Excellent quality and features. Have tried to use other people's extendable leads when walking friend's dogs and found them really difficult to control the lead quickly - which is very dangerous when you're trying to keep a dog safe. The 'controls' on this one, however, couldn't be simpler: push button forward to give your dog freedom to move forward, click it back to prevent them going any further than their current position. In either setting, the lead retracts automatically as the dog moves towards you so no tangled lead or struggling to retract it yourself. You can also rein the dog in quickly by moving towards him and letting the lead retract as you go.

This lead is good value for what it is. It is strong and looks tidy. The tape line rather than a cord is great as the tapes are much more reliable and strong - they are also easier for dogs to see so less risk of others running into it etc.The only thing I would say is that the latch works in the opposite way to how you would expect. Ie: when you press the button up is allows the lead to stretch out. When you bring the button backwards it locks the lead at that length. So if your dog takes off after a squirrel your instinct is the press the button to stop them....that just lets them go!!I've got used to it now and it's fine though. They also sent a free gift of a poo bag carrier - considerately in the same colour as the lead.

It takes a bit of getting used to the control, as it works "in reverse". However, it prevents my friend from allowing the tape to constantly trail in the mud. I find it easy to use for my dog, but sometimes wish there was also an option to lock it slightly extended, as walking by a road, it is always under tension, which encourages his bad habit of pulling. Partly solved this by clipping a bungee extension on.

I had my old flippy controller for years and it was perfect. However decided to upgrade to new one with extra metre of tape. Unfortunatley as the casing is the same size as old one the last metre of tape does not retract back into case very well or smoothly. I have now gone back to my old flippy as the retraction on that is fast and smooth and allows better control.

This product is well worth buying. We have had hours of fun with our 6 mnth old running about. He's very strong but this product can cope no problems. It's well made and says that it can be used with dogs up to 60kgs. One useful feature is that the tape never drags along the floor to tangle the dogs legs as it automatically retracts. Would recommend to anyone.

Great lead, exactly what I need for my whippet cross for distance work. Just be aware that this lead can't lock to a specific length. It can extend and retract, or retract only, but there's no fixed length setting.That said, the button is easy to operate and the retract is quite slow and gentle, which is good for my nervous dog.

This is the best extension lead I've found. You have complete control of your dog and can reel him in quickly if needed. One of my dogs pulls a bit, but is under the specified weight for the lead so I will have to wait to see if this causes any damage to the lead. So far I am happy with my purchase.

Had this lead for a couple of weeks now and it's excellent. It does exactly what it says in the description. It's also very lightweight and easy to use. I'm glad I purchased this and not a Flexi. I have however added a bungee attachment to ease the strain when my terrier chases birds.

Already have one of these, so thought I'd get a spare. Great dog lead when you have it on lock it lets your dog come back to you without miles of tape dragging through the mud, but also your dog can't go further away from you. You can have it unlocked and your dog can go anywhere.

Fantastic lead replacement for very old model the same. The only lead I have found that when you push clip forward dog is able to go forward and likewise when you release clip backwards the lead brakes. OBVIOUSLY HOW THEY ALL SHOULD WORK.

This retractable dog lead is just the best. It is so easy to use. It’s hold button down to let the dog run and release button to stop any further distance and recoil the lead in. Or just hold the handle to use as a normal lead.

This retractable dog lead does what it says it does. It is sturdy, strong and easy to use (once I got the hang of it as it was the opposite mechanism to previous leads). Ruby and I are well pleased!

Great lead and easy to use. Had two previous retractable leads but this is best. Had to replace original as my dog gives it large with cats and foxes and first one broke after two years.

Love this lead. This was a replacement for the one I got for my dog as a puppy and now almost 10 years old. Last one lost its retraction, but really well used for many years.
