Default OT?: Retractable Leashes


True or false:
Flexi makes a good R-leash at a reasonable price

Anybody got a feel for whether a belt or a cord R-leash might
be the more durable given very active pooches?

Thanks,
Peetie

Define "good" and "reasonable."

You'd do better to post this to *behavior.

That said, I would not walk a dog on a retractable lead unless she
is first well trained and well mannered on-lead. And then, I'd opt
for an all-belt type lead, as those are less likely to get tangled
if something *does* happen.

...............ayup! An active pooch needs to know where the end of the
leash is!
