Long Line
I need to go get a long line for my puppy Bernie to begin training a recall. I haven't seen any long line type stuff in pet stores and the only thing I can think that would be similar is a horse lunge line which is easily found in any tack shop.
Has anyone found something else that worked better than a horse lunge line?

I have a 20 ft long leash that works well. I think it was purchased at petsmart but it is the same as a lunge line for horses. I would just make sure the snap isn't to heavy for your corgi. Did you try walmart? They may have it also.

I found a special rope that I use for outdoor training, and water training - it floats, the one i got was 30 ft long but they have it in the 50' too. I got mine on-line at http://www.erinsedge.zoovy.com/product/MEN003SUPER This site has a lot of great stuff too...for all breeds ( they specialize in labs)
The rope may be a bit much for a small puppy...but great for training to swim and such...I will be using it attached to Dillon's collar in the kayak ( he has a life vest too) and that way if he jumps out ( doubt he will) he wont wash away ! I have a life line to drag him back ... Emilie |

I ended up going to a tack shop this afternoon and found a lunge line with a relatively light snap that I'll try. Its cotton. Its pretty long too, so I'll have some length to play with (I think its like 30-45 feet long). For $16 I think it was a deal.
It'll be nice letting her romp around in the grass with "pseudofreedom". Hehe.
