3:42 just rescued an 8mos old border collie mix and found the 6' lead way too short to let her sprint and trot on an explore. Tried a 16' extendable and that's still too short. If we're out in a field and I've let her roam, I don't mind her popping off after a cricket or spider or bird and don't want her breaking her neck at the end of the lead. She doesn't pull at all on normal walks with the 6'. I'm not sure if she's ever worn a collar before but she taught herself to not pull after hitting the end of the lead a couple times. I guess this will be my next size up and work on longer recall.
Not to be harsh, but you're standing next to the street and there is 30 feet of slack line laying on the ground between you and your dog - and you're saying you have your dog "under control". Actually you don't. She could easily bolt into the street from where you are standing. You need to keep control of the leash - with just small amount of slack. This video shows how not to use a long line. You may want to do some more research on how to handle a long line leash, and re-do the video.

Thanks for the feedback we always appreciate it. Have a great day and thanks for watching the channel!
Perhaps don't waffle on with a boring intro, just get to the point.
