Mendota PetDog Walker, Martingale Style Leash - Leash & Collar Combo, Made in The USA - Seafoam, 3/8 in x 6 ft - for Small/Medium Breeds

I use this leash on the daily for taking my pup out for potty breaks in our unfenced yard. It's easy enough to slip on and off without having to put her back in her collar. We have to use martingale style collars for her because she is known to slip out of regular collars. I feel comfortable and confident using this one, even without a collar on as it's almost impossible for her to slip out of it. We don't use this for walks because she is still learning not to pull on a leash. Being half husky, that is hard for her but we are getting there. I hope to be able to use this with her one day without having her pull us this way and that way.

I'm giving this item 4* because the actual leash is built very well. We just received ours. The leather pieces are attached sturdily, the tab moves well without being loose. Color is great, rope looks high quality, just like any other Mendota leash. The only thing that is a little baffling is that the flat neck piece is maybe 3-4" long. There is no way this is made for anything but maybe a dog that is under 15-20 pounds or has a very, very slender neck.We got this one for our aussie, who is a puppy and only about 20" at the withers, for quick potty breaks since he walks on a harness and his collar is a tag holder. He is not a big dog at all. I'll be returning mine and trying a Big Dog Walker instead; it doesn't look like this leash would work as a proper martingale for him. :(

This leash is perfect for the quick trip to the store. It slips on and off quickly and very easily. I highly recommend this seller. I had a great experience with talking to them and getting the product I needed for my size dog (corgi).

Great feel in the hand and between the thumb and index fingers. No breaking in like a leather lead. Doesn't abrade the fingertips like a nylon lead. Martingale design is perfect for a slip on and material doesn't wear hair along the neck line or provoke any discomfort for the dog. Fantastic product.

I like the idea of this collar and it is lightweight. I think it is better than a slip collar because it releases when your dog is on either side of you, so it is safer in that way. On a slip or choke collar, if the dog goes to the other side, the collar won't release when you end your correction but will remain tight and "ratchet." This collar removes that. It is lightweight and easy to use. Unfortunately, I would like the flat part to be quite a bit longer. My dog's neck measured at 15" so I ordered the smaller size as recommended.Gets my dog's attention a little better than a Gentle Leader. It is easy to leave by the door and slip on when visitors come.

5 stars when placed on the right size dog. Sizing and the weight of buckles and clasps is a frustrating issue for my 7 pound Toy Fox Terrier.The rope portion of the Mendota is 3/8 inch. The collar portion is 5/8 inch. The metal rings are 1 inch. The leather tether is 1 3/8 inch. It is too heavy and bulky for my little guy who gets fearful with that much around his neck.It is a little overwhelming but should be ok for my 11.5 pound TFT.The product is well made and appears to be free of flaws. Advise for product development, consider the size and weight of the rings as compared to the size of the dog that is intended to wear the collar. Don’t use the same hardware on the different size leashes meant for different sized dogs.

Very nice quality. I ordered this for trialing in Barn Hunt and Agility where my dogs have to run 'naked'. The leash is quite nice and everything, I just found the martingale to be a little more to fumble with than a regular slip lead when I'm trying to exit the ring quickly. Probably just personal preference I suppose but I'll be sticking to a regular slip lead for trials from now on, but will still use this one occasionally for other stuff. :)

While the leashes are good quality, I would not order again from Mendota because they shipped me the wrong leashes (clip leashes) , even though the receipt said Martingales, which I had ordered. I wrote to the company and tried to reach them through Amazon, but got no response.Terrible customer service, now I am stuck with leashes I did not order, and had to pay again to get the correct ones.

Like how easy it is to slip on and use. Love the colour!Dislike the label that product contains toxins (forgot the exact words). The label could have been clearer & less alarming if it states that tanning or colour process utilized toxic substances. This will be better understood for customers not in the region where this needs to be stated by law. Please convey to manufacturer.Deducted only 1 star because of this, it took me some research before I assumed the warning is due to tanning & colour that may not continue to affect my dog. This is won on my dog’s skin and neck, I have to be very sure!

This leash with the built in martingale color, is very nice. Light weight and nicely made with leather bits. I use it everytime I walk my dog. It also dries quickly whichever is important when you live in an area with a lot of rain. My dog did step into the very long loop at first so I did a workaround by applying a rubber band. I would buy it again.

Great leash! Super handy to have in the car especially and awesome for my nervous dog has the martingale keeps her from slipping her collar!

This is a nice leash except that there was a label on it stating that the leather pieces contain a substance which might be carcinogenic.

Really a beautiful product! In love with Mendota leashes!!
