"I’m happy your thunder leash was on sale. It is easy to use on my dog when she is in a hurry to go out. I leash her every time for safety and this leash is very safe anti- pulling for my dog. "

"I have a 60 lb Labrabull and she pulls on walks. This Very Expensive leash did nothing to deter her from pulling. "

Bottom Line

While it’s a good safety option for small dogs, larger and more active dogs need better, more durable solutions. Buyers should consider its limitations and evaluate whether it's worth the investment for their specific needs.
