A nice handle makes the world of difference for owners and without one, a sharp yank or pull could result in some seriously painful rope burn from your lead! With a collar that prevents tugging, it’s also friction resistant, so you and your pooch are both risk-free from injury and the added durability means Hunter’s set is designed to last you and your pet for years to come! We manufacture and sell two types of training leads, and both leads were designed in house by ourselves and tried and tested by gundog trainers and dog behaviourists. First is our 10 metre lead, whilst the leads provide extra length, great care was taken to ensure the lead’s weight was kept to the absolute minimum whilst maintaining the strength and quality so owners can remain in full control. The 10 metre lead is a 2 in 1 lead, meaning it can be shortened and be used as a 5 metre training lead too.

Basting 2.4 tonnes of resistance pull, you really can’t beat Hunters set for pure strength and the added collar with anti-abrasion and friction material ensures your pup is never hurt or irritated by your more strict guidance at the helm of the lead! If you are teaching your dog not to pull on the lead, there is naturally going to be some tension and a few yanks here and there as you practice reigning your dog closer to your side. Standard leash: This is the most basic type of lead, typically made of nylon or leather. It usually ranges from 4 to 6 feet in length and has a clip at one end to attach to the dog’s collar or harness. Standard leashes are versatile and suitable for everyday walks and basic training exercises. STANDARD TRIGGER HOOK– an old favourite and covers most scenarios. For increased safety chose a carabiner option. Always oil and never allow to stay wet. And so when a product describes itself as a ‘training’ lead or collar, this is because it will often have features which really enhance your control and ability to guide your dog with.For those who don’t trust collars not to pull and harm their dog during training, harnesses are a safer and conscience easing alternative. Usage technique no. 1 – hold the part of the lead you want the length to be and let the rest trail, then walk your hands up and down the lead lengthening and shortening as you walk. Never let the lead run through your hands as you will get a burn unless you have good gloves on.

Weatherproof, reflective and easy to clean, it ensures you and your pup’s safety at night and that the material stands strong in the worst of weathers. It’s best used for long-distance recall work, as the lowest length of 10m means this really is a roamers training tool, making it great for practising on large open fields and parks. No lead can safely run through your hand at speed without getting a burn, so common sense, lead usage skills and the correct length are important factors. Always do a risk assessment to determine the correct lead length. As you can see in the product options, you can choose a padded handle for your comfort. Safe use of dog training leads This is often a behaviour of puppy’s especially and far from being a bad habit or naughty act, you pup is merely curious and keen for the world around them!At 2m in length, it’s slightly longer than standard short training leashes, but it’s strength and durability make it far and away the most robust lead on this whole list. Our second lead is the 6 Meter Training Lead, this unique lead offers the extra length to train or exercise your dog whilst maintaining full control. This is a slip lead style and can be used with or without a collar. For collars or leads with collar attachments, size is of course incredibly important as it needs to be a snug fit for your pooch without feeling constrictive or tight. Training and Behavior Modification: Dog training leads play a crucial role in obedience training and behavior modification programs. They aid in teaching basic commands such as sit, stay, and heel, as well as more advanced exercises like recall or loose-leash walking. With a lead, handlers can guide their dogs through desired behaviors, reinforce positive actions, and discourage undesirable behaviors through gentle corrections or redirects. Partnering up a perfect pooch training lead with an even better collar, this heavy-duty polyamide set from Hunter is an idyllically crafted anti-pull leash that is superb for close-quarters lead training.
