| Adjustable Length Leashes What would you think about an adjustable leash -- one that would adjust from the standard 6' length down to about 3 1/2'. I am considering replacing the leash that I am currently making with adjustable ones and wanted to get some feedback before I made that switch. Any input would be appreicated. ADMIN -- THANK YOU FOR THIS FORUM! What a GREAT way for us to get "helpful hints" regarding our products! |

| adjustable leashes Well, I think they are great...in a park or safe open space. Be very careful when there could be a dangerous situation for your little one and you need to pull him out of harm's way! Otherwise, it's great for games of fetch and exercise! Good luck! (Sorry, I'm bit of a paranoid Yorkie Mommy. I've lost 2 yorkies(as a child) to hit-and-run!)

| I like short leashes myself. I wouldn't want one that's over 4' long since I like my dogs to be at my side when walking and not scouting out up front and back and forth. I do like a really good swivel on the leash so it doesn't end up looking like a cork-screw. |

| I have an adjustable leash like what you're describing and I love it for traveling. I can keep him very close and predictable in new places and sitches and let it out when we are in our familer stomping grounds. |

| I think that would be great! I always have used a retractable because I'm short, so regular leashes have always been too long for me to comfortably use.

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Oh Cindy, I seriously would LOVE this!! It is actually so weird that I stumbled upon this thread because I was thinking of this JUST YESTERDAY while I was walking the babies. I do use the retractable leashes - but not around here when I take the babies for a walk around the neighborhood - since we are on the sidewalks and all...I am just scared that they could get too close to the street. Anyway, since my babies are small (Tate especially!) I would really like having the option of shortening the leash so that it doesn't hang down so much as I have nearly almost tripped on the leashes before Not referring to YOUR leashes specifically, but just all leashes in general. I really, really would love this girl! If you decided to make one to try out - please do post a pic!!

| I think it's a great idea. I saw a short leash advertised online yesterday to be used when walking in traffic. If you have an adjustable, you only need to carry one leash. When I'm getting out of the car, in NYC traffic, with bags, my handbag and Max, a short leash would be wonderful!
