Before I go any further, let me give you a little background about my training experience. I started training dogs in obedience when I was about 10 years old. I started training through 4-H.

Use a leash made of nylon, leather, or cotton webbing. Do Not use a chain leash for training because it can cause large sores on your hands from your dog pulling.
