I have a deaf dog that doesn’t pull. A good retractable lead is very useful for communicating with him during walks because there is always tension on the line. A quick tap on the line lock, and my dog will turn to me looking for a hand sign.
These leads are tools, and like any tool, they have risks when used improperly.
Agreed! Flexileads are great if you're dog is well trained and you're aware of your surroundings and know what you're doing.Problem is too many people don't know how to train their dogs and aren't paying attention to their surroundings. You can even use them to train the come command, sit and down command while walking. And I have a noose connecting my wrist to the handle so it can't come off my wrist.
Agreed. I love this dog trainer, but not all of those leashes are made the same. I got a Kong version and its a lot heavy duty and more like a rope and is perfect for my boy when I like to walk him by the river and let him jump in while I stand on the side while I'm in a on leash park.
Use your wrist to give that tension it’s easier on the dog if you do it correctly
What's the advantage of having a retractable lead and a deaf dog? you could very well use a flat collar and regular lead and accomplish the same thing. he's right, they're trash under any circumstance.
Then use a short leash. No excuse for these. These leashes will cut someone’s fingers or legs off. /srs
We are starting to use them for explosive detection dogs. They're great for open area searches. Way smoother than a long line. If you know how to handle a dog, it has advantages.
If you know how to “work your leash like a pro”, it doesn’t matter what kind of leash you use.
Flexi lead couple with a prong at the end, is a really strong tool to do recall with
@@yalman32
Absolutely true.
The consistent and slight tension on the line is a good stimulous to the dog in which direction to go as well.
I wouldn't use it on a very high energy, aggressive, or flight risk dog but for standard cases or young puppies, no problem from me.
Walk my big lab/rottie/pit mix on a big sturdy one of those. It enables you to easily train the loose leash. Tension and a little snatch if she goes to far without permission or some way I don't want her to go. Looseness when she's doing what she's supposed to. When I say "okay explore" she can immediately get further away and bounce around, expending more energy and doing nose work. When I shush her she slows down and let's me catch up. When I shush and say "heel" she goes back to walking right by my leg.
It. Was. Not. Easy. To. Train.
She is still only 6 months so it's not perfect yet, but if you do the work, these leashes allow more freedom for you and your dog. This way I can let her wander in the country side but still have the ability to pull her back if I need to. I love it. Lets her play but keeps her safe.
I mean, his opinion as a canine behaviorist basically was that dog fights mostly happen with that type of leash and you have no control over your dog.
I will value his opinion more than that of a random stranger
@@yalman32 I never thought of that
My dog weighs 9lbs and I only walk her on my own 5 acres of property... So yeah this works fine, and there is a brake....
Ya.. I was about to say. Ive only used those retention ones.. But ive never owned a dog over 15 pounds
@@trevordanowski7576Under 20lbs is classed as rodent
So, basically:
If you have things to offset this problem like a big property or a small dog, you can make that thing work.
Ao what youre saying is, every poont he is making has nothing to so with you ...
So yeah
Yeah, it's okay with small dogs, but with a big dog that thing will break. I used to use one but it's also really hard to control and when she pulls she takes me with her unlike a normal lead which I have control over.
If your dog is trained, it shouldn't be breaking a Flexi... I use large dog Flexi leashes on my 25 lb. terriers... I like letting them roam on leash... One command, and their at heel... Walking them on long, non retractable leads would drag the leads through loads of dog crap from owners that don't pick up after their dogs... When I walk my dogs it's for their enjoyment... to break up the monotony of their day, and for exercise... not a tool to follow me around, totally focused on me, waiting for a bit of praise or a treat reward...
Whats with all the elipses
Those dogs are small lol
I agree 100%. I give my dogs ZERO training except for the repetitive NO'S and HEY'S!! And of general commands that come naturally and develop as they grow. I have large dogs, though. I guess its iykyk kind of thing. I've had Pits and big breeds with zero problems.
Flexi leashes are great for an off leash trained dog, or an acreage. The misunderstanding I think people have is why these are pretty terrible for urban walking in crowded areas. You can’t reel it in like a normal leash so control is limited. If you have an acre of land and just one dog these are fine.
My dogs like 12 lbs and it’s great for her to go poop with since she’s very picky about location lmao.
