Commander City Pro – Freedom When They Want It, Control When You Need It

Give your dog the freedom to explore without sacrificing control. The Commander City Pro is an 18" traffic lead designed for larger dogs who crave a bit of independence—but still need quick, reliable handling in high-traffic or high-stakes situations.
