Leads

I been looking at training leads on ebay, what length is best? Do you reccomend them at all?

I seen an article somewhere else about using one to get re-call established?

Morning,
lots of us use the police style leather leads, can be adjusted to several different lengths or even for two dogs at once.....about 6 feet long in total.

for recall training a cotton long line is ideal(horse lunge line), it is light enough that the dog is largely unaware that it is there.

Treats are ideal for recall.......always have them ( chopped hot dogs are ideal).
If your dog approaches you even without a command.treat, he will associate you with 'good things' quickly.then start to treat when you command him to come..........notice I said 'command' and not 'ask'.
If your dog does not come immediately when called the long line will allow you the control to enforce the command.

We started Ash with this one tonight. We didn't meet up with the local 'pack' tonight we went a bit later but he was very well behaved.
A couple of times he was distracted by an interesting smell so I think to start with I going to need the line to correct him.
