This leash is better suited for medium dogs, although it is rated for dogs up to 110 lbs. The clasp is very small and although I walked my 80 lb shephard/doberman mix on it, I would wouldn't trust it if he were a strong puller or lunger. That being said, it held up well enough on our walk and was very easy to use. It provided just enough tactical feedback that my dog could feel when he was walking nicely and when he was pulling too hard.

The pros: It's cheap, and came with a doggie bag dispenser. It's not too big to be unwieldy and easy to use. The length gave my long legged pooch some extra freedom while keeping him under control. The tape is easier to grab than a cord.

The cons: It's cheaply made, and feels flimsy. The rewind mechanism is not very strong and you might have to "reel" in the line by hand a little when fully extended. This should only be used with a dog that ALREADY has nice leash manners.

Have tried many of the retractable leash brands for my dog Austin. He tends to be a surprise puller whenever he sees an animal and we ran through a lot of leashes as a result. This leash has been the best of all we have tried. Have used it in all seasons and it works flawlessly. Was starting to get a bit of fray on the leash after 4+ years but only reason I bought a new one is to make sure we always have a good retractable leash.

I've been looking for a quality durable leash for my dog, and this one is perfect! : )
My dog is a medium-large (~30 lbs) Jindo (South Korean breed), and anyone who's taken care of one knows how strong-willed and excited they can be especially when they go on walks. I just tested the leash on her today, so here were some things I loved about the leash!

1. The nylon tape leash definitely feels super sturdy, and I can't imagine it ever snapping even while walking her. My old leash is actually a little worn out and appears to be tearing a bit, so the nylon material is definitely a big + for me!

2.The frame is also sturdy (not flimsy plastic), and the grip felt comfortable in my hand (even as she occasionally jerked my arm around to smell the grass). The button was also very smooth, intuitive, and responded quickly, which came in handy when I had to quickly adjust the length of the leash when say going through the park and passing by running children or other walkers.

3. The dog waste dispenser!! I love this little feature! Holding a bundle of plastic bags in my only other free hand is not my most favorite way to enjoy a walk with my already hyper dog, but I don't have to worry about that anymore because they're attached to my leash! ^^

Walking the dog

I have a 25 lbs. Rat/Jack Russell Terrier mix. She is quite an active and strong little girl. I needed a retractable yet strong, durable and nice looking leash that could withhold her heavy pulling and allow me flexibility in line retraction. The retraction button is a simple push button whereas other company's have buttons requiring you to push and lock a certain way. I love the simplicity of the button. I also like the reflection stitches on the leash itself. Keep in mind, my leash is the large one for up to 100 lbs. Dog therefore the casing is a bit on the heavy side. To sum it all up...I am pleased with my purchase and the very quick delivery.
