Carhartt Dog 6 Foot Shock Absorbing Control Leash - Brown

I love this leash. It has a padded handle; it is way more reflective than similar leashes; the shock absorbing feature is perfect for my dog: she is an 88 pound Rottweiler cross who will stop suddenly to sniff something while I'm still walking, so now I get a warning by feeling increasing pressure rather than my arm getting pulled suddenly; it has another handle built in ahead of the shock absorber for when I need to keep my dog close by; and the best feature is the trigger claw clasp: it doesn't cut my thumb like so many other clasps with a slide that exposes very sharp edges on the shank. The only improvement that I would suggest would be to add a tab that I could insert into a seatbelt buckle in the car.

My service dog owns a lg variety of leashes and since this one was purchased for her I never reach for a different one. The convenience and quality are definitely above many other brands. Anyone complaining about their dog chewing through the leash with teeth made to kill and crunch bones seriously need to access their poor choice for buying a product not specifically made and advertised as being for challenging chewers. Very effective positive behavior correcting training tutorials are available and work amazingly well. Our fur buddies need and deserve the effort for their safety! No regular use product of any brand should receive negative comments or to be scored lower on reviews based on an outlier behavior from a pet. That isn't, by any standard, a flaw in the design, appearance, or construction. A request to design and produce a chain leash with their quality hold loops & metal work with other amenities if workable, would be perfect though. A few sizes and color options of those would definitely be a positive & attractive addition to the product line ?

I love this leash! I’m able to clip it and then throw it over my head and wear it like a crossbody bag and then I have more control when we’re staying in one spot. My dog is on the smaller side and I’m only 5’1” so it works that way for us but maybe not for other people. Shock absorbing is really helping him learn not to pull as much because he can feel the tension without being instantly stopped and he’s started to correct himself more, again it works for me and my dog but might not for others. It’s very versatile and you can figure out how to use it for you and your pup. We love it!
