Training lead

Alfies new 50 ft training lead (its a biggun!) has just arrived cant wait to try it out later!

They are great once you get the hang of it Couldn't count the number of times Steff tripped me up with hers

Hope it works well

Great hope you and Alfie have fun with it. Took a lot of getting used to for me, lots of falling/tripping

Im sure ill be on my a** later then

Pictures

Haha if im on my feet ill try and get some!

That's great! He'll love that, did you get it on eBay?

They are a great tool. Just be sure to pay attention where the extra line is when they are running about so you don't get hurt

Yeah Mat its the one you sent me

Same one as me then

They are very strong and well made for very little money, able to withstand Logan running at full pace.

It's too wet here to get a go in the fields atm. I hope you and Alfie can get out and he can run wild!

I'm sure Alfie will love having a good run around the fields now, the lead will give him the freedom to run and confidence to you, win win situation really.

lol.. Both would be great tbh

good luck!

dnt forget the pictures

Haha jason!! Well i tried it, he didnt run round as much as id hoped, i did get tangled a bit but managed to stay in my feet whooo! Forgot pictures though

I did quickly learn to try and avoid areas with trees

As long as he has to option to explore it'll be working well. Someday when the moment is right he will make the very most of it.

Glad it went well.....I am going to get one of these myself

He did have a bit of a run and had a good sniff so it was definitely worth getting!

Oh good, glad he enjoyed it, even if you did get a bit tangled

Anything that helps is worth doing. Even getting a good sniff around makes a big difference and makes them more content after.

Logan is never on the short lead these days.

It was good fun though sarah alfie got a bit tangled too haha. Im hoping the more i use it the more he will have a good run around. There was other dogs there to begin with and he didnt even bother with them (he was too interested in me lol) but when it was time to go home he came nicely when called so i could put his flexi lead back on

Lmao

Tank has a 30ft lead and somehow he still manages to drag me along.

I wish I could let him off but once he pics up a scent - that's it

We have an enclosed tennis court nearby that we let Tank n Diesel run offlead in but today there was a bunch of muppets playing football (bahhhh)
We gonna try again tomorro !

Haha i know what you mean! My mum came with me and held the lead and she was dragged along at one point (very funny lol)

Run Alfie Run!!!!

I had one for Ledger but got fed up with it trailing in in other dogs

Where abouts do you walk in Shrews? I work there at the moment and keep meaning to bring Ledger over one day to drop a food parcel at Dogs Trust, take a walk up Haughmond and maybe test him in town for lunch as I know the Armoury is dog friendly (but that will probably be pushing it)

Yeah Haughmond is great for walking, i dont drive though so cant get up there on my own! I never knew the armoury was dog friendly?! I just go to the park by me, its got a big field ao is decent enough. Im going up to lyth hill in a couple of weeks or so which should be a good walk!

Mine arrived yesterday, can't wait to try it! This is gonna sound really stupid Ellie but what did you do? Just encourage him to run around? Did you keep him on it all the walk? I'm just used to using the flex lead!!

Well its about a 10 min walk to the park so i used the flexi lead for that and once we were at the park i put the training lead on him and just started throwing the ball for him. He got bored of that though so i had to run around like an idiot to get him excited (i hope no one was watching haha)

Daisy will get the ball bit then that's it game over you can't get it off her !!

Thats what its like with alfie, so i alternate with sticks and his ball. Until he gets bored of that so i have to make him chase me
