On use
As with any check chain, the makers say it should be used responsibly, ideally with guidance from a qualified trainer, and never left on a dog unattended.
Why we chose it
It's priced lower than the extra-heavy version and suits the majority of cases a check chain gets used for at all. We'd point anyone unsure which weight they need towards asking their trainer rather than guessing.

Full description

It's made from chrome-plated mild steel with welded links, lighter than the extra-heavy version in the same Ancol range, and intended purely as a training aid.
