Highlighted Reviews
"Did I say that this leash/rope is VERY light? It doesn’t wear them down. It’s not like they have to lug a heavy chain around, or something."
"Rope burns were invented by this lead. It's extremely slippery and sucks for any training class. It tangles extremely easily and you have no grip."
Bottom Line
While it has some use cases where it shines, its tendency to break under stress makes it a poor choice for training or use with strong dogs. It's best suited for light, occasional use with small, calm dogs.
