Where can I get a 15 foot lead?

I would like a 15 foot lead so I can get started on training my puppy. All the pet
supply stores (even the botique ones) and discount stores only carry 6 foot leads (useless for training.)

Anyone have a source?

Hi there. I know that stores that carry livestock equipment have horse leads that are quite long. In fact you might have to cut it down to the size you would like.

I bought a 30ft woven leash at Petsmart. It was more expensive than I should have paid. Saw a 20ft nylon one at a dollar store a week later..

I currently have a 75 footer I made from nylon cord from Home depot and a snap swivel from there too, made a loop as a handle on one end. all of $10..

Only thing to watch is when using it it doesn't wrap around an ankle. The rope burn is wicked.

I strongly echo Mama's recommendation. You can easily find horse longe lines (for exercising horses) in a tack store, for pretty cheap. No rope burn too.

I have a lunge lead for horses that I use for my dog, I believe its 50 feet and I got it for under $20 so it would be cheaper for you. Its great very strong and has a great clasp on it. They carry them in Co-op stores and tac shops.

Thanks, I'll try the local feed store.

BTW, I'm using one of my boat ropes now, Idon't like it as well as a flat lead.

Also, thanks for all the online links. I'd rather order stuff online and let the post-lady bring it to me.
