Six Foot Leather Leash

Six foot leashes are recommended for training because they offer the right balance between flexibility and control. The leather is softer and easier on your hands than nylon leashes, and will only gets better with time. Shorter leashes create more tension and can exacerbate pulling or reactivity (lunging or barking) with distractions. Avoid leashes made of heavy / thick material or that have bulbous handles. Do not use retractable leashes for training. Do not attach bag holder or baggies to end of leash as this can interfere with training.

For dogs under 30 lbs get a leash that is 1/2 inch wide.
For dogs 30-75 lbs get a leash that is 5/8 inch wide.
For dogs 75 + get a leash that is 3/4 inch wide.
