Buying Guide for French Bulldog Training Leash
Material
The most common materials for leashes used for training are nylon, leather, and cotton. The material you choose should depend on your lifestyle and needs.
- Nylon – Durable, waterproof, machine washable, lightweight and very affordable.
- Leather – Very durable, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, and highly adjustable.
- Cotton – Soft and durable but may stretch over time and show wear and tear sooner.
Size
The size of the leash should reflect the size of your French Bulldog. Generally, if your dog is larger than 40-50 pounds you will want to switch to an extra-large leash. For dogs that are between 20-40 pounds you’ll want to find a medium leash. For French Bulldogs under 20 pounds, a small leash will suffice.
Style
Most stores offer your standard six-foot leash, but you can also opt for longer lengths, retractable leashes, or traffic-style leashes. You’ll need to consider the control and safety of each style before deciding which to purchase.
Comfort
The handle should be comfortable on your hand and easy to grip. Many leashes will use padded handles for added comfort. You may also want to find a leash with reflective material to ensure you and your pup can be seen at night.
