I have a couple of Flexi leashes, the ribbon type, that I only use for the beach, and the other, a cord type, that is only used for home to take Jax out for potty.
I agree with the other posts, on how they can be dangerous. Go to
www.ConsumerReports.org and type in
retractable leashes. There, you should find a link that says
Retractable leashes pose problems for people and their pets. Please read the entire article and Flexi warning label at the end.
If you decide to get one, just be careful. You have more control with a regular leash than you would with a retractable one.
