Highlighted Reviews

— Bobbie

"It works great for Willa! Because of health issues I don’t walk her other than to take her to the vet and groomer."

— Carol

"It is smaller and light, suitable for small dogs, but not strong enough for dogs."

Bottom Line

The leash is prone to mechanical failures and inconsistencies. Unless you have a very small or calm dog, and are comfortable with potential replacements, you may want to consider other options.
