Material: the processing line
It is unclear whether the processing line is part of the equipment man or dog!
It is actually a kind of large elastic also known as a lanyard or allows competition with a shock that connects the dog to the rider. The shock moves to avoid unpleasant for the dog and the rider during a canicross.
The processing lines are relatively easy to find in commerce, there are even lines "bricolées" by canicrosseurs with a rope and rubber. What is certain is that it must be chosen (or made) and is subject to adjustments at the beginning. Indeed, some dogs will tend to draw more or less strong depending on the length of the line. One can even say that we should choose a longer line for males, given their repeated stops to mark the start of the race!
The line feature is composed of a shock (more or less hard by weight and traction of dog), and some leaves (complete with a carabiner) has to function as linking the shock to harness the dogs. The processing line is an average of two meters. It is used to reduce the jolts and compensate for changes in rhythm, the difference in speed between man and dog.

It is clear that the regulation size for a canicross should rightly be less than or equal to 2m (memory).
Yes, the regulation size must be 2m max extension for canicross and 2m50 for canivtt. It is also necessary to control his dog if necessary, particularly during arrivals grouped.
