Flexi Durabelt Retractable Belt Dog Leash, Small/Medium, 16-Feet Long, Supports up to 44-Pound, Black


Very good leash but you might find a slight annoyance with the lock
This is my second Flexi leash. The first one was a slightly larger black Flexi belt leash (Medium/Large version that supports up to 72lbs). This old one started to smell quite bad after 2+ years of use (even after quite a bit of washing/cleaning), so while this leash is still working, I decided to buy a new one.

Pros:
- Durable belt and in my opinion, simply better than the retractable string leashes. On my old black leash, my nephew accidentally cut part of the belt with scissors trying to untangle it (so that he wouldn't get into trouble) but even though there's a slight slit in the belt, it's still working just fine.
- Case is durable as well - I've already dropped the leash a few times and it just has a few scratches and working very well. I once got a freebie retractable string/cord leash and it broke very quickly.
- 16 feet is plenty long for my dog who loves to sniff around. It gives him the freedom to roam but I don't have to worry about him running...
Just works perfect
No cons, it works great, very smooth retraction, grip is good. It feels very light. What more can I say...
Big improvement over the cord retractable leash
This is a much better leash than the retractable leashes with the cord. This is all leash, easier on the dog's legs if tangled.

It's a very sturdy leash. If using it on a small dog though, it would be better if the dog was in a harness rather than a collar. If your dog likes to run ahead, the mechanism has quite a strong pull and for a small dog I think it's a bit too much for a collar, especially if the dog has tracheal problems as mine does. Hopefully it will loosen up over time.

This is so well made I'm sure it will last a lifetime.
