6' leash. Is that the law??

Thats only when your walking with them,, you can tie them up with 40' of chain if you desired,, But if your lab is not a chewer I would use Flat Stock webbing, its cheap and light weight you can get at most sporting good stores.
I use 20 feet of flat stock with loops sewn in the ends and I bought two of those giant carabeeners from Home Depot,I can hook one end to the picnic table leg and my dog is close to us. He will not chew thru unless his life is in danger!!
If yours is a chewer, get some light weight chain!!

Even with a chewer, webbing or rope can be used. Just include a 3' section at the end (closest to the dog) that is chain or cable. Dogs don't chew the middle of the lead, they pull it tight and then chew at that point next to then, needing the taughtness to actually chew through.
