I would totally order that. I have at least three of these (at $16 each ) and I use them a LOT. I train the recall with it when I have a badly-trained adult to "fix," I tether my sneakier dog with one when we're outside.... I kind of use it like an x-pen.
I ordered one just this past week, and just got it a couple of days ago! Do you use this in the house? I had a different one (same length, but it got destroyed) and when I tried using it as a houseline, Kodee just got all wrapped around table legs, etc. That's why I was asking whether I should use a 6 ft leash in the house. Which one would you suggest?
BTW - what's an "x-pen". Sorry if I sound obtuse, I'm really not (usually)

I like the cotton line. I like more than six feet, and I like the lightness of the line attached to my jeans.
I just don't like the twenty feet of leeway indoors.
Outdoors (totally different subject), I use it as a substitute for the x-pen Mike showed you. It keeps the sneaky dog Oliver inside the yard, but gives him twenty feet of wander-room.

LOL I love it that my pups bite the leash.
Biting the leash means they're not biting me
With my pup, biting the leash meant that I was next . He would get himself all worked up on the line first, and then go for any bit of loose (and sometimes NOT loose) clothing he could find. It made me mental. I ended up using a 20' cotton line that had been "customized" by my dog to about 8', and then I doused the thing with bitter apple so he'd leave it alone. If Kodee has an aversion to the bitter apple that might work for him too.

Wiggle the leash before they get the chance to bite your clothing, they'll be back on that leash before you can say "doodlebug".
The leash I use is like a thick round cotton slip lead, that thing is invincible. Get this: I left it over the top of Yaskos kennel run, I got home and saw it on his kennel floor. I panicked and ran to look at it...... it's still in one piece!!!

Having a more invincible rope would have made the game much more enjoyable, for sure Then, chewing the rope wouldn't have meant the escape of my wild little thing into the vulnerable surrounding table lamps and such. One escape that occurred in a nano-second cost me a glass table-top . Next time I try it your way .
