whirlwind Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I have a puppy who I want to start doing recall training with and also to use at beach etc. What length recall leash is usually used? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 what size puppy? how far away from you do you want it to be? Formal recall,with a 'heel' or a pup who come belting back to you any old way and screeches to a halt ,smiling and wagging puppies can learn excellent recall at home - in the house/yard without any leash ;) EVERY time you want to pat/feed pup ..call its name - when it comes - it gets praised, and /or rewarded with toy/food EVERY time . EASY :) The thing is - never pat/treat puppy without at least a recall /sit It very soon becomes a good habit :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Generally a 5m long line is suitable for most pups, I would be getting a light weight width as well to make sure it's not too heavy. We always recommend using a longline when training and proofing recall :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zug Zug Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Agree with huski. I originally got a 10m long line (gripper type). Too much to keep track of. Got my feet tangled up one day, resulting in a very nasty rope burn. Now have a 5m syntek from k9pro. Works a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
