Many of you have purchased 50 foot training leashes from me via the Natural Dog Blog store.  Thank you!  In between DVD-related tasks I decided to take these fine, long leashes mainstream – which you can now see at www.bestdogtrainingleash.com.  I found an excellent leash manufacturer here in the U.S.A. – so with the exception of the bolt snaps these leashes are completely woven, dyed, and sewn stateside.  And the price is still an ultra-reasonable $30.00 USD.  I’d love for you to take a look at the website and tell me what you think.  And yes, I CAN ship overseas.

Long training leash coiled and ready for action

For those of you who HAVE purchased leashes – I was wondering if any of you might have a “leash testimonial” that I could post on that website?  How has having a nice long, orange, nylon leash changed your life for the better?  Consider it a warm-up for the Natural Dog Training testimonial I’m going to be requesting as soon as the DVDs are ready.  Send it along to me at: neil at naturaldogblog dot com.

I’m also considering setting up an affiliate program for the leashes.  Would any of you with websites be interested in becoming an affiliate – which would mean earning some $$$ for leash sales that you generate?  Let me know (at the e-mail address above – and please include a link to your website) – if I get enough interest then I will definitely pursue it.

As for the Natural Dog Training DVDs – DVD #1 is down to the final, final steps – all the editing is done, so we’re making all of the DVD-related stuff (chapters, etc.).  So many details!  But that means that we’re rolling on DVD #2 as well – and this one will go a lot more quickly than DVD#1.  So, rest assured, we’re making progress and getting ever-closer to our release date.  Just in time for “spring training”!  Of course we’ve gotten two feet of snow in the past two weeks, so…bring on the sunshine – please!
