Wonder lead
I have been working my pup on the wonder lead for about one week now; she is catching on pretty quickly. How long does it usually take to transfer over to a regular collar and leash?

Re: Wonder lead
once the walking with you and the quartering patterns are developed and are habit then going to the check cord is next..as for regular collar ..I always continue to use the command lead for the most part...Just make it a habit for me also

Re: Wonder lead
It's not the same effect. If you are using a training sequence like the Smith's, you will start doing checkcord work, then whoa post, then move to an e-collar. If you are simply using it to teach heel, it will be up to you to keep the dog in line walking on a loose lead without the control of the Wonder Lead.
Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

Re: Wonder lead
There is way more to the Command lead it is about it is about teaching a dog to go with you come to you and quartering patterns it is teaching a point of contact which has a meaning, tap tap for movement and a constant till stopped and this then extends and preps to the check cord and then to the e collar.Cajun Casey wrote:It's not the same effect.

the work with you does start with the dog next to you but
It is just as important as cuing and working the dog in front of you as it is for everything else..to much of one thing limits the true usefulness of a wonderful tool

Re: Wonder lead
Is there a difference between the wonder lead and the lariat/rope thing they sell in tractor supply that looks exactly like it?

Re: Wonder lead
Yes a slight difference, the wonder lead has a stopper on it to prevent the loop from moving to much and it also has a stopper on the end to prevent the lead from slipping through your hands.
