FIDA AutoBrake Dog Leash vs Kong Retractable Terrain Leash

Buy the FIDA AutoBrake if your dog is a puller in the 11-26 lb range and you want the brake to work without you thinking about it. Buy the Kong Terrain if you have a stronger or larger dog, walk at night, or want a simple manual brake you can trust. The FIDA has the bigger owner base and the cleverer mechanism; the Kong has the higher weight rating, reflective tape and a brand with a long track record in dog gear. Both use nylon tape in an ABS housing, so build quality is close.

• Choose the FIDA AutoBrake if your dog lunges or pulls suddenly and you want the leash to lock itself while you keep one hand free.
• Choose the Kong Terrain if your dog is over 26 lbs or you walk in low light and want reflective tape plus a manual brake and lock.
