks with other dogs or in crowded places I do use a shorter leash or roll mine up, LOL I have about 10 leashes now |
