I had searched for rope leashes and did not expect this to be so thin... I didn't even know they made rope leashes so thin so I didn't think to check. I think I expected it to be more like 1 inch thick; definitely can't walk my 95lb dog with this. Haven't been able to find long ones at any stores near me. Disappointing but I guess my little dogs will like it.

I gave it a 4 only be ause the hook was so big & heavy for a lightweight rope.

Great for long leash training

Nice. Serves its purpose. I just wish there was a handle on it to grab.

Hand friendly alternative to flat long lines

Thin, flat nylon leads tends to really rip up my hands so this rope long line is a great alternative. The hardware isnt super heavy dutu so I wouldn't recommend

Thin, flat nylon leads tends to really rip up my hands so this rope long line is a great alternative. The hardware isnt super heavy dutu so I wouldn't recommend it for a strong puller but it's perfect for hiking/practicing recall.
