This was my first question on Yorkietalk, I'm glad I took everyone's advise and got one, I love it. They take some learning to get use to the button and how to reel them in fast yet safely, but now it's second nature. We do more path walking than street walking and they veer off the path to check out a tree and I can stay on the path and I couldn't do this with a regular leash. You can lock it at any length you want, so I don't know why people think that a regular leash is better, you can use it as a regular leash. I think she's right with a large untrained dog that you can't handle, it probably isn't very safe and also you should check the cord regularly, and if it gets wet dry it out before you retract it. |
