The function of a leash is to stay connected to the dog. Whats up with that Premier! NOT COOL! Hope its been redesigned.The closure on the leash is poor. My dog escaped twice before I realized there was a real problem with this leash. The first time I had assumed I didn't get it fully attached to the loop on his collar. The second time he broke free it was a night on a very busy urban street. If he would have wandered off it would have been over! We got back home and my husband and I tested it by attaching the leash to the collar and pulling. The collar repeatedly broke free of the leash with minimal effort. I have not used the leash since and certainly would never buy it again.

I bought this leash at the animal shelter where I adopted my dog. Even though it's only been a week, this leash has come off of his collar twice. As soon as I got my dog safely home, I sat and figured out what the problem is. The reason it pops off is the ring on the collar twists up against the trigger and pushes it back just far enough to release the ring. It WILL happen eventually if the ring gets in the right position. In my case, I was using this leash with a Gentle Leader collar. The ring on that collar is a very small diameter and round. I think this leash might work better with a collar that had a D-ring of a very thick diameter, but I'm not willing to risk it.I have another leash with a smaller more rounded trigger. I tried the same set up and I was unable to pop the trigger.
If you already own this leash, consider replacing it or figuring out a backup method to keep it attached when it does fail.Years ago I had a saxophone neck strap with that exact kind of clasp on it. After about the third time I caught my 1960 Selmer Mark VI tenor by the thumb hook, I scrapped the strap. The problem with that kind of hook is if you attach it to a small ring, the proximal side of the ring can push on the opening mechanism while giving the distal side leverage to push through the opening.
