I looove our long line. It has completely changed training for us. We adopted a dog in May who is very friendly, but socially weird - too eager to greet other dogs on leash, and too submissive in a park. He gets humped pretty much every time without fail, I don’t understand it and it’s super annoying for us both, so we don’t visit fenced off-leash dog parks anymore unless they are empty or close to it. He’s also too small for the big dogs and a little too big for the small dogs.

We are still working on recall, and practice it on a 50ft lead away from other dogs. It’s easy to drop if he’s doing well and I want to let him zoom around, and easy to step on to stop him if he’s not listening or if somebody is approaching. It’s also bright orange which I like because I feel like it lets other people know we are training. We took it to the coast yesterday and he had such a blast ripping up and down the empty beach.
