Puppy Recall

I used a washing line attached to a lead a couple of times, that was quite long and didnt cost very much.

I assume you mean a flexi lead.

A long trailing line is very different.

With a dog on a flexi lead you usually end up following the dog which is exactly what you shouldn't do if you want a good recall. Dogs are attracted to things that move away from them.

A long trailing line is not attached to you, the dog simple trails it. It is your safety net, you can tread on it if need be (or someone else can for you).

Ah ! I get it.. now that sounds very good, i will go and purchase one of them, i did mean a flexi lead..

thanks for that...:T
