I've been using 100' of rope when I take Duke to the park. This has been successful. At first I tied him to a tree so he had limited running. He seemed to get the idea. Now I hold onto about 50' of the line. If he is playing with other dogs, that works fine and I'll let go. If a distraction is about to occur, he gets reined in.
Tonight we went to Petco where they allow dogs on leashes. This was an adventure and he was a little leary. He had to sniff everything. When we checked out he got treats and he stood on his hind legs just beautifully. Everyone was impressed.
I hate it gets dark so early. I can't see where I'm walking at the park so I have had an accident. Now I wear my rubber boots.
