My friend, a professional dog trainer, recommended this leash to me. He says it's all he uses for teaching leash obedience. It just works!

I saw the email marketing on this and was intrigued. A week or two later, I attended a totally unaffiliated workshop that included bird dog training and the instructor praised this lead. I tried his on my dog and really liked how it worked, so I ordered one when I got home. It is very easy to use in training and helps so much in developing a "heel" style walking pace with my dog, despite her intense nature.
Pros
  • Easy to use. High quality. Impact on dog can be in just an hour or less.
Cons
  • Stiff and not comfortable to handle without gloves. A little pricey for the materials that are used, but the cost is worth the outcome with one's dog.

The Wonder Lead shipped and arrived promptly. It seems to work as noted in instructions and the CD tutorial.

If you train as many dogs as I do you will want to own one. If you are in my classes you will get one. If you train on your own you might want to check it out!!!

Wonder Lead
March 25, 2022
I have trained dogs for 40 years and never used this lead for training to heel. Much easier to control than the traditional choke collar or pinch collar. Wish I bought one years ago. Wear gloves if you have office hands. :-)
Pros
  • Dog responds very well. Learns to heel in half the time. Simple to use and built to last the rest of my training days.
Cons
  • Should wear gloves if you are doing an extended walk or training session.

The wonder lead makes you wonder why you waited so long to get anything else. Should have been our first and only leash. Guess that's why it’s called Wonder.

Love this training tool
February 24, 2022
You guys and gals score again! Delmar Smith's Wonder Lead is the perfect training tool for my rambunctious Toy Aussie. He has learned to heel, sit, stay, and lay down without fighting and distraction in no time with the Wonder Lead and training video. You've got a customer as long as I have a dog! Dave Swarbrick

Wonder Lead
December 30, 2021
Needs to be used with gloves as the lead is rough on the hands. The loop black stop guard fell off and disappeared after second day. Need a new one.
Pros
  • Works well. The loop backs off of the dogs neck when tension is released. That is a good thing.
Cons
  • The black stop guard that keeps the loop in place fell off after the second or third day and disappeared. I need a new one.

Works great for training family pets
December 2, 2021
Product was recommended by trainer for our family pet, an Old English Sheepdog who was a bit much on walks. This has helped tremendously! It does exactly as promised. He is now a pleasure to walk. This is not complicated at all to use. Easy!
Pros
  • Very easy to use. Great video showing instructions and how quickly you get response from dog.
Cons
  • There was a little red cap (?) included in the packaging. It is shown in the intro on the video. It is never mentioned anywhere what it is for and it isn't shown in the video what to do with it.

Best lead I have used
August 29, 2021
I have a five month old puppy weighing 48 pounds. I bought the Wonder lead and the dog responded almost immediately to the healing training. It minimises the pull reflex in the dog and is so much easier to use than any lead I have ever used. The DVD is also very helpful to people who try to muscle their dog to heal. I have all ready recommended it to friends.
Pros
  • slips on easily and gives great control
Cons
  • none

This Lead works better than advertized!
August 3, 2021
This Lead works better than advertised! I am not sure why but the increase in control begins instantly and without the need for forced corrections. The DVD does not explain this but I expect the repeated use will translate into "good" learned habits that will transition into use with all leads. I will continue to use this more in casual settings and in holding blinds to create long term behaviors.
Pros
  • Easy to use and no specialized knowledge needed for amateurs.
Cons
  • Just a bit more difficult to hang around your neck or stuff into pocket when off the dog, truley a minor issue.

Wonder Lead
July 19, 2021
I have noticed a significant improvement in pulling while using the wonderlead. I am combining the lead with a weekly Huntsmith seminar which is even more helpful. The lead is useful for shaping the dogs behavior but the training changes yours.
Pros
  • Almost instant response from your dog.
Cons
  • Be prepared by having gloves if you have a large, strong, or intense dog.

