Inspect Your Leash & Collar Before Each Use
Make sure that all parts of the leash and your dog’s collar are in good condition and are not damaged, frayed, or broken.
Attaching the Leash & Safety Collar
- Always use the enclosed safety collar in addition to your dog’s collar. The safety collar prevents snap-back if the dog’s collar breaks, or if the leash disconnects from your dog’s collar.
- Attach the hook of the leash to the D-ring of your dog’s collar. Never attach it to your dog’s ID tag ring. That ring is not strong and will break.
- Make sure that the hook is fully closed and securely attached to the collar D-ring and the rings of the safety collar.
Detaching the Leash
Make sure your dog is under control. Fully retract the leash before detaching it.
Drying Instructions
If your leash gets wet, pull the cord/tape/belt out of the leash housing as far as it will go and lock the brake. Leave it to dry overnight in a place that is out of reach of children. When the cord/tape/belt is dry, carefully and slowly retract the leash to keep it under control.
Using the Leash
Always hold the leash by the handle, never by the cord/tape/belt You can also hold the hand loop with your other hand for extra control. Never tie leash around a tree, pole, or any other object.
To bring your dog nearer, follow these steps and never touch the cord/tape/belt:

- Step toward your dog and at the same time bring your arm to your side.
- Release the brake button and swing your arm towards the dog and press the brake button again.
- Repeat as needed.

About Flexi
The idea for the first Flexi leash came when Manfred Bogdahn tried to find a solution for his dog Purzel, who loved to explore.

This entrepreneurial spirit continues to lead the way with Flexi's expanding line of premium leashes that promise comfort, versatility and lasting quality.

Super strong !
By Marissab on Apr 17, 2021
I have two GSDs and I love this leash, but I thought I'd leave a review because im pretty impressed after today. I was moving a SUPER heavy queen mattress but couldn't get it up my staircase, but I noticed the leash the bottom of the stairs, so I got an idea. Hooked the leash on the bottom handle of the mattress and I pulled it up my stairs with ease. Just thought it was pretty cool how easy that went so I had to leave a review.

Tape not as sturdy as corded model
By CavalierOwner on Apr 14, 2021
My dog likes to walk himself by holding the leash in his mouth when we start out our walks. He managed to damage the tape version of the retractable leash enough that it had to be discarded after three months while the corded version that I bought over a year ago is still holding up. I'd give this a zero rating if I could. On the other hand, I'd give my corded model five stars.

excellent quality and helpful
By JK43 on Mar 17, 2021
Its a cold upstate NY winter, and this long leash has saved us! We can stand at the front door and our puppy can go do her business! It definitely has a learning curve, and she did bite it good on the first day causing a knick in the leash that I hope won't deteriorate. She isn't pulling on us anymore, nor biting it, so I think it'll be fine for her. Can't say wild biting dogs would be okay tho. I believe they should coat the 3' of lead closest to the dog with a heavy duty anti-chew coating of sorts. Otherwise its great and people I know who've got the cheap brands of retractable leashes have immediately noticed its good heft and hand-feel on this one.

small handle
By Shizam on Apr 13, 2021
This is a nice simple flexi leash. I ordered the size for a 10# dog. It's small but the part I can't figure out is why the handle is only big enough for 3 fingers to fit. I'm an average size woman. It will work but next time I would order a size up so I could hold onto the leash comfortably. Hmmmm...small dog, small person?

Flexi or nothing!
By ShBearnett on Mar 28, 2021
We've tried other brands of retractable leashes, but Flexi far out-performs them. They seldom tangle in the opening as previous leashes have or get stuck in retracted position, so it makes our dog walks smooth rather than frustrating. The only complaint is that the dachshund and the beagle are always crossing their Flexi's, but we'll live with it -- better safe than sorry in our country setting!

Very Sturdy!
By DebbieM on Apr 14, 2021
We have a Siberian Husky with a very determined streak when he's walking. This is a very durable, sturdy and well constructed leash for him. He loves chasing after rabbits and we can pull him back and even hold him in place with this one. Others we've tried he's broken and gotten loose. Not this one!

Poor Quality
By AussieMomma on Apr 12, 2021
I read a lot of reviews before I purchased this leash. Most people seem satisfied with it but I had this leash for less than 3 days when my 10 week old, 10lb mini aussie chewed right through it in less than 30 seconds. Definitely not worth the money.

Excellent retractable
By DeniseEH on Mar 1, 2021
I have been using the Flexi retractable dog leash for 20 years. My first experience came back in 2002. The leash was used for two dogs. One an active 20lb pooch (since passed away) and now for 55lb Soft Coat Wheaten Terrier. Wrigley has to be the most active dog, when he wants to run or pull, he will. I decided for his birthday he should have a new leash and decided to go with my very dependable Flexi. Love how smooth the tape moves in and out. And most important Wrigley is safe on our walks. Still have the older leash and it works great after years and years of use.

Not for puppies
By Nice on Mar 17, 2021
I bought this for my 12 week old German Shepherd puppy because he LOVES to do his business very deep in the wet morning grass. Only issue is that teething puppies will chew anything and he ended up severing the tape near the clip. If you plan to use this on a puppy, it’ll serve you well if you make knots on the base of the clip so your baby can’t eat it lol.

Smooth Retraction
By Leash on Mar 4, 2021
We highly recommend the Flexi Classic Nylon Tape Retractable Dog Leash. It works smoothly with no catches in the mechanism. We have a 10lb Maltipoo. We ordered the medium size, which fits my husband's hand better and has a thicker leash; our pup loves to chew through. Happy puppy, happy parents. We had ordered another brand that kept sticking. Chewy was very accommodating in helping us find the right leash for our needs.
