Bungee Dog Lead - Shock Absorbing Leash that Softens Pulls & Stops – Neoprene Padded Loop & Traffic Handles for Extra Comfort - Reflective for Safer Night Walking

I am using this together with Sweetie Dog Lead Splitter and it works great. And the addition of traffic control handle is brilliant - it is in a perfect spot to securely control your dogs, but not too short to walk over them. I was a user of 2 retractable leads for 3 years and I did not know how much more pleasant lead-on walks can be. No more untangling every few minutes, perfect control of the dogs in sudden occurrences (you know: cats, dogs, seagull, flying leaf...), no more running after the dog, trying to retract the lead, no more jumping around untangling myself. It takes a moment to get used to bungees as you feel (falsely) that you lose control, while it's stretching, but after few walks it is easy to appreciate lack of sudden pulls and strains on your shoulder and arm, especially when you had a seriously torn muscle just a year ago. First time ever I also can have BOTH my hands free during the walk, just having lead hanged safely on my wrist. I also have a great fun watching my 2 dogs (6kg and 7kg) how they learn to walk in harmony. The length is perfect to keep controlling your dogs, but to also allow them to have fair amount of freedom to explore independently. It's comfortable and great quality.

Can I just say I love this lead! My puppy loves to pull me (i have arthritis in my shoulder) and I would be in so much pain. It was making walking her a chore.Now my puppy can enjoy her walk with little pulling, I can enjoy it . The lead is excellent it’s comfortable, strong, I’ve got the option of her going on a short or long lead without any issues

Can’t fault it as an item, it’s a good length, the comfy handles are really, really comfy, nice and soft in the hand, which in crummy weather can be a nice bit of comfort, especially as I my skin always gets dry and cracked this time of year. The shorter control handle is really useful, allowing easier traffic crossing when we need it, more control walking the puppy past people and dogs, or even if she’s having a bit of a tantrum, allowing us to keep her close by and safe. Colour is fine, nicely visible at night, and it’s sturdy, good thickness, probably something the puppy can’t get through, but time will tell. As to its effect…it’s a bit mixed, and I don’t say that as a criticism of the item, necessarily. It has helped in some ways, my shoulder and arm aren’t as sore from any sudden movements she makes, and as I said above, the control handle has been useful in a lot of ways. When puppy is more responsive the slight flex of pressure rather than the firmer tug of a regular lead can be a more positive experience for her. However, I’m sure I’m not the only one who knows, it can also have its own downsides, and can’t replace training to reduce the behaviours. For our puppy that flexible pressure if she’s pulling or stopped can actually work against us. If she’s really locked onto something that has her attention the stretch is not firm enough of a cue for her, or if she’s pulling on a walk, the stretchiness she can pull against actually encourages her to pull harder, like it’s a game, and I’ve noticed if we use it for a whole walk or several, her pulling can actually get worse, even on other leads. As it’s also a more standard length, which means it’s not ideal for an explorer walk, but that stretchiness may send mixed signals to the dog as they think they can pull further. This is of course on us the owners to work and train on, and not a criticism of the ite. The actual leash is well made, good quality and I’m happy I bought it. Right now I’m using it as one of two leashes, for the control and as we improve her conduct on walks, and the security of being able to keep her closer on walks where we need to. That said, the length, it’s good but also long enough, with the stretch, that your dog can still get a good start to try and run or lunge, then that extra bit from the stretch so be very mindful of that. But for any newer dog owners or those who may have been advised to buy something simple, it is worth a purchase, but it is a Tool, one of many, not a Solution, to any walk issues. In some ways may work against what you’re trying to do, so continue any and all training work, don’t make it a primary leash until you are absolutely certain of your puppy/dog behaviour.

I’ve only used it on one short walk so far but I loved it! Both handles are super comfy, the clip is easy to use. I didn’t get whiplash each time she stopped to sniff and I kept walking 😅 The ‘traffic’ handle helped me feel I had good control of her, even when she was reactive 👍 Obviously I can’t say anything for the longevity of the lead yet.

I bought this thinking I'd give it a try since my dog does pull. I'm so glad I did! It took her a couple of walks to get used to the design but now she responds beautifully to the slight stretch and modifies her walking to not pull. The leash is well made and comfortable to grip. The length took me a couple of walks to get used to after using a retractable for so long but I wouldn't go back to the retractable.

I'm so glad I purchased this bungee lead. I was having difficulty walking my ever growing puppy, he's a mix staffy/akita/Rottweiler, he was pulling quite badly to the point I was concerned about taking him out. I came across this lead & thought, I e tried everything, harnesses, collars, nothing worked then I got this & I can only say how easier this lead has made my dog's life & mine. I'm now enjoying our walks instead of dreading them. He does try to pull but the lead prevents me from being suddenly pulled & he can feel when he's stretched it enough to reduce his pulling. The best purchase I've made in a long time. I've ordered another in a larger size to accommodate him as he grows.

This was much better than expected, the lead is quite substantial and more than adequate for my two dogs. I have connected mine to a splitter, so I can walk both dogs on one lead. Bungee is great and cushions any sudden stops and the extra loop is great if I want the dogs on a short lead... Well worth the money

Not long enough really

Agréable à tenir, amortie bien les chocs. Seconde poignée courte très pratique.

Onze Franse Bulldog durft nog wel eens plots van richting te veranderen of ineens vooruit te schieten, dit is heel wat aangenamer aan je handen en ledematen.

very strong and good quality

Fonctionne pas mal. J'aurais aimé une résistance encore plus instance car j'ai un boxer assez puissant. Mais il y a déjà une répartition de la force de traction.

Article conforme à la description, solide confortable pour le chien (plus d'à-coup) amortie considérablement les tractions, en plus jolie ce qui ne gâche rien. Je recommande fortement.
