Best long line to use with your working dog
August 12, 2022
I own several of these lines as my Newfoundlands do water rescue work. They are great to teach certain exercises at various water depths. They don’t hurt your hand, are well made, great quality and last or ever!! Pls consider making a 75 ft line - we could use that for some of the advanced exercises.

The cord is sturdy and light. It is perfect to track the puppy while learning to fetch. Good price and fast service

Great Trainer Lead
August 4, 2021
I like this lead for its light weight and visibility. It is easy to see how much line I have between me and the dog especially in training a young dog. Great lead for the price!
Pros
  • Light weight and easy to hold. High visibility

We're beginning to train our four-month old Brittany in a park behind our home. This check cord allows us to let him run and gives us have control over where he goes.

Knots easier than a 1/2” rope. Hopefully it stiffens up over time. Soft now

Great training tool

This is a great piece of equipment to train a young, energetic dog. Provides easy control and doesn't snag or catch in the brush. VERY well made.

Tangles easily
December 22, 2020
I like the lightweight nature of this check cord, and the length is ideal for my Pudelpointer puppy to roam around without distraction. Despite our best efforts, the cord continually gets knotted and tangled when we let it drag behind us as we are working the dog in the field. It gets frustrating and takes a while to work out because it is so long, so we do not use it as often as we'd like. It doesn't seem to stay tangle free like other check cords we've used.

Wear-Resistance and Easy on The Hands
December 21, 2020
Great check chord! Polly barely notices it. We have used it at the beach and in the field, and it works flawlessly. Durable construction that hasn't frayed after 3 months, high visibility, and it is easy on your bare hands, unlike the plastic-based versions. 100% recommend for puppy training and maintaining control before you are confident with you pup fully off-leash.
Pros
  • Durable
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • N/A

I'm not training my dog, I just want her to be able to run further than a 20' lead lets her. I want her to be trained to come when called and I think this is a great way to accomplish my goal.

I like it a lot. It's surprisingly lightweight. (I would say it is as light as, if not lighter than, the 30-foot check cord). Dog can run wild without great impediment, but, when necessary, can be easily checked for training purposes.

Buddy is a 55 lb giant puppy who ate thru a previous 30 ft flat lead cord....... When he takes off he will pull you down. My new cord holds up very well. Just need gloves on to hold him back. At 6 months he's messed up several cords, but not the 3/8 orange. Good product.

Bought these so my dogs could play in the surf at the beach and still be on lead. They lived up to their billing - waterproof, cleaned up easily, dried quickly and no corrosion on the buckle. They should perform well in the field too!

Great cord. Make sure if it knots up to unknot it asap. I left a few knotted, and it started to wear on those spots. Besides that it's been great to give her more freedom on walks and will be using it with training electronic collar eventually.

Good check cord. Leather wrap could be more durable. When it got wet it started to unravel and looks like it will not stay on much longer. However this is mostly decorative.

This is an excellent product, lightweight, and very sturdy. My dog has drug it through blackberry brambles, rose bushes, field grass, etc. It is holding up well; the clip is sturdy, and I like the casing around it. I would highly recommend this product...dries quickly too! Does not hold the dirt either.

Great check cord. This is a strong cord, and I haven't had a problem with it getting tangled up. It dries quickly and can be washed off easily. 30 feet is a great length as well. Definitely a good buy for training purposes.
