Why a long line, not off-leash

Off-leash before reliability = guaranteed reinforcement for blowing you off. Long line = you always win.

How to use it

Biothane preferred. Drag, don't hold. If they ignore the cue, calmly walk down the line and reel them in — but still pay when they arrive.

Always pay arrival

Even a slow, distracted recall gets paid. Punishing arrival = recall poisoned.

Key takeaways

  • Long line = safety net
  • Reel in, then still pay
  • Arrival is always paid
