3/16" lace is perfect for larger dogs (over 60 lbs) or dogs that are inexperienced or dogs that pull. It is also good for every day walking and training leads. A nice lead for obedience work. Because of the width of the lace we do not recommend a loop lead. We recommend either a snap or we can braid it right onto the collar of your choice. Choice of snap is either a standard 3/8" snap (nickel-plated zinc or bronze plated), or a nickel-plated zinc safety snap.
