Retractable Lead for Large Dogs

My greyhound is a menace to anything cheaply made. The brake button locks solid with one thumb press. Better for a strong dog than the cord versions that snap. Weight sits right in the hand, not front heavy.

Tape rewinds fast enough to keep up when he doubles back toward me. Great for the open field where he can range out and come back. This solved a problem I'd been ignoring.

Used it every morning since spring and the spring tension is unchanged. Housing has not cracked after being dropped on the driveway a few times.

Retracts fully every time, no slack left hanging. Clip is a heavy swivel snap that has never opened on its own. The bag hook is small and only fits one roll. Docking one star for that.

We travel with Maple most weekends so this gets real use. Works fine in the rain, the tape dries out on the hook by the door.

There is a small hook on the handle for a poop bag roll. Better for a strong dog than the cord versions that snap. Retracts fully every time, no slack left hanging. I'd tell a friend to get it.

Bought it after the vet visit that made me rethink our routine. Flat tape does not cut into your hand the way thin cord does. The tape edge is bound so it does not fray at the clip.

Ordered the day after our old one cracked down the middle. Lock switch stays down until you release it, no holding required.

Rated for a big dog and my eighty pounder cannot yank it out of my grip. Weight sits right in the hand, not front heavy. You lose fine control at full extension. Still a four from me.

Honestly bought it for me more than for Bodie. It stopped the tangle problem we had with a long line.

Mixed feelings on this one. Great for the open field where he can range out and come back. Tape can still burn if you grab it while it is running out. Retractables are not for crowded sidewalks, this one included.
