LONG dog leash recommendations

[Phooey]

Hi, does anyone have any recommendations for a LONG dog lead ie 30/40/50ft for when i take the dog out on the fields. Unfortunately she is a Beagle, so has the natural tendency to, leg-it


My idea was to use a standard dog lead for when on pavements etc, but then switch to a another lead/rope of upto 50ft when on the field.

Cheers for the replies. Good idea re the 'lunge' line - approx 8m seemed to be the max on these. I ended up ordering a 10m and 15m tracking lead from here - http://www.traininglines.co.uk/tracking-lead-20mm-...

Sometimes retractable leads have a use.

That's what we have been using atm - a 5m jobbie, but i've read of some cases of these breaking
