Thank you. I always hated these leashes now I understand why.

Thanks so much. Very informative!

I feel guilty about keeping my high energy Aussie in the house. I feel the need to give her some freedom when out on a walk
Chichi
rather take her to a park instead of leaving her off-leash on a walk👍
Trina Schmidt
Agreed! I actually use this with my malamute in a two way approach. Locked and loose with heel command and then our break command I let him go loose and he can pull (which is what his breed is supposed to do!). My dog needs to run (we walk in a large open cemetery) and off leash areas are a no go for us

Walked my friends dog with this leash once she told me to shorten it when a car came I couldn’t do it in time luckily I grabbed it so stopped her from running into the road
Don’t know how people think they’re good for walking I’ve a lot of cases where a dog clearly has no control

Where I live those leash are forbidden by law (over 400$ fine), but we are also obliged to use an harness and not a simple collar for dogs of 40 pounds and more.

I am glad I don’t live where you do. A retractable leash does have a time and purpose. Folks need to be smarter than a dog to train a dog.

I hate retractable leads, the amount of times dogs have ran onto the road in front of me with them!

My 70 lb pup is a crazy puller. I ended up going back to a Halti. She doesn’t like it, but she’s much better behaved on our walks.

I also got a major cut across my shin from the leash cord when my Jack Russell decided to chase something. That was the day I got rid of the retractable leash. 😩

Never make snow angels in a dog park 😀

Well I hope I can retrain my dog. He’s a year in a half. No wonder why I was having problems ugh
Alison Hamm
I will never use a retractable leash on my young dog. Way too dangerous for both of us! Thanks for the video. One of these days I will make the move to buy the life skills course.
