Using this lead is a breeze. For training, hold one end of the double - ended lead and use it to guide your dog gently. If you want to go hands - free, you can adjust the length to your comfort. When using it with two dogs, attach each dog to one end of the lead. Remember to keep the brass fittings away from water to prevent rusting. If the leather gets dirty, wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry naturally. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the leather as it may damage its soft texture.