Preach. My dog is 2.5 kilos, and i couldnt imagine using anything else than a 3m flexi leash.
Unpopular opinion here then I guess. I like the flexibility of the flexi lead. It has a brake and you can pop it at any length. It automatically stays up and out of the wet but allows my dog the freedom of being off leash while keeping the leash Karens happy. The webbing is extremely strong and durable as is the locking mechanism. He can be a dog and do dog things and I can walk with minimal interruption.
Is going through life a dumbass fun?
@@Iono23 what a thoughtful and well constructed argument. I counter with; It takes one to know one.
@@jonhunt5408 but is it?
@@Iono23 you should know
They gave a good argument. Come up with your own keep it civil and talk with some respect.
I agree! They ant for every dog ….but is anything? I wouldn’t use for large out of control dog but it’s great for my well trained chihuahua….use common sense for your needs and DONT be so harsh and judgemental.
As an Army MWD handler, Flexi leads are awesome. And they hold up well to our K9's as long as you know how to use them. They are not "garbage" but rather take more skill to use than they are advertised. The average person walking their pet should practice the mechanics of a flexi before using it on a powerful dog.
“You need a flexi leads license” had me literally in 😂
For real lol
I have a 70lb Australian Shepard who likes to pull when she sees another animal. She's excitable. That's the breed. I bought the flexi 8 years ago and it's never broke or anything he has said. It's amazing and I swear by the flexi.
You have no control over your dog though? If she decides to run and not care what u say you’ve got 0 chance of stopping her
You are who I watch out for when I walk my dog - I control mine can you control yours - I’ve broken up dog fights and it’s an adrenaline dump when they weigh over 70 lbs - please be respectful and use better equipment
@@acooke7265 u realize they have a button brake right
@@yoho1021 I control 4 dogs on two flexis. It can be done
@@yoho1021 I control 4 dogs on two flexis. It can be done
I used a flexi line instead of long lines because they get less tangled between their legs but just for recall training and not for normal walks that's for sure
I agree! My flexi lead literally snapped and my dog ran into the street almost getting hit by 2 cars. Most terrifying experience everrrrr! Thankfully the cars stopped because I was screaming and the woman across the street grabbed him as I ran over.
They work if you’re dog isn’t a psychopath. Used them for many years and never had an issue.
FACTS. Only people who think they're dog people use those. If you know, you know
👀labrador and golden retrivers
I walk my Turkish Kangal on a Flexi lead he weighs 121lbs lean muscle and it's fine with him you don't buy a cheap one you buy a proper one
That's not a "FACTS". That's an opinion. Nothing wrong with flexi leash. You just suck at maintaining your dog
@@jaysons8050 I don't have these problems. But go ahead and keep assuming
Sure bud we believe you 😉
Ive had one of these leashs for 3 years for my 3 year old french bulldog. Works good if your dog listens to the you aka the owner.
I have a 26’ Flexi lead that I purchased from Ray Allen. It’s extremely roughed and durable. People are just idiots and don’t know when to keep the dog on heel or give extra leash.
Wow
Right on. Agreed
Yeah you have to be careful with them. And yes it's going to be super unsafe if your dog isn't trained. But they're really handy when your dog is off leash trained but you're in a city that doesn't allow off leash dogs. If my dog gets tangled I tell him to stay- and he does. If I see another dog I recall him into a heel. When I was a little kid a dog on a flexi lead ran in front of and got tangled up with my stroller. It left a gash across my throat. So yeah, I'd never ever use a flexi lead on a dog liable to bolt or one that isn't leash trained.
My dog is 9 weighs 29lbs. I've used no leash/ flexilead her entire life. Absolutely no problems. This rule in all honesty only applies to a dog that would classify as q medium-large/large breed. And rly this rule still only applies for ppl who get dogs and do absolutely no training with them and still turn around and go "she don't bite"
Flexi leashes are not legal leashes in most USA states or in most countries. Most states have a law limiting leash lengths to 6 or 7 feet.
