Terrain Dog Leash

When I first got my dog my mom had purchased an older version of this Kong leash and I really liked it but when I went to get a second retractable leash I found some cheaper ones with good reviews and thought I'd give them a try. But after trying a few different other options I decided this leash was worth the extra cost. My dog is right around 55-60 lbs which means for most other leashes I have to get the Large size for his weight and the Large size retractable leashes I got were so heavy and clunky. With the Kong retractable leash I only need the Medium size to handle his weight and it's so much lighter, more compact, and better quality. It also works smoothly and is easier to use.

For our current 20lb and very strong 40lb dog these leashes are fantastic. The lead on other brands would snap or get damaged within a relatively short time. The lead on the kong brand has never snapped and thus they last longer. We only buy this brand now.

We purchased a red one for our little doxie and a blue one for out 55 lb pointer/lab. They are working wonderfully so far. I don't use it for walks with the big dog, only to let her wander in my yard. No fence there. She's very strong and pulls to much. The leash may be able to take it. I'm not willing to risk it. I walk the little dog twice a day using the red king, it's awesome. She likes the freedom it gives to wander around and sniff. I like the ease it provides to rein her in.

This seems like a great leash. I cannot really attest to much about it, because I just bought this leash as a result of my prior KONG leash fraying some (it's several years old) and come to find out my prior leash is 24 feet but this one is only 16 feet. So, I've went back to using my old leash just for my pup to have some extra freedom. But the bit that I did use this, it was very nice and lightweight. It's definitely nice to have a backup leash.

I also have a retractable cord leash -- my new go-to is the ribbon/tape retractable leash. It seems to glide better retracting and really no chance of rope burn if you tend to grab at the retractable portion instead of using the button (yes, I see ppl do it all the time). The Kong leash is sturdy, not too heavy, but the locking mechanism has a little learning curve over the other type retractable leashes. I would def buy again.

This is only my second Kong leash ......... the first one lasted 9 years ( still usable but beat up ) the Kong retractable Leash is basic and sturdy and holds up well .
