Sturdy leash

We bought this one to replace the old Tug leash that finally wore out. It's strong enough for our 35 lb corgi, but it is light in the hand and comfortable to hold

Great length

I have a large and long dog and typical leashes are not long enough to let him walk ahead of me. He can also be a puller sometimes and this was super sturdy. Lives

sturdy and tangle-free

I just got this leash recently, and so far I love it! It's sturdy in the hand and is built so that the tape cannot twist as it's retracting. Hoping it will last

Have had this retractable leash for 3 months. The ribbon is completely shredding and getting jammed in the mechanism. Any day I expect to break. I have used retractable leashes on my 10lb dogs for years. They all eventually break but have NEVER had this in such a short period of time.

I purchased this retractable for certain occasions. Not as my everyday use. I had read it was for strong pullers. When I got it I was surprised that end hook was smaller than I imagined and compared to other items I have. I'm not sure I trust it. My dog walks fine but once in awhile gets excited and can pull strong.

It didn't appear to have a lock on it.

We were unable to find a way to lock the leash to stop it retracting. This makes it worthless to us.

The leash itself is very prone to fraying. Both of the leashes that we bought frayed. The first leash got jammed up inside because of the loose threads. The second that we bought randomly stopped retracting. There is no way of opening it up and trying to fix it. Not worth the money. Will not buy another of this brand.
