Flexi New Classic Cord Black Retractable Dog Cat Lead Extra Small 8kg - 3M

I have been using these Flexi leashes for three decades and they are great. They are retractable so they never get tangled up with your dog and they allow your dog to explore a circular area with a diameter of 52 feet. The thumb lock lets you lock the leash at any length and the lock is secure-- that is, if you have a big dog and have to forcefully pull them away from something like another dog, the locking mechanism does not slip at all. You can set the lock to stay engaged or momentarily lock the leash which is a great option. I recommend that "tape" version versus the "chord" version. The latter can easily burn your leg if your dog runs after something and the chord is against your skin. This happened a couple times over the years. I switched to the tape version and have never had an issue since.

Pros:* Comfortable grip* Very durable* Reliable retractability* Locking mechanism is reliableCons:*Bulky and heavier than other retractable leashes. This is necessary for restraining larger dogs. This may be uncomfortable for weaker or older individuals.My 65lbs Golden Retriever broke 2 other retractable leashes while going after squirrels. I switched to this leash and it performs wonderfully.

The media could not be loaded. We have a very strong 75lb Labradoodle who is very well trained, but really likes to run around us while we walk in the park and also still has yet to master his self control when it comes to restraint when encountering other dogs on walks. I own 3 different kinds of leashes and this is definitely my favorite for walking! Here's what I love about it:-HEAVY DUTY: This thing is legit. We put it to the test on Halloween night when we took our dog out with our son trick or treating. A lot of dogs were out that night, including our dog's "girlfriend" who lives down the street who is also a Labradoodle. Whenever our boy sees her he goes nuts and bolts for her. He nearly tore my husbands rotator cuff but this leash held strong! And then when they started wrestling each other in a neighbors yard and got all tangled up, the tape was easy to untangle and slipped right back inside no problem! This is a well made product that has definitely earned it's big dog title!-LONG: I'm so glad we opted for the extra long 26' length as opposed to the more common 13' length. Our big boy is an autism therapy dog and he needs a lot of exercise. I love that he can follow his nose around and then run and catch up as we walk around the park. This is great for big dogs who love to run and need a lot of exercise!-COMFORTABLE AND EASY TO USE: This is a very comfortable leash and very easy to use. It's so easy that our autistic 5 year old can hold it no problem! I can wear winter gloves while walking him, which in our climate is a must, and have no trouble holding it or operating the break.My only complaint so far is that the collar/harness clip is squeaky while walking. I plan to oil it so it doesn't squeak but my dog is constantly looking around for birds because it kinda sounds like chirping. A little annoying but hardly worth knocking off a star. So far I'm really thrilled with this leash. I did NOT receive this for free or at a discount. I paid full price! Hope this helps!

Very well made extendable leash, but we only use it in dry conditions. We have the tape version, and I am weary about winding up a wet tape into the housing. There has to be metal parts in there, primarily a metal spring that winds the tape. If you do get the tape version or rope version wet, I would extend the leash when you get it home to dry it out. Cheers

They work great for my 2 Siberian Husky sisters, particularly in large open areas. Love the extra length for more freedom to run in open areas. My previous XL size lasted 8 years and were great, but about 6 feet shorter then the current ones at 30 feet long. Florescent leashes are better so others can avoid getting caught by a leash while dogs are playing, and possible leash burns when wearing shorts! Nice grip & sturdy handles.

Item was ok, just not long enough for me and my cat.

I purchased the 26 foot Flexi Classic Retractable Leash for our 1 year old Yorkie. Our other dog is uses an electric fence, but the property is too large for this little one to find trouble. The leash is nice and long so she can burn off energy and run while we are in the yard.We have owned this for a few months now and it’s been awesome! We have had no issues at all. Granted, she is a small dog, but we use this several times a day.So far, it’s a win-win in our house! Anytime she can run is a good thing.

I have three large dogs, they are between 55 and 75 lbs. When I walk them all at once, I put the largest on one of these leashes and the lighter two on a dual lead attached to one of these leases. The original version was an 8 meter version those leashes lasted nearly a decade of these conditions. The 10 meter leashes are replacements. I have kept the original 8s as a backup. Reason for replacing the 8s, the sides of the tape wore down allowing the tape to fold over on itself and prematurely halting a complete retraction of the leash. After nearly a decade of use they still function. Good engineering, durable components === VALUE VALUE VALUE! Well done Flexi!
