Barrows Ironhide Check Cord

A check cord is how you give a dog room to work while keeping a line on the outcome, and the Barrows Ironhide is a round quarter inch Biothane cord built for exactly that. It comes in 15 foot and 30 foot lengths and in orange or green, finished with a solid brass snap and a reinforced sleeve where the hardware meets the cord.

Round Biothane does not hold water or pick up burrs the way rope does, and Barrows describes it as waterproof and easy to clean. Orange stays visible when it is trailing through grass, which matters when you need to find the end of the line in a hurry.

Pair training sessions with a pouch of our single ingredient freeze dried treats so the reward is ready the moment the repetition is right. More of the range sits in Barrows check cords and bumpers, and this piece is worth reading first: letting a dog stretch out on new ground.
