- Is this leash safe for a dog that pulls?
- Not really. Retractable leashes give a hard-pulling dog momentum, and the brake can slip. A fixed leash gives more control for strong pullers.
- What size dog is it for?
- It is rated for dogs up to 65 lbs, so it fits most medium breeds. Very small dogs may find the housing bulky, and giant breeds exceed the rating.
- How long is the leash?
- The tape extends to 16 ft, which is longer than most standard retractables and gives a medium dog room to roam.
- Can I lock it at a set length?
- Yes. The button locks the tape at a chosen length, and pressing it again brakes the tape.
- Is it good for walks in town?
- It is better on open ground. On sidewalks and near roads the long tape and slipping brake make a fixed leash the safer choice.
- Does it work in rain?
- Light rain is fine, but wet tape should be extended and dried before retracting, or it can jam and rust inside the housing.
