What do you guys use for leads or loops when competing? Last year I used just the plain loop that I use at work, but I'm thinking a show lead that I can wrap around the post like they do at shows would be easier. What does everyone else use?

Practice
I have been practicing with Sam using no restraint.
I started doing this because he is tough to groom and I wanted the extra challenge and it forced me to table train him quicker.
He is still a big baby with his bath and dry so I use full restraint with him there.
Not sure if it was the right thing to do but I didnt want to continue using a so called crutch if you will, at the shop and then have to go into the ring with a stardard poodle hooked to a GH. Sorry that just wasnt going to happen. LOL.

We competitors do not only use the GH for agggressive dogs, we use it for the dogs who tend to wander around the table. I have a cockerpoo that is adorable, but he is so amazed by the sights and sounds of the show that he starts to wander. The GH is used to keep his attention on me.

That makes sense, I used a cockapoo in competition and he wants to sit the whole time which makes it very hard. I could have used something like that just to keep him standing when I needed it. Oh well!What does a dog do on it's day off?
