Flexi Classic Nylon Tape Retractable Dog Leash

I have a 7 month old 31lb dog. She does pull on her leash. While on a walk around the park the leash just snapped. Lucikly she stayed with me and I was able to get her home with the use of treats. This could have been really bad if she ran out into the parking lot. I ordered this leash several months ago and waiting until my dog was older before trying it. Thank goodness because if she were much younger she would have just run and not listened to my recall.

I ordered three of these leashes, each a different color because I walk three dogs at once. The color coding of the plastic handles to my dogs makes it easier to untangle leashes and keep track of who is connected to which. It would be a whole lot easier if the ribbon color corresponded to the handle color ... at least approximately. With all of them having black ribbon, it can become a tangled birds nest in the blink of an eye. But I do like the product.

This leash was significantly sturdier than another smaller flexi leash that I had. I loved how it untangles itself every time I retract it. The only annoying thing for me (I'm 118 lbs and don't work out), is that it's a bit heavy for me sometimes and I get tired of holding it. My husband loves this though and loves that our pup can explore further than the typical 16 ft leashes

My daughter bought a retractable leash from a local pet store for our 65# female Dobie but it’s seemed to have lost its tension and would not retract as quickly as I needed it to. We use this same brand for our 85# male Dobie and it has been great so I wanted to go with the same brand bc it has held up so well. As with our other Flexi leash this one has been great (personal preference) I like the location of locking button it’s similar to our other one and it has a quick recoil as well.

Received this leash today (Thursday, October 14). Opened the package and immediately put it to use. Right away I notices that about 12-13 feet into the 16 feet of the retractable leash, there is/was a "fray" in the nylon. This is a brand new, just out of the package/box leash. It should not have a frayed section to the nylon. I would like to return for a replacement ... I'll pursue that if it is an option.

Works fine for my 45lb dog. She's gone after squirrels and it has been able to take the sudden tug as it is suddenly maxed out. The only minor complaint I have is that when the lock is engaged, the internal mechanism jiggles around inside, which is just feels a little weird.

I've used Flexi leashes for literally decades, with four different dogs between mine and my family's, ranging from 10 lbs to 125 lbs. They are the only leashes I like because they prevent the dog from getting tripped up, are comfortable in my hand, and I can bring the dog closer to me quickly with just one hand. Flexi has reliable comfort and quality (other brands/knock-offs I've tried have had uncomfortable ridges in the grip and one pulled off the spool). I'm sure there are some dogs and owners for whom retractable leashes aren't the best fit but, for most, it seems unnecessarily difficult to use anything else!

You may initially need to practice the "brake, pull back your arm to bring the dog closer, release brake and move arm forward" maneuver to have the best control but it quickly becomes second-nature. These leashes are great for walking one dog and essential when walking two at the same time (two leashes, one in each hand). I'm still using a Flexi Standard3 I've had for many years with my 100 lb shepherd and just bought the large Classic for our new dog. Both feel similarly comfortable, easy to brake and release, and the newest one has the slot for optional attachments that's been a really nice upgrade (I tricked it out with the detachable box and also the velcro side light - highly recommend both!). … more

None better very nice leash for my buddy, woody,it is well made n it's so nice to let him out n reel him back in when I have to.the only thing I don't like about chewy is when u want something that's not too much they zonk u with shipping and handling fees

This is a sturdy leash, great for folks with larger hands -- not one for those with petite hands or kiddo hands. My dog is a major puller, and I feel secure using this leash. Remember, though, that this leash gives a wide berth to the dogs for walks. If near roads, retract the leash and lock it in for no more than 6 feet. Dogs can get hit by a car with any leash if not kept to the curb on the road.

Leash is starting to fray at the end where it hooks to dogs collar after one month of use. I have a 10 lb Yorkie so no reason for it to come apart now or ever. Chewy is refunding.
