Training lines
« on: September 06, 2009, 04:43:08 PM »
Hi

I'm thinking about a training line for Alfie, he is 16 weeks. Should I have the 5m or 10m and can I attach it to his collar or am I better using a harness.

I use the 10 m line as you can shorten it up if needed and it does need to be connected to a harness.

trail type harnesses are good but any type really as long as it fits them and doesn't pinch their fur (you don't need a specialist one that you would use for stopping them to pull)
