| clip on leash keeps coming undone I have purchased 3 leashes (retractable) and the clips on them keep coming undone off the harness. He has almost escaped 3 times. I don't know why they are doing this. I am so worried I am afraid to take him for a walk. I keep checking the clip every 5 minutes. It always seems to be done up securely & then boom it is opened. I am thinking of using crazy glue to glue the stupid thing shut right on the harness & then I will always have to remove his harness & not be able to just unclip the leash. anyone else every have this problem? Thank goodness if I yell "stay" he stops right in his tracks, but I don't know if he will if he sees a squirrel or something to chase! |

| Wow! I've always used them and never had that happen and we walk a lot! I just buy mine at Wal-Mart, too. In fact, my last one lasted for nearly 4 years before it wouldn't retract anymore. I just recently went to get one just like it. We love it.

| what kind of clip is it? can you use a tooth pick to jam in the clip near the button so it cannot open unless you remove the tooth pick ? im sure there are solutions but maybe walk on a regular leach until you figure it out

| If that is happening to you, I would return the leash to the store and tell them what happened. I would go buy another one somewhere. As I said, that has never, ever happened to me, but if it did, I wouldn't use that particular leash again. It is apparently defective.
