First Thank You all for the replies. They give me some really good idea. I have gone to a 6 ft leash on both dogs, bad part of that is they lay down by my feet and don't do their job. I only have a small strip of grass out here.
Another thing is he was given to me a year ago. I don't think they ever had him on a leash before that. He's a cutie 4years old and 4 pounds heavy.
