Retractable Dog Leash By Kakoa on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
We have been using the same Flexi retractable leash for three years now and have never had a problem with it. It has been through all kinda of rough times and abuse too! Our dog used to pull on it hard when he was getting used to a leash, but after a few months he never pulled hard again.
Duke is used to the distance that the leash goes out now. He knows how far ahead and how far behind he can be before it tugs. He has pulled hard on it quite a few times when he wants to chase something. The leash has never failed or broken even through all the sudden yanks.
I love this leash because it is very easy on my hand and curved for comfort. It has a button on the top where my thumb rests that will stop the leash at the distance it is currently at. This is great for when I need to keep Duke close to me. The retractable aspect is great because it doesn't have excess line that will get caught up on things while we walk. I have even used it as a tie-up leash when we go camping. He can still move around when I extend and lock it all the way out.
I would suggest any pet owner get one of these leashes. For the comfort and safety of both you and your pet.

We had a retractable leash until my sister babysat our dog. She returned everything from the bowls to the stuffed chew toy but not the leash. I asked her for it back and she said they "lost" it. They are wonderful.
We had one of these, but lost it! We just adopted a new dog and will be getting this leash!
This looks like a nice & safe leash-I love the red color!
I really like retractable leashes. Now with two dogs that are constantly exploring, they just don't work very well for us.
I don't have a dog, but if I ever get one, I'll definitely pick up one of these retractable leashes.
We had these when I had my German shepherds. They were an awesome training tool and helped rein in an aggressive guard dog when he wanted to go after something:)
I really need to get these for my dogs. Our regular leases are way too short.
We have a retractable leash as well, I like it when we're hiking. We also had a dog named Duke too!
