Leash Length Matters.

The Labs reluctantly acknowledge that they need to be kept under control when we hike…that’s one of the reasons we keep them on leash. We’ve learned that when it comes to leashes one length does not fit every situation. When we hike on single track or technical trails, we use shorter leashes for greater control. When we walk on double track or fire roads, we opt for longer leashes to give the Labs a LITTLE bit more room to roam. Gracie the cat doesn’t walk on a leash, but she was nice enough to make a guest appearance on this video.

Move more. Move often. Experiment to find the gear that works best for you (and your dogs).
