Common Questions

Is it good for dogs?

Yes, it works for dogs well, but it’s a bit smaller to handle for big dogs and can rip for stronger ropes.

Does it damage plastic?

Sorry, the existing reviews don’t describe such an experience, but it depends on the nature of the plastic.

Recommended in spite of its faults. If it works for you, you can go to the training sessions without having fear of damage. Owners of small to medium dogs will enjoy the length and sturdiness, making it a good value for the price.
