You can use it to work on your eat command, as the strap part tends to be quite long. Retractable dog leashes can be helpful for owners with physical disabilities.

The slide cable is a one-piece cable that has an O-ring on one end opposite the handle.

The sliding strap is typically used for training or in the show ring and is sometimes referred to as a British style strap.

A longer version of an everyday dog ​​leash is the control cord. They are usually used for training and you can buy in different lengths some that extend very long distances to train and recover work.
