A good leash, another necessary equipment, is critical to controlling and training a Border Collie. Like collars, they are made of leather, nylon, or cotton. Unlike collars, the first leash you buy for your Border Collie may well be the last if it is well constructed.<\/p>\n

You will also find some with leather or nylon handles, chain bodies, ring, and clip. Some trainers do not particularly like chain leashes because of the noise made by the links when the dogs move.<\/p>\n

Leashes typically will be about 6 feet (1.8 m) although some Obedience trainers like them much shorter. Talk to your Obedience trainer about his or her preferences.<\/p>\n
