Leash for a choke chain?

Trying to train my dog but I’m not sure what kind of leash to use with a choke chain

Use a leather leash, 6 ft long.  ONLY USE CHOKE CHAIN IF YOU KNOW HOW TO USE IT.  There is a right way & a wrong way & if you don't know how to use the choke chain you can really harm your dog.  a choke chain is a wonderful training tool if you know how to use it.

I learned to train with a choke chain & a loose leash.  Using my bodylegs to make corrections.  This makes the dog pay attention to you as to what you are going to do next.

I use a harness as a dog trainer told me choke chains cause pain and teach nothing, I have mastiff not always friendly has a playful aggression and weighing 8 stone on pure muscle can be handle but the harness works perfectly

If it is a big or strong dog, I recommend a leather leash.  This is because leather is easy on the hands when you have to hold it tight.  If it is a small dog, it doesn't matter.  For proper training, a 6-foot leash is good because you can walk around the dog and so forth.  For walking the dog once it is well trained, 4 feet can be good.  
Of course I assume somebody is teaching you how to use a choke chain.  There is a particular technique to it.  It is not intended to hurt the dog.
