Robson Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Right I let Alfie off the lead the other day in a semi secure field as nice as it was to see him running i was quite scared that he would escape. He came straight back to me but I know that theres a chance he might not. So can anybody recomend a long leader 10m ish. Im frightened that the retractable ones will snap. Im also worried that a length of something will hurt him when he gets to the end of it. any links to ones you use would be appreciated.

Val (Zebedee) Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I use an 8m (26 ft) retractable lead on both of my huskies, one of which, Diesel, is 40kgs :eek: & not had a problem with it snapping, just make sure the attaching hooks are metal & not plastic. Some guys will be along throughout the day who use other leads, too, & will give you their advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akira26 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I use a retractable lead but there are others you can get such as training lines and long lines.... Heres a few links: http://www.ultimateanimals.co.uk/acatalog/dog_training_leads_long_lines_longline_training.html http://www.trainingtrousers.co.uk/ You can also find them on ebay and amazon for a good price Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawPrints Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I use a 25ft one not a retractable one but like one that you'd use with a horse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjk Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 if you do go with a retractable one dont go cheap, the brake systems fail on them if you need to apply the brake suddenly. myself and a friend has large retractable leads, and they are holding up fine, and his 2 are big pullers.

Paul Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I use an 8m (26 ft) retractable lead on both of my huskies, one of which, Diesel, is 40kgs :eek: & not had a problem with it snapping, just make sure the attaching hooks are metal & not plastic. Some guys will be along throughout the day who use other leads, too, & will give you their advice i use the same lead! no problems with snapping as yet and oscar pulls quite a bit! what i try and do it shot Wow just before he gets to the end so there isnt such a jolt on his neck as it comes to the end!

aksnowpeach Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 My male Kai cannot be trusted to be off leash like my female Cypra. I bought a 30ft lead from petsmart to use with Kai, and it is one of the best things I have ever gotten for him! Now we can play fetch or let him run in nearby fields or in my backyard. Good luck, hope you find something that works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskyluv Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I use a 50 foot training lead and connect that to my 26 foot retractable lead. It works out great in that he gets a full 76 ft of lead to run on and with the retractable I am able to slow him down before he hits the end of the lead at a full husky run...I've had too much experience with this and none of them have been enjoyable!