Wonder Lead
July 2, 2021
I am new to bird dog training and have a very energetic 3 month old Brittany. I was able to literally have him heeling cleanly by my side within 20 minutes of incorporating this lead. In fairness, I had worked on having him heel on a few different sessions with a traditional collar; however, he would not stay in the "zone" and didn't respond that well to the tugs on his lead with the regular collar. When I used the Wonder Lead, it stays right where you need it so puppy can't bite and play with it and is easy to give quick pressure on-pressure off corrections.
Pros
  • Quick response time on the lead relaxing after a corrective tug.
  • I like the stiffness that allows you to keep it relaxed while also keeping it in position above the dog.
Cons
  • None

Best way to a correct heel!
May 9, 2021
Love these leads! When putting my 6 month old lab in training, their first comment was that it was obvious he'd been on a retractable lead. After learning how to use it, I borrowed one for our first time we brought him home for a weekend. He's off lead now (perfect heel), but I still use this in public areas. Never going back to a retractable lead.
Pros
  • Immediacy of correction.
  • Durability
  • He knows it means it's time to work
Cons
  • Won't fit in a pocket.

A gentler way to get the
April 23, 2021
This is money well spent. The quick release of tension provides positive, voiceless reward. Easier on the trainer and the dog. A constant hacking used to correct behavior is greatly reduced. Wonder lead has allowed me to work in close proximity while conditioning to a given set of commands. Being able to walk a dog at heal through a yard full of chickens has impressed a number of landowners who have just given my permission to hunt. You don't necessarily need to teach a dog to hunt but you must teach it manners.
Pros
  • Easy to master.
Cons
  • Haven't used it long enough to determine.

April 22, 2021
Bought this to reinforce my dog to heel. Other dog owners told me it's the best and easiest way to do that training. I have not used it yet because of a upcoming Hunt Test. Now that is behind us, l will start the heeling training.
Pros
  • Looks like it will be the perfect side to teach my dog the heel command.

The Wonder Lead works as advertised. My two GSPs are wheeling and moving with rather than trying to pull me around..
Pros

Game Changer
March 9, 2021
This simple design is efficient and well made. I'm no stranger to training field dogs, but my recent pup is very smart and stubborn. All her obedience training had been going well, with the exception of the heel command. The wonder Lead got us on track on day one and continues to be a valuable tool for maintaining and refining the heel command.
Pros
  • Simple, effective, and easy to clean. The design and materials pretty much guarantee that it will be used by generations in your outfit.
Cons
  • Gloves are recommended, but they should be mandatory when using this tool.

January 18, 2021
although I would have preferred a shorter lead, you can certainly shorten it yourself if you want. the stiffness of the lead allows immediate correction and release making communication to the dog great--they get it. I would highly recommend this product, despite the cost.
Pros
  • excellent communication with the dog
Cons
  • expensive

Fantastic tool for teaching a stubborn healer

I have been using one of these for years, pointers, labs or just teaching dogs to walk at heel. It make either right action easy and wrong action difficult. Will continue to use nad recommend.
Pros
  • Quality, price, easy if use, success!
Cons
  • I wish it came in longer sizes.

The Wonder Lead is Awesome!
October 1, 2020
This lead is perfect for my 6 mos. old GSP. She is much more aware and mindful of where I am on a walk than with a check cord or regular leash and she is developing good habits as a result. I also used it on my 9 yr. old GSP and it had the same effect...great product!

It is a Wonder!
September 3, 2020
I have been training dogs for over 50 years and this is one of the best training devices I have used. It works a advertised and is more effective than a standard choke collar. My only concern is that it is not as comfortable to hold as a nice leather leash.
Pros
  • Very effective on active puppies.
Cons
  • Not comfortable to hold.

We had an uncontrollable Brittany, and, now, she can be walked by my daughter. It has taken some time to get the dog to this state, but we were making NO progress with other methods
Pros

Cons
  • Hard on your hands, early in the training

The Wonder Lead has been instrumental in leash training my 100 lbs Labrador Retriever (yes, he is 100% Lab). I feel confident he will mind when on outings and there are multiple distractions around. If there is a drawback, it is that the lead must be placed exactly where the instructions indicate.
Pros
  • Achieves desired results.
Cons
  • The learning curve (although small)
  • The rope can burn your hands if the dog lunges, etc.
