Anyone ever see a flexi leash longer than 26 feet? Or is that as long as it
gets?

When I see one longer than 15 feet, I just want to pull out my scissors, so
I probably shouldn't have responded to this thread :-)

26' is the longest I've seen. Why are you looking for something
longer?

Note: you need to be walking in an open field if you plan to use
a flexi extended much more than standard leash length (5-6').
And a long, extended flexi just multiplies the opportunities for
getting wrapped around poles, bushes, and other people's legs.

I do use a flexi when walking Oppie, but I keep control of the
length and only let it all the way out when no one else is
around. And yes, it does occasionally get wrapped around a pole
or a bush - a "back up" or "other way" command is a useful one to
have trained in these situations.

It will mainly be used for my own property. It will also be used cautiously
at the state park, when no one is around and only in the big open field
part.

As for the crazy NYer's you deal with, what are they thinking?

I think it work better for walks than the 50 ft cotton training lead I use
with Cali (when on our property and at selective areas of the state park).

the two places that I would use it are pretty ideal places for it, limited
bushes, trees, very limited other people, etc

I taught Cali "go around" after a recommendation from someone on here. Maui
knows "back up" (mostly away from food and doors since he's rarely leashed).
I have to work on teaching "back up" to Cali though.

Ah, that makes much more sense

That assumes thought in the first place.
