I'd recommend when training using a long line training lead. We'd never let her off, where it's not safe, ie we'd have her on a usual lead for car parks and busy places. ..but the long line is great fun for her in a field. Today we were even able to use it in the woods.(we thought it might get too caught up, but it didn't.) For Caleb we keep him on a short line, just as long as a usual lead, but it's light and easy to step on, if he did decided to bolt.
We have a 25 foot line and a 50 foot line, great for training safely. |
I have a 16 ft leash , tiny thin , lightweight string of a thing. Where do you get a longer one ? I can't seem to find anything that isn't thick or heavy. Manufacturers seem to think length means strong for big dogs.
Yeh it took me years to get enough courage to get another one . The 2nd one died from natural causes but we put her down to prevent any further suffering. Hand feeding and carrying out side to pee isn't quality life, she was 11.That was really hard , 15 years later I'm retired and yearned for the love of another yorkie. Funny , the last two were the only females to the litter and both little. Zoey, this one , did reach 3 1/2 lb, Lacey was only 2 1/2 lbs.........
