How to Use a Long Line Safely and Effectively
A long line should never be clipped on and forgotten. Proper handling is key. Instead of holding only the handle and hoping for the best, gather the line and allow it to feed smoothly through your hand as your dog moves away. This gives you control and allows you to reel your dog back in when needed.
Always start in a low-distraction environment. Busy parks are not the place to introduce a long line, things can go south quickly. And when you’re done, take the time to wrap your line properly. Trust us, it saves frustration later.