Totally agree. Our puppy-trainer told us some horror scenarios - we never liked them, anyway! They convey the wrong signals to your dog, and they're super-dangerous. For training we use a long line. 😏
Complete bullshit, use them all the time and never had one break. If you're a "pro" it doesn't matter what leash you use. Used it on my 145 pound or 65 kg Boerboel, 100 pound or 45 kg Rottweiler and lastly my stray Pitbull which was pound for pound the strongest dog I've ever experienced. Flexi works like a charm 👍👍👍
I have used a Flexi Leash very successfully with two medium size doodles for years. They are great. There are times when it is perfectly fine to give your pet a bit more freedom when on a walk.
I turned my flexi leash into a clothesline for my apartment 😂
lol
Hah excellent use🤣
Quite an expensive use for what 100' of 550 Paracord @ about $10.00 could have done better.
I guess you just have your own way. I use it because I still don't trust my dog off leash. And I prefer allowing him to go 15ft from me when he needs to piss. Other then that he's never ran from me while on leash. When off he acts like the world opened up for him and no commands matter.
Your dog clearly doesn't respect you or your authority then. He respects the tug of the leash, that's it. Probably because he wants to run and you won't let him.
Do you know how they used to train elephants? Like in India and whatnot back in the day?
They get em while they're young, strap chains to one of their feet, and tie them to a huge pole. The baby elephant will almost die trying to escape. After a few rounds of that and once the elephant is an adult, they tie a thin piece of string around their leg and tie the other end to a small steak, like for camping.
This gives the elephant memories of the chain and post, and it has no hope for escaping, so it doesn't. When really, it can terrorize and demolish everything around it if it had the right mindset. A gunfire shot, a fire, a spook, ruins this entire plan and completely backfires once the elephant actually gets loose. Very dangerous to train this way.
Hopefully nothing spooks your dog while he happens to not have a leash on; for his sake and others. Because he only listens to the leash, not you.
I'm so hoping that with the popularity of your dog training page n a couple of other good one's, that dog owners see n understand how important it is to train your dog, especially the owners who have zero control n think it's acceptable for their dog to rush kids, other dogs, people etc all the while screaming from 40ft away that "It's ok he's just being friendly!". 🤦♂️
We've had far too many dog fights, (3 dogs pass in two months in small regional town), due to lack of control n training. 😔
Last week a woman yelled at my friend n I cos we lifted my friends two small dogs up to get away from her huge barking n bearing its teeth dog. She got very nasty n rude that we didn't just stand still so her dog could, (potentially), hurt them. She said that we didn't know what we were doing n that lifting the little ones up n out of the way was the cause of her dog's barking n getting more aggressive. Mind blown! 🤯
In other countries, states or councils, dogs must be on leash at all times. So if I wanna play long distance games or work with my dog anywhere, flexi leads come in really handy.
In my opinion it depends what you use it for. It’s trash if you use it because your dog pulls and you don’t want to deal with that it’s bad. But if you use it instead of a long leash when mantrailing and similar stuff it can be useful.
I have a Maltese shitzu mix and we have a flexi for her, only because she's too old to play games and she doesn't interact with many other dogs. (She is still friendly to them.) But with my 35 pound tub of turd I call my baby girl, she has a solid leash and I'm finding her a full harness. She's a wild one but after 9 months of having her, she's 1 year old and getting better at her training every day!
I HATE flexi leash! My dog got attacked by a bulldog because of its owners not being able to control it. The owner fell down and the dog try to attack my dog which caused her to loose a tooth. Than recently while walking at a park, this ladies tiny dog saw mine walking and just went ballistic I hope that lady learned a lesson cause looked like she had to use her other hand do pull the thin leash. One of the most awful inventions
I hate those, I’m training my new pup to do both on an off leash
My dog walks great off-leash, but there are leash laws in my area, so I personally use one since it doesn't drag on the ground and gets dirty, but for those who use one trying to contain their dog... that's another story.
Same. I could let him off-leash in a lot of situations but the local law requires me to have him on a leash so I took the longuest one I could get and I still manage him with voice commands.
On the other hand I frequently walk a poorly trained Rottie and he would snap those things in two in half an hour. I keep that one on a short leather leash 'cause he'd either break that flexileash or tear my arm apart
@@isakaldazwulfazizsunus7564
Do you know that there are multiple manufacturers, most are Chinese Crap, and they also come in a multitude of sizes/strengths for any sized dog?
There's a correct tool for every job and not all tools are equal.
