Gracie's Mommy
Well-known member
Ok, so up until now, we've had a retractable lead only. I'm buying a regular lead today as I'd like to start teaching Gracie loose leash walking. My question is...should I only use one or the other; or will she know when the regular lead is one versus the retractable? I'd still like to be able to use the retractable leash when we take her out to potty, but also want her to know how to walk politely on a regular lead. Will this be confusing for her? As I'm hoping to do CGC and Therapy Dog certs with her, she will need to know how to loose lease walk, anyway. Any advice would be appreciated.
