How to use a longline dog lead? 

For safety reasons we recommend using a longline with a well-fitting (AnnyX) Y-harness. This is to reduce risk of injury to the neck should your dog run to the end of the line and come to an abrupt stop. We recommend attaching to the back ring to reduce risk of tangling around legs.

How to hold 4Kyon waterproof long dog leads?

Safe handling of a longline dog lead is important to avoid injury to your dog and yourself. If you are new to using a long lead, we advise starting with a 5 meter dog leash and practicing handling skills.

To hold the long lead, unravel the long line and lay your hand flat, palm facing upwards, at the top of the handle. The top of the handle should lay across your palm. You are now going to gather the long line by passing it back and forth across your palm. This creates loops of line hanging down either side of your hand and you can close your palm around the central point. Do not gather the long dog lead around your hand. We do this to ensure that if your dog takes off and a long line is pulled suddenly, it will not tighten around your hand, which could cause injury.

Hold the gathered longline lead in one hand and place your other hand on the part of the lead extending to your dog. This is how you will control the length of the long line. You can loosen your grip on the gathered section to let out the line slowly. Use your free hand to guide the lead, or gather it back in as necessary.

Some dog owners prefer a thumb grip, where the handle is looped around your thumb and your fist is closed around the handle. When the lead is pulled, your fist tightens around the bottom of the handle first, protecting your thumb from damage. Your thumb prevents the long lead from pulling straight out of your hands.

How to use a long dog lead for trailing?

The longline waterproof lead can be dropped to the ground to trail behind your dog, allowing you to grab or step on the line from further away should you need to. Ensure your dog is comfortable being on the longline before advancing to this step.

Is it safe to use a longline lead?

Always be aware of your environment and potential hazards that the line may become caught on:

• When interacting with other dogs, be mindful of the line tangling around other dogs.
• Be aware that rushing to the end of the line and being stopped abruptly by reaching the end poses a risk of injury to the dog and handler.
• A long line may not be suitable for all dogs.
• Be aware that the longer the line, the larger the force will be when stopped abruptly, we recommend teaching your dog to stay within the parameters of the line when roaming and playing.
