Six Foot Leather Leash

Large Dogs

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.

Training Mat

This is a kitchen mat that is ideal for training because it has a rubber bottom so it won’t slide on hardwood or tile floors. Non-slip is important. Other benefits include:

    • Rolls up for when you’re ready to take training “on the road”
    • It’s rigid so that it doesn’t bunch
    • No exposed threads (puppies or young adult dogs that are easily distracted will fixate on pulling threads)

High Value Training Food

This roll is ideal for training because it is moist, meaty and easy to break into small pieces without crumbling. It is also a nutritious food that can supplement a well balanced diet.
