This leash is great for training your dog as it has two points to hold it so that you can hold it close and give it distance. This helps with navigating crowded areas or restraining your dog when they encounter another dog that wants to play but you don't! In the center of the leash there is our advanced shock-absorbing component which cushions and eases the pressure for both the owner and the canine. This makes training your dog a lot easier as you can show you are in control. This is a great leash whether you are training a service dog, security or law enforcement K9, or just your best friend on four legs! We are confident that this dog leash is the best price for a good quality leash that works to train and day to day walks!