@@glenj.taylor2938 It's not my dog so I use the leather leash his owner already has because his flexileash is shit. And I keep him on a short one because he tends to rush forward unpredictably and that tends to hurt my arms. The one time he was let off the leash he tried to attack a horse, and he kills everything he sees that's the size of a cat. I'm not with him long enough to train him properly and I'm one of the few who can walk him safely.
Also, no, I didn't know that.
@@isakaldazwulfazizsunus7564
I commend you on taking the time to walk and care for another person's dog.
What kind of dog is it?
These are horrible! My neighbor's dog was on one of these and ran full speed towards my dog. The leash wrapped around my ankle and the rope burn that I got from this bacterial breeding ground POS, was unreal. It was so bad that it was a deep 2nd degree burn with cellulitis within 12 hours. Could have lost my foot!
That sounds so incredibly painful! I’m glad you are ok!
I have one for my mobility scooter walks ,, previously i had 2 pits on a 3meter double ended strap with karabinas as the g clips let go on a head shake
Been ising Flexi leash for 20yrs on multiple dogs! Would take it to the dog park though
My dog weighs 10 kg and it’s perfect, maybe don’t use it for a Great Dane, but for my dog it’s fine it gives him more freedom when walking in parks they can’t be off leash in, it’s not garbage just try to consider that not everyone has a humongous work dog, small and medium dogs exist pal.
Love mine, he’s only 15Lbs and has lasted for years. You can control the length and accuracy very quickly.
In my opinion they are fine for most small dogs as long as the dog has decent training. We used one for my chihuahua growing up and one advantage of the flexi lead is you can give them audio/physical commands without much effort. If you slightly hold the lock down but still let the line go, you get a clicking noise that the dog will recognize as a warning to slow down and if they keep pulling you can tighten it all the way and stop. Anything over 15-20 pounds I’d wouldn’t use them.
Flexy are great. I have 5 different types and they are perfect. My dog is trained to walk without leash. They are practical, you can attach light and treat/dog capsule to any of their products
It’s another useful tool in the toolbox when used properly. Unfortunately most don’t know how to use it right.
Flexi lead my 160 lbs Bullmastiff for years. Sure I could have used a lead line but who needs the arm shuffle. Flexi allows the dog to have freedom to heel precisely without pressure. It's like being off lead for the dog while you are meeting the letter of the law.Excellent product. German engineering. Used by two time IGP/Schutzhund World Champion trainer Ivan Balabanov.
On a small light dog it's just fine.
I have used flexi leashes for years and NEVER had a problem with them. I use the TUG brand and it's very durable. They never get tangled up and it gives my 12 pound Bichon a lot of freedom for him to explore. I know how to handle this leash better than any other type of leash. I also love that it retracts all the way where I can keep my dog very close to me on busy streets. I actually tried using regular leashes and couldn't get used to them.
We live in a rural area with nary other dog interactions. We love our "flexi" leash and will continue to use them. "Professionals" can take their opinions and stuff it.
I use a flexi lead often because alot of area’s require your dog to be on the lead.
My dog is well trained.
Its more like a loophole lead, technically on the lead but gives my dog more enjoyment and freedom. I always carry her main lead to for when near roads etc.
Can someone tell me where to find one of those 30ft retractable lines that small? That he has?
Can you make a video explaining how long you keep e-collar on a dog, do you only put it on training session or 24/7? How do you fade out the e-collar?
Whenever you have your dog off leash.
I 100% agree! Why use a leash that gives you zero control on your dog? Defeats the purpose of a leash. Unless the dog is well trained and can heel like a champ, which is not most dogs.
I don't why these are a thing, they've been around forever, the locking part always breaks, and gods forbid if your dog chews through it, I've people almost lose fingers cause the lock breaks and wrap it their hand(don't ask why).
If people want a longer lead they can always buy the training leads and make handles by tying the lead so you have intervals of length, I've done it this way for over twenty years, it may not conventional but it works well.
The other thing you could get is a horse lead, it's what I use with my dogs after I had three clips break and they were weighted for dogs bigger then mine, the leads about 50lbs more then what my dogs weigh, not sure if it's the construction or what.
Try having a husky, we are still training off leash 2 years later we have a heavy 20m lead for fields. Short bungee for controlled walks.
