Pick one appropriate to your dog's size and energy level. [substeps] Variable-length button-activated leashes tend to get tangled a lot more easily and encourage the dogs to pull at the leash. [substeps] Anchor your foot at least ½ in (1.27 cm) above the ground. Never lead your dog around unless you have to back off the ground a bit in order to allow your dog to bend back down and put its nose to your hip. If you're going to walk both dogs, cross the right end of the leash over the new loop, then bend it to the left, under the ankle, and then back back up. [substeps] You can also cross one other length over the leash as appropriate. [substeps] For long walks, consider choosing nylon with something that looks like foam. Either decide on a vertical leash or cable leash.
