Dog Leads And Leahes For Dog Training

Dog leashes or leads are an extremely essential training tool or even just for general care and wellbeing for your dog. Whether you use your leash for taking you dog for long walks or only use it for teaching your dog right from wrong in the comfort of your back garden, a lead is always an important buy for you and your dog.

As a dog owner and a consumer, your choice of dog leads/leashes is as you might expect, huge. With so much choice and variations, choosing which lead or leash to use can be a bigger challenge than the actual training of your dog.

So what are the different kinds of leads and leashes? Well trust me there are thousands out there to choose from, I will only go through a few of the more popular types of leash as I’m sure there are many different types of leads being brought onto the market every week and it would be an impossible task to keep track of all of them.

In the next part of this article I will first go through the different types of lead then finish off with my personal views and preferences.

Extending leads

These do exactly what is says, they ‘extend’ away from the owner for a certain distance before running out of slack. With these leashes the owner has control of when to stop the lead extending further and can be used just like a normal leash if needs be.

Slip leads

These leads are a simple type of lead with a loop on both sides normally with and adjustable clip at the end that tightens when pulled or loosens around the dog’s neck for comfort when there is no pulling. Used by many for dog training.

Nylon leads

This is the cheaper option of dog lead, the simplest form of dog leash available, often causes rubbing and digging into your dog’s skin. Nylon leashes are best avoided.

Bungee leads

These leads help to eliminate the slack that other leads cause so that your dog does not trip over the leash and there is less pulling on your arm from a dog in the training process.

Leather leads

This is a popular type of lead that is comfortable for your dog and gives you full control of how far your dog can wonder. A good lead for training but can be tiring on your arm if your dog tends to try and pull you around.

My Conclusion
It is the preference of the trainer in hand at the end of the day but I feel leather leads are best for me and show your dog sum gentle authority when starting to train. Letting your dog wonder too far on walks can give your dog too much freedom and chance to misbehave.

If you are interested in training then I would go for a leather lead to begin, if you just like going for walks in the park or your dog is well behaved then you could maybe opt for an extendable leash.

Sled-dog-in-training doesn’t like pulling on harness?

Title sums it up. My dog pulls happily on just his collar, but refuses to pull with his harness on. I am using the ManMat Distance harness:

http://www.ne-outfitters.com/ecommerce/product.php?vuid=102

The harness above is designed to pull on. But there is another harness widely sold in pet stores with the same basic structure, and it is designed as sort of a collar-extension and to keep small dogs from getting off the leash. Sample from Petco:

http://www.petco.com/product/106843/Aspen-Pet-Reflective-Adjustable-Dog-Harness-in-Blue.aspx

What can I do to train my dog that he should pull on the harness, and not on the collar?
I own this book: http://www.amazon.com/Mush-Beginners-Manual-Sled-Training/dp/0914124064
My dog is a Norwegian Elkhound. The breed comes from the far north in Norway and was originally for hunting elk. He is 2½ years old.

Lets change this around a bit. Your dog pulls on the collar, but mushing dogs LEAN into a harness. So with that information, see if you are asking your dog to pull on the harness or lean into it.

The second thing to do is make sure that your dog doesn’t have any injuries or rubs from the harness. If your dog had an old injury (maybe you never knew he had) the harness will make that injury pronounced.

On the other hand, your dog can really hurt himself if he continues to pull with the collar. While dogs are strong enough to pull us (off our feet sometimes) with the collar, they knock their spine out of alignment (starting at the axis-atlas) and cause all sorts of trouble.

Finally, your are right to double check the kind of harness. Not all harnesses work with all dogs. The pet-store type harnesses are fine for very short distances (a mile or two a few times a week) but not for consistent work.

Also, ask your dog for very very short distances at first. Even if you know he is capable of more. Stop your dog while they are still very interested in the whole game of pulling. This will keep them wanting more. Mushing is all about keeping the work fun. Make it a game.