Retractable leads at least strong ones have a place. When I'm on a field I can use an extra long version to quickly let him run. Rather than having the long lead that Is less compact and gets dirty easier.
i think there fine my family has had our dog for 6 years and we used these retractable leashes for her and they work perfect especially the break.
Amen. If the dog is 26 feet away then be off leash at that point. One hand and bulky and teaches a dog that pulling gets them somewhere vs learning that tension is not good
Don't know why the hell it has became so famous. A Dachshund died whilst on a flexi leash. Car drove over him, no control. The pet sitter told the client, "don't use that"
With the ban on American Bully XL's in the UK I can tell you that an untrained dog is a complete liability on a flexi lead no matter where you are. I walk my boy in the fields with a flexi and when I recall or he reaches the full extent of the lead he come back to me EVERY SINGLE TIME! It is my responsibility to be vigilant of other dogs, foxes etc However, I wouldn't use a flexi to walk to the shops or congested areas. With the exception of the prong and half check collars from Martingale ALL his other collars and leads come from Bully Billow and I use the tactical combat selection.
Only reason I have one is originally because I have a rabbit and then I used it as a tool to train my little dog her recall and off leash limits because she kept getting tangled in the long line
My dog loves her flexi leash and i have enough control over her i think. A licence for a leash 😲 no
If you know how to use a retractable leash “like a pro” they work incredibly well. I use one for my 65lb dog, and I have never had any problems controlling him…with one hand!
I hate flexies so much! When I see someone walking their dog on them, I try to stay away from them, cause Ik they aren't going to control their dog if it goes after my SDit. I don't wanna risk him getting attacked by out of control dogs.
Yes! The second I see one of those we go the other way.
@@atyourservicedog I came across two with little reactive dogs yesterday while walking my neighbors nervous dog, and as predicted, the owner did nothing to stop the dogs, he just laughed as he passed us , just reinforces how I feel about those leashes…
I have one, but's for a Cat. I knew this information prior to that purchase, and couldn't agree more.
I use flexi giant xl for my 10month mastiff who is 60kg and its absolutely fine, no problem what so ever. But everyone is different and everyone prefer different things. So up to them what they use as long as there dog is trained.
I have a flexi lead and i can kinda agree cause on ours the locking mechanism broke but i have other ones and they are pretty good but i know how to use a Normal lead
I have a flexi lead becaus it gives my dog freedom and its a small dog if i had a big strong dog i would grab mij other leash and my dog is tiny and not strong😊
Hi, a few questions regarding my Boston terrier. Her name is pebbles.
I noticed that when I walk her on her front leading leash, it stops her from pulling , but it makes her walk at an angle which I feel is causing a misalignment in her spine. When I attach her leash to the back of her harness, she no longer walks at An angle but she pulls. I spoke to a dog walker and she said she’s a terrier, and terriers are meant to pull. Her pulling truthfully doesn’t bother me, but I read that that teaches them that they are the boss ,not you.
Also- are collars Nessecary? She’s never worn one before, but I want to get one so she has her tags on her at all times, and I do attach an AirTag to her harness because she has gotten loose before, so I would like to attach that to her collar. I would not walk her with a collar, but would it be cruel to put her in a collar after never having her wear one for so long?
So true I bought one for my white lab German Shepherd is only 75 pounds and he broke it on the first day. They are garbage and it’s rated for 100 pound dog.
It was at this time that I got the ecollar lmao I only have a 55 lb dog and the SAME thing happened!
Nothing would pull him out of that fear aggression state except for the ecollar. I could strangle him and he'd only want to bolt more.
With the ecollar, he'll recall 100% of the time, can sit/lay stay with me being out of site or far away, his focus is entirely on ME and MY commands as it should be. He knows he'll be safe if he listens, so he listens.
I have great control over my dog. I’ve had a flexi leash for many years and I am happy with it. I also don’t use collars because I don’t like to choke out my dog…
Only harnesses.
