This is a nice little line. It's light weigh, floats and is easy to manage. Only fault is the brass clip is not up to par. It's difficult to open and feels cheap. I think it will hold once it's on, but I'd be worried if I had a big dog that pulled hard. Will probably end up cutting it off and adding my own.

Good medium weight long line. If your dog is fast, may not be a bad idea to wear one or two leacher gloves to avoid a rope burn. Just long enough for training pointer/retriever as a pup...any longer and it'd probably be getting tangled all the time.

I've been using this check cord for a while on training sessions with my dog. It's took a breathing through brush. I have a few knots tied on it at 10 and 20 feet so I have a stop where I can grab. Even with tight knots you can get them out if they happen by accident. I'd buy this again.

The media could not be loaded. Kali loves this leash. We can play freely with in our un-fenced yard without worrying about her. The leash is long enough that if she starts to wander where she shouldn't, we can easily grab the end of it without her thinking we're getting so close that we are going to grab her. The leash has held up awesome in snow, mud, water, etc. It hasnt gotten unreasonably dirty, even going through mud. It cleand easily and does not get hung up on anything in the yard. It will get pinched under a car tire or if she manages to take more than one lap around a tree, but so would any other rope. No complaints here. We love it

Update: 12/15/19 the thumb lever on the buckle broke off. We still love the rope and are still able to use it, although it's not as easy to hook or unhook. We will message the manufacturer and update you on the outcome.

Update: 12/23/29 received a new cord in the mail from the manufacturer after a very short and pleasant email exchange. Very very pleased with their customer service and very happy with the product. 5 stars

I haven't written many Amazon reviews, but this product deserves a good one.

My almost-2 year old Shepherd Husky absolutely loves dog parks and beaches, but has almost no recall drive. She won't take treats (yes, even chicken, cheese, hot dogs, and everything else 'pros' have said always works), and ignores whistles and squeakers. We've had days at the dog park of 1 hour of fun and 3 hours of trying to catch her. I've had to call my wife to help with triangulation.

This cord is heavy enough that it lays hard on the ground. She figured out how to get it off her feet in 10 minutes. Other dogs see the bright color and avoid it easily. It's firm enough that it doesn't wrap around logs or water fountains or picnic benches. And it's clearly already modified her behavior from "we're here to play, you and me" to "Ok, I'm not in charge of this game and I'm ok with that."

Honestly, this has solved the only problem I was having with my dog. I have had large breeds before, and never needed anything like this for recall training. But if any of the above sounds like your experience with your dog, buy this cord and you'll be glad you did. Cheers to good dogs everywhere!
