He hardly stretched this leash at all. Instead what happened was I was still getting pulled along, but could not pull back to slow him because with that extra force it finally did start to stretch. So in other words I lost all control, but still got dragged forward.
It did eliminate the jolt, and it is certainly a very well made and strong leash. For a really strong dog I imagine it would do a little better. That, or maybe if I had gotten the size leash made for a smaller dog it would have had more give when he pulled.
Overall a very nice leash, but just didn't work for me.I bought this leash as an alternative to my retractable leash for my 20 pound Xolo and now find myself using it on all our walks. The handle is very comfortable and easy to hold. The leash is a good length--some might find it on the short side, but it won't drag on the ground, which often happens with smaller dogs. The flexible mid-section is what really sets this leash apart from others. It provides enough give to be flexible, but enough resistance to discourage constant pulling and it helps to soften the impact of sudden lunges courtesy of our neighborhood squirrels. Like the handle, the stretchy section is easy on the hands. The loop towards the bottom is a great way to keep your dog close and under control when needed. My dog walks fairly well on a leash with some tendency to pull and lunge when excited. If you have a sled dog wannabe, I'm not sure how this leash will work, although I imagine it would still be an improvement over conventional leashes.I love this leash. That little bit of bungee effect really helps if the dog does pull.
But my favorite part is the smaller loop hold, when you want to keep the dog close to you.
The handle is very comfortable in your hand.
My favorite leash by FAR!This is a great product by ROK Straps; best dog leash I've ever purchased for the value at Amazon. Really well made elastic material.
