FLEXINeon Retractable Dog Leash (Cord) 16 ft, Medium, Black/Neon Yellow

I have using this leash daily for four years. My hound is a 95 pound, extremely strong, male German Shepherd. When he sees a rabbit or other critter he takes off and sometimes nearly dislocates my shoulder, if I am not paying attention. We took him on a 6 week adventure from San Diego to Alaska, during which the leash was put to an extreme test. No issues. I’ve owned big GSDs for 30 years and have gone through countless leashes, some lasting only weeks. I attached a steel cable to prevent him from biting through the leash. A few days ago he took off in a flash. The cable’s metal clip broke. The leash was undamaged - that’s say a lot! Bottom line is that even if you have an enormously strong dog, this leash is up to the task. It still works as brand new. I RARELY leave reviews, but am doing so because this leash is indestructible. If it ever breaks I would buy another one instantly, even if it was far more expensive. Love that German quality!!

This leash is fantastic! We use it for our 9-month old 55lb Goldendoodle. She pulls with all her might at times. This leash is being tested. It is holding up well though! We have used this leash for 6 weeks Here are some other things to note:1. The color is fantastic - and slightly reflective.2. This is light, small, and yet holds her well. It is easy for me to maneuver in one hand.3. This costs less than our previous 3 retractable leashes. Yet it is sturdier (and so light). Remember, light does not equal poorly built. This seems to be a correlation some reviewers make.4. The line itself is not flat. This is a rope. This is good for a few reasons: 1) It does not get tangled. 2) It is less likely to have difficulty retracting (which is how 2/3 of the more expensive leaches became less desirable). 3) The line being a rope, and therefore smaller, is also less likely to get urinated on if the leash gets between her legs or under her tail.All in all, I can recommend this leash. It holds a rambunctious 55lb dog perfectly. I imagine it would have no difficulty holding a much heavier dog. It is small enough - and the rope small enough - to hold a much smaller dog as well.If you're like me and have been purchasing a lot of leashes to find the perfect one, then perhaps you have found it in this Flexi. It is exactly what I wanted: a strong and small retractable leash.

INSTEAD OF WRITING A REVIEW AFTER A MONTH OF USE I"M GLAD TO SAY THIS RETRACTABLE LEASH IS STILL WORKING FINE AFTER 2 AND A HALF YEARS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT JAMMING UP OR HAD THE SNAP FAIL. I REALY LIKE THE REFLEXTIVE SIDE PANELS AS I DO MOST OF MY WALKING IN THE DARK. ITS REALLY BRIGHT TO UNCOMING CARS. MY NEIGHBOR HAS THE EXACT SAME ONE AND HIS IS A GOOD YEAR OLDER THAN MINE BUT STILL WORKS GREAT. AND HIS DOG PULLS LIKE A HORSE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LEASH!!

I bought this leash in medium for my 18 lbs, 1 y.o. Corgi. The first 16" is the tape lead with an opening that is wide enough to put your hand in. I use this for a shorter lead for training "heel". After the first 16" of tape it converts to a medium thickness string. It is a bright neon yellow and is reflective on the casing only. I attached a previously purchased doggie bag carrier on it in this photo. It bangs against the bottom .... which is annoying when you are running. But the handle is comfortable enough for myself (5'8" female medium frame) to place my hand in the opening with my pinky underneath to prevent the banging. This lead is more comfortable than prior one I have used. The handle has a sort of soft touch plastic handle versus the hard plastic handles of prior version. This is my second Flexi lead. I still have the other one that is the same and is 7 years old. I have had no problems other than the string was getting thin after using it on a 65 lb German Shepard for 7 years.

Purchased the listed leash at PetCo in Feb 2014 for $32.99. It was about $10 more than the other similar leashes, but had a reflective casing. I wanted that feature and was willing to pay the additional cost. Version I bought at the brick-and-mortar store is sturdy, appears well constructed, and operates as expected.Saw the "same thing" on Amazon for $18.57 and purchased two in Feb 2014. One leash to keep in my car, and one to keep with my mom. The cardboard packaging looks just like the one purchased at PetCo. The model number and the UPC are the SAME on the one I bought at PetCo and the version I bought on Amazon.HOWEVER, the reflective outer casings on the two are very different. The "reflective" casing of the Amazon leash is not nearly of the same "highway grade" (stated as on the package) as the casing on the PetCo one.If you are buying this leash for the "Highway Grade Reflective Sheeting" this was NOT on the leash I bought from Amazon.The "belt" part is also looks different, but it appears that this is just cosmetic and doesn't matter to me.Summary: Both leashes appear well made and the retraction so far is similar. However, the one bought on Amazon does NOT have the same level of Reflective Sheeting on the casing as the SAME model and UPC one I bought at PetCo. If you are looking for a decent retractable leash, the Amazon one is good, but the casing is NOT REFLECTIVE the same way that my other leash with the SAME model number and UPC from a store is.I know there is a significant difference in price and I expect to pay for what I get. I am used to Amazon having really good prices so I wasn't as surprised at the price differential as I might be if I saw it on another website - AND the model numbers and UPC is the SAME but the product is DIFFERENT.The leashes I bought on Amazon themselves are okay for the cost, but NOT as advertised and I feel I received less than described.UPDATE: UPGRADING to 4 Stars. Would be 5 but I still feel a bit deceived. These 2 bought on Amazon are holding up just as well as the one I purchased at PetCo and I literally toss them (lightly - but still) when I come in the house. They all have been dropped and abused. I use all three leashes OFTEN and interchangeably. I think if I had to walk on a dark road I would favor the PetCo one though.

I would buy the ribbon line like my other larger dog has (same brand), the thin cord is not as good.

La cinta tiene una buena longitud y parece muy resistente, ya que por ahora, aguanta muy bien.La correa es cómoda de llevar y esta bien construida.

We have had a flexi brand leash for years that has lasted for a few of our dogs and lots of use. When it wasn't working properly anymore we decided to get another one so went to the local pet store. They didn't have Flexi brand so we purchased one we thought looked the same and paid more than we thought it would be. The other brand was not even close to the Flexi so we took it back and ordered the Flexi brand. It is awesome! It is very well made and we like the reflective feature. The one-hand braking and recoil feature is what was missing on the other brand. This safety feature is a must when you are out walking and need to react quickly and is what puts this brand above all others. Highly recommend this product.