Apparently this guy thinks it's a necessity to be able to choke your dog unconscious like wtf XD
Flexlines should be illegal. No control. And when a dog comes with 60 mph the Line Cut your flesh like a japanese samurai sword
No dog on the planet can run 60mph you fool. 😂😂
I've had several incidents with these and people... just the other day i had my 85lb 9 month german Shepherd pup in the down postion after being it the truck stop with me.. this lady with a 6 shitzu has her so called service dog on one and opens it up and tells her dog to go play... im happy he listened and i work with a e-collar.. he barked which i wasn't completely thrilled with but he listend as she was there yelling..
Flexi leashes are perfect for running around the backyard and finding a bathroom spot. Going out front with it and hitting the streets feels a lot like walking into a bad neighborhood though.
Some bimbo at my old apartment had her pit on one of them and it decided to go after my shepard and pomeranian chihuahua. The lady was screaming I'm sorry I can't stop him so loud and it made me so mad she got a piece of my mind for sure.
My wife and I have been using these for 31 years now and other than getting lassoed by them if we see a dog we know we never had any problems. If we see a strange dog coming we retract the leash and tell our dogs to heel. Sometimes I lock the leash and sometimes I don’t, just trying to find out if my dig is really listening. I will say the quality of the leash has dropped off quite a bit over the years.
I had one snap many years ago, causing my parent's dog to topple into the road and get hit by a van. He lived, luckily, but broke his leg. I was a kid at the time and it was terrifying. I would never use one of those.
Dog collars can also snap, I've had one snap on my great dane. Would you also suggest people not use collars? 😂
I have a long line one for fetch because my puppies recall isn’t perfect yet. But she’s still small and it’s for one purpose only
Flexi is great for place where dog must by on leash or for children's learning walk with dog.
I think they’re good for older small dogs. Something you can let out and give them some space but know they’re too old and too small to break. So yeah I would trust it but not on just any dog.
I’m in a wheelchair and the only way to NOT run over my dog is a retractable leash. And he’s HUGE!!! He’s a treeing walker coonhound and about 85-90# and underweight. I tried a regular 6 foot leash and I ran over his paw twice accidentally. Poor guy.
Only because the line may break or the latch? I thought there would be a better rereason.
I don’t know why people don’t spend more time with their dogs. Training them is super important, and it’s your bonding time with your fur baby.
Yooo Garrett, I need E collar recommendations please!
Flexi leashes are not made for a man's hand! Few years ago, I accidentally dropped a flexi when walking my Puggle puppy. When I dropped it,it began retracting towards the dog! She took off running,scared of that mean old leash coming after her! I, in turn, started running after the Puggle. The shorts I was wearing were fine for walking, but not for running! They fell down,and tripped me up! I broke my elbow,and needed a elbow replacement! That was last time I used a flexi!!
I see people using those 100' lines while playing fetch and it just makes me laugh. Like they have ANY control with a 100' line 🤣 You can stop them from running away, sure. But what if another dog approached your dog while they're 100' away and your dog doesn't handle it well? What if your dog sees something out of your line of site?
Good luck with that. Perfect recall and offleash walking is 1000x more reliable than any leash while being outside; prove me wrong.
All it takes is 1 disobeyed command.
@@alanspaz5935 No it doesn't. I know my dog in and out. I'll throw a command at him knowing he's going to disobey that way we can make a positive training session.
He will recall 99.99% of the time through voice. He'll act like a WW1 runner carrying a messege, when I page him with the e-collar with 100% recall rate.
I'd love to see you control your dog on a 100' when it is a 100' away and a different dog starts approaching your dog. A dog fight is one thing. A dog fight with 100' line involved seems dangerous af 😳
@@alanspaz5935 I don't think you understand what dogs are capable of. I'll offleash wall with him next to a high way. I'll play fetch, throwing it 5 ft from the curb of an arterial. You might have a stupid dog or might not know how to train it, but not me lmao
@@killa-ma-jig7281 I agree with the 100ft line bs being rediculous. I don't go past 15 myself. I trust my dog. I won't ever trust him enough to allow him off a line even with a collar. He's proven it already that being a stray is how he grew up and refuses to lose that when he's "free" electricity does nothing but make him yelp and keep running if he even feels it..
@@killa-ma-jig7281 considering mines a farm dog by breed aka they run around in their boundaries and have actual jobs around the land. Pretty sure he's not stupid. Just like you can't train other humans no animal is 100% trained. They are still wild beasts even when domesticated. But you calling a boy stupid really shows your lack of capability in terms of outreach information. "If it's not something I specifically have been around it doesn't exist". Good day mate.
