I am not a big believer of these kinds of leashes for a couple more reasons that it is just scaring the heck out of the dog.

1. When dropped they can bounce back at an alarming speed and I heard of a small dog being killed from one when it hit him in the head

2. When a dog is walking so far from you, you might not have time to react to pull them in if a large dog is going after them or it is to difficult with the wire. Cotton leashes seem to work the best.

3. Coyote bait when they are to far out

Okay now that I have scared you a little more - are you using an harness on him?
