Highlighted Reviews

"My dogs - collies, think Lassie dogs - are fairly tall, so the standard stretchy 4' running leash didn't let my dogs get far enough away from me on hikes. This leash does. I'm very happy. Love the additional handhold down by the dog's neck."

— Sherice

"I purchased this to make walks easier upon acquiring another puppy but my Golden Retriever pulls so much he's literally ten feet or more ahead. The leash is like a bungee cord. It has a handle to get control, but it's so far ahead. It should be placed closer. I have to reel it in.."

Bottom Line

If you have a larger, well-behaved dog, this leash is a good option. However, if your dog pulls or is smaller, consider a different leash to avoid durability issues.
