"Cannot recommend Simon and his skills enough!
Here’s Teddy, our 12-month-old cockapoo. He’s great off the lead (most of the time) but recently picked up a terrible habit of pulling. He became a pain to walk and none of enjoyed lead walking with him. I came across a post on Yachtdogs page about a figure of 8 lead and how well they worked for dogs that pull. I chatted with Simon and he explained how the leads work. We have always used a slip lead with Teddy but recently that was failing to stop him from pulling. Simon was so helpful and reassured us that a figure of 8 lead would help. I was sceptical as I’d not come across them before, but we ordered one and it arrived yesterday! 3 walks down and not a single pull from Teddy. He wasn’t impressed at first, there was a lot of scratching and flipping around trying to get it off his nose but once he’d got over it, he was fine.
If you’re struggling with a dog that pulls, I highly recommend a chat with Simon.
Here’s to lots more enjoyable lead walking in sunny Cornwall. "
"For anyone struggling with a dog that pulls like crazy on a lead - a figure of 8 lead from Yachtdogs is what you need in your life!
We have an 18 month old Border Collie who’s training has been great .. except when walking on a lead! She would pull and pull, and it was so frustrating! I understand that she’s still young and a lot of it is likely linked to excitement, but it would still drive us crazy as we’d tried so many ways to get her to stop! Anyway, a friend of ours recommended Yachtdogs as they had ordered a figure of 8 lead for their boisterous Labrador. I can honestly say, this lead is a game changer!
At first, she absolutely hated it But we persevered and after a while, she started to get used to it - the difference in just two days alone is fantastic! She walks so much better already and I can actually hold the lead loosely because she just doesn’t pull It’s magical It makes me enjoy our walks so much more now - The change in her behaviour really is amazing! "
Yachtdogs were fab from start to finish! All of their leads are made bespoke for you - we just sent over some colour requests and they sent us some rope options. Ours was ordered, made, despatched AND received in just 5 days! Incredible And such good quality too.
5 Highly recommend!
