Frequently asked questions

What is a dog training lanyard used for? A training lanyard is worn around the neck to keep a whistle, clicker or dummy cord instantly accessible during gundog work, obedience training or fieldwork — so your hands stay free and your tools are always within reach.

Are ProTrain lanyards suitable for all breeds? Yes — our lanyards are designed for the handler, not the dog. They're used by trainers working with all breeds from Labradors and Spaniels to German Shepherds and Border Collies.
