Mighty Paw Retractable Leash 2.0 vs FIDA AutoBrake Dog Leash

The FIDA AutoBrake is the safer pick for most owners, especially anyone with a dog that lunges or pulls. Its seatbelt-style brake engages on its own, and 288 ratings at 4.8 out of 5 is a much deeper track record than the Mighty Paw's 45 ratings at 4.5. The Mighty Paw Retractable Leash 2.0 is the better fit for calm small dogs that stay close, and it offers two tape widths and a higher weight rating. Both use 16 ft nylon tape, but owners of the Mighty Paw report the lock jamming and the tape snapping under a hard pull.

• Choose the Mighty Paw Retractable Leash 2.0 if you have a small, calm dog that walks close and you want a lite ⅜" tape option with reflective tape and a D-ring for bags.
• Choose the FIDA AutoBrake if your dog pulls or lunges and you want a brake that engages without you reaching for a button.
