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.

These leads are useful under certain circumstances, but I have to admit I wouldn't use one normally. We bought one recently as we'd just taken on a new rescue dog, and while she hasn't been recall trained yet, we wanted to give her a bit more freedom but keep her safe on a recent holiday walking the coastal paths in Pembrokeshire. The other big advantage of course, is that while you're scrambling up or down hills, the dog isn't going to pull you over, as they're not on a rigid length of lead (they can do some exploring too, and you won't be jerked all around the place).These leads can take a while to get used to, and the danger is you could actually injure your dog if you're not sensible how you use them,

I was originally looking at more expensive model, then I stumbled across this (flexi New Classic Leash, Black, Medium, 25 kg), as we have a Springer pup who is like an Exocet missile dodging in n out all around the field, so instead of running around like Forrest Gump I invested in one of these beauts. The feel is good and not uncomfortable, feels sturdy to hold. The controls are easy in reach of your thumb, brake / lock and both function very responsively. I am always worried that these leads will not feed back in, but the whole mechanism seems very robust and effective. You have the addition of clipping on a poo bag holder (really is that a thing?!?!) or a red light for night time walks.

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,

This brand is the easiest extendable lead brand available on the market and we have tried most of them! It's also one of the most competively priced. We would never ever use a cord extendable lead, and this tape one is perfect. It's long enough for our dog to feel she is still free - if she needs to be on the lead, but short enough that she can't get into too much trouble! It is easy to lock at a certain length if you wanted to and it doesn't jerk on the lock like many of the other brands do - which jerks the dog as well. It's lightweight but extremely sturdy, and the onyl reason our old one was replaced with this one is because the dog wrapped the other one round a rose bush which frayed a section of the tape - and although it was still strong,

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.

We purchased the flexi classic lead 5m medium for our new maltipoo puppy puppia harness. It fits well and we are looking forward to taking him out for his first walk to the park. The lead is very versatile and gives a great deal of flexibility regarding the length of the lead and control which is why its called the 'flexi' I suppose...other reviewers have commented that the quick release clip that attaches to a puppy harness is too small, I have to agree that the clip is a tad on the small side, this could/should be 15-20mm larger in diameter so it can easily clip onto the x2 rings of a harness as appose to just the x1 ring of a collar. In summary, it seems like a good lead with a comfortable grip with a good amount of control features,

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!

Been using this for my 35kg Dobermann puppy for a couple of months.It has proved resilient and survived him being brought to a halt when running at speed quite a few times, till he got used to it.I would advise fitting your own safety strap as a heavy dog running at speed will easily pull this from your hand when you try and bring it to a halt. I used his lead through the handle and over my shoulder. But the grip and buttons fit nicely in the hand.Continues to retract speedily, without tangling itself, so that the dog doesn’t get his legs caught up when diving to and fro after several months use.Not heavy and being tape and not wire I feel much safer using for my dog.

This is a good lead, we've had the same brand previously. My husband prefers a longer line, so we got this in addition to a 5m retractable lead.It does the job well and my husband had no complaints. Unfortunately I find it a little less easy to use, as it's heavy and the handle is entirely the same material as the case. This means that if your hands are prone to perspiring (especially in this warm weather) it can be easy to lose your grip if your dog has any amount of strength. It could be improved with a more 'grippy' grip, but it is generally good. The lock feature is easy to use, and the mechanism is smooth. I do like that the lead is a tape, rather than strong/rope.

I was looking for a retractable leash and saw positive reviews for flexi brand leashes. I can say I'm very impressed as they have great range (5m) and are very sturdy despite being accidentally used as a chew toy (briefly). The leash is very strong and I have no worries about it being strong enough to control if needed, the retracting function is very fast with a thumb lock button which allows you to lock the leash at whatever length you need. It is perfect in the sense that I can let it out as much as needed and reel it in very quickly also. I would only consider a retracting leash in future and my flexi leash (though battered) has withstood constant use without fault.
