Heavy Duty Retractable Dog Leash,16 ft Dog Walking Leash for Small Medium Dogs up to 44 lbs, Tangle Free. (Medium, Black)

I retired recently and started taking 3 walks a day. I have 3 dogs ranging from 15 to 90 lbs & each dog gets 1 walk per day. My old Flexi leash is 20+ years old and wasn't designed for large dogs so I opted to buy a replacement. There are so many options with a range in prices. Initially, I opted for a brand (not this one) that also makes other pet items and the brand name was familiar to me. That leash only lasted 5 months until it locked permanently and I had to throw it away. I will compare this new leash to the known brand which I had to throw away.Immediately, this leash felt sturdy, with a nice weight in my hand. The other brand felt cheap, lightweight, and flimsy.This leash strap pulls in and out with ease as my dogs run around & explore. The other leash felt flimsy as it pulled in and out and I questioned when it would stop retracting. (The old leash permanently locked itself after only 5 months of use.)The button to stop the leash and release it is comfortable to push and release as I control my dogs while walking. Someone's review said the button was awkward, which I found the opposite to be true. Also, my other leash kept auto-locking when the dogs jerked it or I pulled quickly due to an upcoming hazard. Auto-locking is unsafe and you lose control right when you need it. This leash's button pushes and releases naturally to give you the control exactly when you need it. It seems sturdy and long-lasting. The other one kept auto-locking until it auto-locked permanently after only 5 months of use. I haven't used the lock on this leash as I rarely find that feature necessary. I only use an extendable leash when I want to allow my dogs freedom to run, but still be safe. I use a regular leash / lead for more controlled situations (groomer, vet's office, etc.).If you have a chewer, this leash does come with a short extension that is chew-proof to attach at the end of the leash. I haven't used it as I don't need it, but it certainly would come in handy with a new puppy learning to walk on a leash.I've only used it for 5 walks so far, but I really feel it'll last.

This retractable dog leash is perfect for our large dog! It's the perfect length and it works just as it's supposed to. Love the color and the quality! Our dog is tall and weighs around 90lbs and we've never had any issue with it. Would definitely buy again!

Easy to use, our old one pulled all the way out after a few months and won't retract. Hopefully this one will last a lot longer.

Works well. I had two incidents where my dog was trying to get at another dog and the lock malfunctioned. However the leash was very strong. My fog is a miniture pitbull and weights 40lbs. I was able to snatch the leash and get my dog under control. The reel worked while I held the leash and the lock started back working fine. The second incident was my dog was tugging the leash trying to pull me and the lock jumped off and the leash extended. Again I grabbed the leash and pulled her back and the reel worked fine and the lock engaged fine. I train her to walk with me not in front of me. So I do light tugs tha makes a clicking sound because the leash lock is engaged. When she hears the clicking she slows down and walks along side of me. Perfect training technique.This is a good product. Very sturdy and ergonomicly friendly. Especially for people like me who have sever arthritis in the hands and fingers.

Works just as it’s supposed too. Enough leeway for my little one to move around freely. Strong enough so she doesn’t get away when she becomes a bit rambunctious.

Very happy with purchase. Well made and sturdy enough for a 60+ lb. Pitbull. Great transaction. Happy with item and seller.

Be sure to use to steel 1' cord for interim between dog and ribbon of leash.

Cute as all get out, sturdy little thing. Handle is a bit small though so not really comfy to hold. Great for kids though! My dog is small, I’m a regular size woman with small hands. Handle needs to be bigger
