bradl Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 A loose lead means there is a little slack in the lead. The opposite of a loose lead is where the lead is tight like a piano string - in some cases practically lifting the dog's front legs off the ground. Cairn movement should be free and easy and that would be hard to see if the dog's natural motions are constrained by a tight lead. I guess I am surprised a loose lead isn't a universal requirement. I admit, it can be challenging to show some young Cairns on a loose lead, at least until they get ringwise (or the handler gets better bait). CAIRNTALK: Questions?
