Review: Trustworthy and Comfortable - This was my second purchase of the same model. The medium still works well a year later after daily use with a 40lb, 3y/o mixed breed. The retractor has begun to fail after 12 months, which is a similar pattern to the first one I bought, but it has been reliable up to this point. It is also very comfortable to hold, even on half-day outings. Actually, I still have the first one, which is solid despite weak and often ineffectual retraction efforts, just in case I needed an emergency backup. She sometimes tries to carry the end in a cute message for me to hurry up (I use the extension) in her mouth, but it shows no wear. She does not try to chew it, but her teeth are in contact at times and I was worried about fraying. She sometimes walks at the end of the leash when she is in a loose leash mode, occasionally pulling. We are working on that! When using the first one of the two, she would run it out often when still new to us (~1y/o 30#), but that has diminished to almost never with training. Still, the first one also last a year even with that abuse. I will buy a third because the first two kept her safe for two years now and so I trust them. We travel often in a travel trailer and leash laws prevail, having physical backup to oral commands has been reassuring to both me and many around me. Up until it has begin to fail (the last 2' do not retract now), it operated seamlessly and reliable in all kinds of weather for about the same amount of time. I have used a large carabiner to attack a pouch of bags to the narrowest part of the handle and that has been working for over a year. One extension (which as included) also lasted as long as the leash, as did the snap hooks on the ends, and with no failures. I am giving 5 stars because of the continuous reliability in a critical mission. Yes, I wish it lasted two years or five, but this is the only thing I have found to wish was improve and that is not worth subtracting a star. At this point, I am simply considering the leash to be an excellent and proven tool that simply needs annual replacement.
Review: Easy control. - This was purchased for a 15- 20 lb puppy. It worked great. Just the right size of leash and the handle was very comfortable. It retracted well and held a position when you locked it in. I did by mistake one time grab a hold of the leash when she was running and the material did lightly slice my fingers. So you do have to be careful with that action. The only thing that others may choose to have on their leash is some way to connect a "poop bag". I would highly recommend this leash and buy it again if needed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone’s dog snapped this leash?**
A: Within a month. I bought the one rated for up to 110lbs. My 70lb lab saw a feral cat and attempted to chase it. Leash was already about 80% extended and before I could even react, she ran out the remaining length. When the end of the lead arrived, the entire reel mechanism inside snapped and was jerked halfway out of the handle. Gave me enough time to grab the lead with my other hand and corral my dog, but the handle proceeded to just fall apart in my hand, completely ruined. I was less than thrilled when the product arrived, as it felt much less substantial/tough than my prior leash from Flexi that had lasted for 5+ years that I had bought at Petsmart (and only had to replace because we lost it). Disappointed. Went back to a Flexi, it's been great.

**Q: why the blue and the white and orange one has a 2-year protection plan but not the white one What's the different?**
A: Hello! The protection plans are not offered by us, it is a third-party who we are not affiliated with and we recommend you do not purchase any additional insurance or warranty. Our leashes have a 1-Year warranty directly through us. Thank you.

**Q: I have 90 lbs mastiff mix. will this leash be able to handle her? is the hook strongly attached to the leash? tia**
A: Hi, thanks for your question! The Large sized leash will be suitable for your strong 90 lb Mastiff mix. If you have any issues with the leash or if your dog breaks it because of pull, please get in touch and we will refund your leash.

**Q: Do you have extra small size? The small one has a lot tension and my dog won’t run around freely since she felt the lease tension. Thanks!**
A: Hello, we now offer an Extra Small leash - the "Tiny" TUG leash which is pocket sized! A link to it is below:

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Held up to two male GSD’s
*by 1***T on July 31, 2026*

So far so good, alittle scary to use but that was just me being worried. We bought two and they did great with our German Shepherd Dogs. Both males. Great product for the money.
