Tab leads for obedience

Is it Flexi brand? I'm having a tough time. All of the large sizes they make are tape from what I can see.

Yes, but it's old. At least 5 years old I'd say.

I found the corded ones for 110 pound dogs, but they were on a UK site.

ETA- You can borrow mine if you don't find something. I can leave it at Top Dog with your name on it and you can just leave it there when you're done.

That's a very nice offer! I think I'll just pick one and see how it goes, because I would like to have one as an alternative to my long line outdoors. I emailed Betsy last night and she said cord vs tape didn't matter, and she thought it was unlikely that Watson would break a size medium (maybe in training, but she hasn't seem him lunge after deer!).

LOL I think she's like me- she forgets not all dogs behave like ours. Now, Caleb is no where's near Betsy's when it comes to training, but I don't have to worry about him busting a leash when he sees something he wants.

Hey- if you're interested in checking the place out, there's an obedience and rally match at Top Dog next Sunday.

Hey, I warned her that he was an "energetic Welsh Springer". Linda was on the email, so maybe she understood me. :rofl1: I swear this dog will run out full speed with little warning, though he knows he's on a 20ft line. He just doesn't care about slamming into the end of it. He's better, but he still does it occasionally. If I get the medium I just won't use it until the seminar, in case he is able to break it. I don't think he'll snap it, but I've read reviews where dogs hit the end of it and broke the mechanism that reels it back in.

Unfortunately I'm busy next weekend :-( Plus it's a bit far away, so I probably won't get out until the seminar.
