Easy close waistcoat Velcro straps but very difficult to clip neck/ chest strap - fastening is small, fiddly and tight. Bought for when my rescue cats stay elsewhere when I am away.Not a problem for one cat who made no real resistance and no effort to remove- first attempt saw lead attached and trip outside. Personality traits- 10 year old female, lounge lizard, lap cap, slow stroll round the garden to take in the air, likes to be near but not with you, quietly confident and not easily spooked tends to take things in stride.The other cat is slowly getting used to the harness - left around house, putting on and off for shirt spells. First attempts show critical to fit and adjust chest strap.

I bought this (together with a red one) for my Golden Retrievers (38 kilos each) as a replacement for a Large dog Flexi cord lead which after 7-8 years all weather use the retraction spring had given up the ghost. I was very disappointed to find that large dog cord leads are no longer available - only tape ones. I already had 2 tape ones put to the back of the cupboard for 10+ years for emergency use only since in any form of wet weather or wet grass the tape soaks up water becoming too heavy for smooth retraction so not for use in the English climate. So I bought these two cord leads for Medium dogs (20 kg )

It's my second Flexi lead - the first one lasted 10 years and have faultless service until my bearded Collie yanked it so hard the spring broke. This one not so much unfortunately. It's almost as well made as the last one but it has a fairly significant design flaw. The old Flexi leads used a cord which shrugged off dirt and water. This design uses a tape which is fine - until it gets wet. At that point it picks up bits of grit which get transferred inside the housing leading to a dreadful scraping, rattling sound as the lead extends. Worse though, when it's wet it stops working - the lead becomes too heavy for the mechanism to retract so it dangles on the ground getting grittier and wetter.

If you need a new lead then this is it!!!!!!Absolutely first class lead and typically German in both it's build quality, its feel in your hand and the great quality mechanism inside. I have a Jack Russell pup who hated her old standard lead so I thought I would give this one a go as it affords her more freedom whilst still giving me full control. She loves it and now quite happily plods along with us now rather than having her constantly fight the lead every step of the way. The recoil on the lead is fantastic even when the line is fully extended.The locking mechanism is instant and strong with no slippage at all even with 2 adults trying to pull it using considerable force (we were both

Ive had these leads before and they are always allright, none of my dogs have ever escaped from them, I only replace them because sometimes at the end they fray, not the leads fault my dog does pull sometimes, and its just wear and tear.I have watched the video of the lead coming off the collar, and realy this could happen with any lead, not just this flexi one all leads seem to have the same clip fastener, its something to be aware of, and I am thinking of adding an extra ring just in case, but cant find fault with this lead and allows my dog some freedomI would only use a lead like this when we are away from the road, as that's when I thin k they are dangerous when I see a dog running in front of its owner it makes me shudder,

I was after a lightweight lead for my cat Charlie. She likes to go outside every now and then on her harness (we live in the inner city so I'm not comfortable letting her out alone and she hates cars!) but the lead I had for her was too short. I was hoping a flexi lead would let me supervise her expeditions outside without being dragged about with her.I ordered the lead on a Sunday and it came the next day without me having to pay any extra. The pink is just as pictured and matches her harness perfectly.I ordered it in xs as it is for a cat and it is perfectly lightweight however, the handle is a little small to comfortably hold and would have benefited from having a cm bigger handle.All in all its a decent quality lead which operates smoothly and is secure enough to trust.

I bought a different brand retractable lead a while ago for walking our cats, but it was so strong, it lifted them in the air as it was retracting (a bit of a shock for the cats!) so I bought this one as a replacement.It does say extra small, so I thought it would be light enough to leave my cats on the ground and it does just that, very well, so very pleased. The only thing is that the hole in the handle seems to be a little extra small too, so it's a bit fiddly to get my hand through. I think that the manufacturers need to take into account that just because your pet is small, it doesn't mean that the owner is too! It's fine for me, but I can imagine that a larger man might have difficulty.Nonetheless,

