I end up spending so much time trying to get the line untangled and in a good position to administer a correction that training becomes very contrived and lacks spontaneity. I think my dog is picking up on this and associating long line work as a very specific activity. Any thoughts on how to handle the long line better??? I use a thirty foot line. Should I be using a longer line? Particularly, for recall work once the long line is on my dog stays very close to me because he knows I am gonna call him so it is hard to set up a situation where he might not come while on the long line. It's like a game - okay the line is on so I better stay near him because he is gonna want to call me and he'll pop the line if I don't come so I better just follow him everywhere he goes.
