How long should a long line leash be?

Lines around 15 to 30 feet suit most recall training; longer lines give more freedom but take more practice to handle.

Should a long line be clipped to a collar or a harness?

A back-clip harness is usually preferred, since it spreads pressure when the dog reaches the end of the line.
