Primal Pet Gear Dog Leash 8ft Long - Black - Traffic Padded Two Handle - Heavy Duty - Double Handles Lead for Control Safety Training - Leashes for Large Dogs or Medium Dogs - Dual Handles Leads

I can say enough about this lead for dogs. it's one of the best we've used. We have 2 English labs and this lead is excellent. Gives enough length, en ought control with a padded handle and a control handle too (closer to clip: shorter length). Durnable, washable, not too heavy and doesnt seem to tangle up under their legs. A great lead (I was here to reorder 2 more to have on hand). Just that good. Ours are years old and still look new even after nearly daily use. (including in water, rain, ocean, sand, dirt....)

First, getting a few emails from the seller asking how we are liking it was really nice! I live off of reviews, so here is mine..... We LOVE the leash. We have about 5 hanging up and I guess it really is a matter of which one fits right. We have a Doubledoodle (Goldendoodle/Labradoodle mix) and she is a big girl, but with her hair off now she is smaller and has much more agility with all her fluff, plus she is only 1 and still growing and still growing out of her puppy ways! We have a few of the standard leashes which I guess are about 5 feet. We live on the 3rd story so we are constantly all day walking up and down the stairs with her, with that alone we needed more slack on the leash. She will stop at each landing, but me being shorter than my boyfriend I just couldn't handle that feeling like she was going to tug even while doing the right thing. So this leash has helped immensely in solving this problem. It also allows us the proper amount of space. The retractable leashes are the most dangerous things in my mind. I had 2 situations with them that didn't prove to be well. One, Molly ran as a baby to someone who is handicapped and would have knocked her over, the leash wouldn't retract, I grabbed it and it burnt my skin right off. Second time again it just wouldn't lock and retract and we were in a roadway. So we knew we needed a good, durable, no puppy chew through, leash that would give a huge dog enough room to roam, but also know when she needs to be at our side. My FAVORITE part of this leash hands down is the handles. First that they are both padded soooo nicely! I hold on to them for dear life (haha) because of how big Molly is, they are my safety to keep her safe from any car or anything running our way (Molly has been attacked by a dog out of no where so it is important to me to feel like I have a good grip on her). And my part of my favorite is the short strap. When someone is coming out of their door when we are going down the stairs or when we are on the street or coming by a non-friendly dog, it is SO great to just pull up the first strap and hold on rather then raveling the leash around my wrist a million times or grabbing it in a way that just slips out. On top of everything else mentioned, it's super durable, thick, my dog will turn and chew when she gets really playful but nothing the leash can't handle! It's hands down the best leash!!! My only recommendation would be that if you have a smaller dog than the little pony we have, I would get the 5-6 ft' one which would give plenty of room. The 8 ft is perfect for large dogs wanting/needing that extra room!

Let me begin this review by stating customer service today is usually non existent. Well not with this company. John, the owner I presume, not only responded to my email immediately, he actually addressed my idea and concern. This is my opinion makes this a five star product for customer service alone. Now onto the leash. The leash itself is great. I like the overall length being 8 feet. This is great for taking a walk or just allowing your dog a little extra distance. I also like the short handle near the top to draw your dog close should cicumstances dictate. The leash has a good comfort feel in your hand due to the padding. Bottom line I would recommend this leash. Now before I conclude let me say this. The lobster clasp in my opinion is not the best, I prefer a more heavy duty clasp. However having made this statement let me explain further. I spoke to John ( again presumably the owner) he assured me the quality is in place for the lobster clasp and it is in fact up to standard. I will say I have experienced no issues with the leash or the clasp. I have a 90 pound pit bull who is solid as a brick wall. So if any other consumers need a reference point/dog here is mine to go off of. Bottom line I still give this leash five stars. Based on customer service being outstanding, the fact the company seeks consumer feedback and actually appears to care what the consumer has to say. In addition the leash itself is very nice and also carries a one year guarantee. That was one reason I also purchased it. In the end I do recommend purchasing this leash. If you are bit more normal, or not as specific as me then I assure you this leash is great. Again, I have had no issues with the leash, it's just more or a personal preference in my book.

Great leash. Way to grip, comfortable in long leash style or if you have to grab the smaller loop to hold them close. Well made, light weight yet strong enough that I am not concerned her going to get away. Love the reflector stripe on the leash.

This is the second one of these eight foot double-handle leashes I have purchased and the moment I opened it I knew there was a difference. The first one I purchased in 2017 was of a thicker, material, stitched together very well and is still going strong. It looks nearly like it did when purchased, it shows little signs of wear and no signs of fraying anywhere and has been used nearly every day since it was purchased. This second purchase is a still a good leash and seems sturdy and the extra handle makes it easier to hold my Great Dane puppy closer to my body when needed. It is just not made with the same material as the first purchase. I was just a bit disappointed that for around the same price, the leash made now, in my opinion, is a lower quality item. Only time will tell if it holds up like the one I purchased five years ago. In the photos the one on the left is the older item. The newer one, on the right, has different stitching which are for looks, not for function like the one on the left. The handle padding appears and feels to be nearly the same and the same hardware was used. Both have the Primal Pet Gear logo sewed on. If this is your first purchase of the item you should find it satisfactory but if it is a subsequent purchase of this item you will notice the quality difference. Hope this helps!

Leash is a little longer than I need, but it's handy to hold the main handle in one hand, and the short handle in the other to keep my dog at my side when needed, for example, when we are approaching a person on the path or we are crossing a road.

Good quality product

The cushioned handles are extremely comfortable. The second handle offers some versatility. The length is just right. It provides enough freedom to the dog while still being under complete control. Excellent quality and value. 10/10. For additional context, I have a 100lbs Akita, 60lbs bully and a 10lbs miniature dachshund. This leash works great for my dogs and I.

Very happy with item

It works great! I really appreciate the double handles for short leash and long leash. - Labrador owner
