I recently moved somewhere with a rather calm river and my dog all of a sudden likes swimming. He's not a people person and is not dog-friendly so he's kept on a leash at all times. His nylon long line got pretty heavy when he decided to go for a swim and I'm worried it would weigh him down (he's only 38 pounds) or get tangled under the water. He will be getting a life jacket but that doesn't solve the tangling issue. I love biothane leashes but I think a long line of that material would be too heavy in the water.
Does anyone have experience with lightweight long lines that are good in water? Do you have any experience with floating lines? This company claims to have a floating lead but I can't find any information on how strong it is. Ideally, I need a lead that's lightweight but strong enough not to snap if he sees a dog in the distance and takes off.
