10-Metre Long Line (8 mm) — Build a Brilliant Recall
10-Metre Long Line (8 mm) — Build a Brilliant Recall
Give your dog freedom to sniff and explore while you stay calmly connected. Our 10-metre, 8 mm long line is the perfect training partner for teaching a reliable recall in real-life settings—fields, footpaths, and everyday adventures. Each lead comes with our step-by-step recall guide so you know exactly how to use it with kindness and confidence.
Why a long line (and not an extendable)?
Retractable/extendable leads create constant tension and can teach dogs to pull. More importantly, the moment you unclip an extendable, your dog knows it’s “off lead” and behaviour changes. A long line lets you rehearse off-lead behaviour while still attached, so your dog learns to come back because of you—not the gadget.
Designed for real training
Ideal length: 10 m gives enough distance for genuine recall practice without losing control.
Easy to handle: 8 mm line—light, supple.
Confidence & safety: Maintain connection as you proof recalls around everyday distractions.
Kind methods: Works beautifully with reward-based training and calm handling.
What’s included with the line:
Full step-by-step recall instructions written by thedogcalmer: where to start, how to progress, common mistakes to avoid, and simple games that make “Come!” irresistible.
Quick start (from the guide)
Fit a well-fitted harness (attach the long line to the harness or a flat collar).
Begin in a quiet field; Attach the long line to a post or a tree, walk your dog out to the end of the lead and stand on the lead about 8 feet inside the edge and do short recalls ( as shown the video above) all the way back to post.
Reward generously with a high value treats each time.