Decided on this because the reviews are good and it met all my requirements. Within a couple of weeks though my 6 month old Shiba Inu had already chewed through the lead. She's only a small dog and thought this lead would have withstood a much larger and powerful breed.Update:I emailed the manufacturer to ask if I can get a replacement lead. It took a couple of weeks for them to respond, but I got a really nice personal email from them in Germany. They sent me two new cable ends in the post, free of charge. Also genuinely interested in my feedback and how to make the product better.One solution is to buy a bungee cord,

Great value extending 8mtr lead for small dogs.Purchased to give our Yorkie pup a bit more freedom, he can freely take as much as he wants though often chooses to walk to heel (ish).Feels well made, good quality metal clip, no bad or sharp plastic mouldings, comfortable to hold and intuitive positive locking mechanism that is easy to operate with your thumb.The recoil/retract has a firm feel, our pup only weighed about 1kg when we first received this lead, it did not pull him back or impede him in any way. When he returns to us - even running at full pelt.... the recoil keeps up with him and does not tangle.Wasn't expecting - but pleased to have reflective material woven into the first thick section of lead,

I bought this for my frenchie that can pull quite harshly once she catches sight of another animal! I have always been skeptical of retractable leads for pulling dogs, especially near roads after hearing horror stories of people buying off-brand ones for their pets. Unfortunately now that she’s 75% blind, she cannot be let off the lead whatsoever for her own safety and so i decided to cave and buy this one. 8 metres gives her a good amount of leash to be able to run alongside my other frenchie who is off lead. With it being for dogs up to 50kg and her only being 10.5kg, i do not have any worries about it snapping. It’s very sturdy and has held up for the 6 months i’ve had it!

We've owned this lead nearly a year now, which I guess is pretty long for an extending lead. It's a really good length, so long as you're using a harness not a colour because if your dog is fully extended behind and suddenly breaks into a sprint it's going to be moving fast when it hits the end of the lead. The one problem is it's really easy the chew through the fabric at the bottom if you own a pup who gets overly excited at the thought of a walk. My solution, as it was soon to be a broken lead, was to cut a slice off some old jeans and sew it over the length of the fabric part, wrapping over the bit at the end. This is thick enough that as of yet our dog hasn't chewed through,

I am very satisfied with this lead so far. Quite well made, quick delivery and it has been working without any problems for maybe a month at this point. The only point I have to criticise is that this lead will slacken when you limit the range. This means that if you are pulling your dog away from something the line will go slack and you won't easily be able to pull him in further. If you then release the button to shorten the lead the mechanism tends to be so fast that it whips the lead around and either scaring or even hurting the dog. I have had other leads that resolved this by never being slack at all, which I would have preferred on this lead as well.Otherwise,

I have bought several of these Flexi leads over the years and found them to be the most reliable and sturdiest of retractable dog leads. Once or twice I have opted for a cheaper make but always regretted that when it proved that very cheapness meant having to buy a replacement much sooner than expected. In fact it was shocking how poorly those cheaper alternatives were made, particularly how unresilient the materials they were made from. My personal preference is the corded lead as opposed to the ribbon type because it is impossible for the cord to get tangled around itself or snagged in the aperture as it returns to the reel.

Its definitely not 8 meters like it says in description but it is a good lead, i do worry about the sturdiness of the stitching which there is 2 parts joined, if you have a very strong dog i would suggest not getting this lead, the fact that the mechanism turns the lead so it doesn't tangle is really useful, the actual handle is very big so if you plan on taking your dog off the lead at any point its kind of awkward to hold. There is also a really irritating noise if you dont have it on long where it clicks because the inside is pulling so if things like that ruins your walk dont get this lead.

Great product. We never thought we would get one of these but it’s great. Makes us more relaxed and yet in control and Charlie dog is able to explore without fear of worrying livestock. The 8 mtr cord is great.I have bought the poo bag container which also excellent.Unfortunately Charlie is very quick to bite the leash and after several months of using it, he bit through in 2 places. The product is so good I bought an identical replacement.Not sure what’s going on with delivery though. Hermes let you down Amazon. Delivery deferred twice and then no notice of new delivery date.
