    BigLeash Vibration Training Vibration training allows you to use the vibration signal from the remote trainer as a stand-in for the traditional leash to accomplish your training objectives. The goal is to achieve off-leash control aided and reinforced by the remote trainer. Training is accomplished by using the vibration signal to simulate the different pulling pressures usually associated with the leash during normal walking or training exercises.