They can also cause pretty bad injuries to the dog. Particularly their legs.
Mine walk fine on fixed leash, but she won't poop, as she only poop in busches and such, unless I walk with her into busches and shit, and I won't do that, it's usually where other dogs also poop, and I dont have time for cleaning shoes every morning.
If you are able to leash train your dog, and actually pay attention to your dog while walking a "flexi leash" (really a retractable leash) is a great tool. Sure, the average person using one are completely clueless but they are not 'absolute garbage'. No way I'm going to deal with the hassle of a static leash longer than 6 feet unless I'm actively training a dog, the retractable leash keeps the line out of the dog's feet and neatly stores it when you need the dog close. The quality leashes have no trouble holding back a 200lbs dog if you have a correctly sized leash.
well I've heard some stories from my friend that her grandmother got her finger chopped off from a flexi lead I personally would not use them on my for dogs
I wouldn't recommend them either, mostly the ones that the line is like a cord, once my dog caught me off guard and tried to go after a another dog that was far enough, and I tried to stop her, and I couldn't push the lock button so (stupidly) I tried to stop her by grabbing the leash, and not only I couldn't stop her with the leash, but also I almost chop off my whole finger, the cord is so thing and when the dog runs off the cord goes so fast that can cut thru flesh and bone, I was quick enough to let the cord go, so it only cut part of the flesh of my finger (I needed stitches) but it also kinda burn the part of the flesh from the friction, I know it was dumb from me to grab the leash by the cord, but in those moments of quick events you don't have to much time to think, and also it was my first couple of days with this leash I never had one like this before.
So bottom line, this type of leash, especially the one with a thin cord, can cause a lot of damage, this time was my finger, imagine that same scenario but this time the cord actually tangled with something like your hand or your dog or another dog, literally it can kill it or chop off his paw or something.
As a regular user, please don't use it, it may have its specific applications but for and your dog's safety, stick with a traditional leash.
I have been walking a 200lb mastiff on one for 8 years with no problem
My neighbor brought their dog over on a flexi lead and it got tangled around my ankle and I was screaming in pain the dog kept pulling I ended up getting a rope burn
What’s the difference between those and your 400 ft line?
His 400 yd line is actually an electric shock collar LOL
Exactly, I use a fifteen foot long line. Hate flexi leads..
@americanstandardk9
What brand is your "400" yard line? I have 2 female Shepard/Labrador mix, they're really good off leash but i want to get a reliable "no leash" collar for them both. Love your work brother! Thank you for all this knowledge and content! You're the man!
Lol this type of dog leash has held up for ages for our family. Dog fights and all.
Now if your dog is a huge uncontrollable wild beast -that's a different story, but I'd argue that you don't want that outside on any sort of leash. Not even gonna talk about how the person has to be as strong as the dog at least to control them, which is not what some people consider when buying pitbulls and other breeds. That's what needs a license, not freaking flexi leashes.
You can either have a spool with the leash in your hand, or let your hands or yourself be the spool for the extra leash.
Same mines a puppy and she’s already learned to walk on a leash , sit , lay down , roll over . And is learning off leash and I’m still in school
What would you suggest on polide and also a clicker I? Noticed that you use a clicker. I have never? Seen that. Used before? Yes? Met you and it works and what kind of work can we purchase it thank you? Just is always you are a fantastic person do not ever forget that.
Truth. My pit would exploit that silly thing like it was romper room time.
Usually i have my dog on flexi lead and a extra leash for a off leash agreesive dog that may aproach. I got this all fugured out
What about leash aggressive dogs? Need to know if they would help without “perfect heel” dogs. I want my dog to always feel they can sniff without needing my permission.
My dog ate his and ran off which is why I’ll never recommend one even if it’s a small Chihuahua (we didn’t have another leash at the time since my first dog didn’t need one cause she’d be either by our side or really close to us and we didn’t think we were gonna be buying another dog but we did anyway cause he needed out of there asap)
What's that 400yd line?
Yea
I had one for my pit mixed with Aussie an it broke in one potty break
Nope been using them for over 10 years and they are the best. Never had any problems
