You are in the market for a new leash for your dog, and you’re wondering what your best option would be. There are many different lengths to choose from, so which would be the best for your pet?

Your dog’s leash length will be dependent upon her present skills and the place you will be utilizing the leash. If you are still training, a shorter leash will assist you in furthering the process along since it will offer you more control. This also means it will be safer in crowded areas where your dog must stick close to you. If you are in a familiar area where your dog can have a bit more freedom, a longer leach may be the best option. In general, a dog that is well trained will be fine on a longer leash since he will stay near you on command when needed.
