No-Pull Dog Leash (Small (12 to 25 lbs), Grey)

we have had our beloved dog Bella for three years - she is 85 pounds lab mix - she has a very sweet temperament but - trying to walk her from day one (we adopted her from a shelter when she was 10 months old) has been a challenge to say the least. i would say i have average strength for a 45 year old mom - but - we live about a block away from a park where i regularly walk her - or i should say - she would walk me! lol there are plenty of rabbits and squirrels that she wanted to chase - not to mention runners, other dogs, and even occasionally she would try to take off after a passing truck - every day, either morning walk, or evening walk - i would have rope burns or cuts on my hands from wrapping her rope leash around my hands trying to hold onto her if i would see something coming up - and God help me the times I didnt! after 2 years - and ignoring friends who kept telling me to get one of those spiked choke collars (I just couldnt do it - they look so medieval to me!) i ran into someone at a "Dog Daze" event at a Bass Pro shop - who had this product on his dog - i found out about it by my apologizing to the poor man over and over with my Bella jumping on him in excitement and wagging her tail and trying to run around his ankles and his dog - he laughed and said he didnt mind that his own dog used to be the same way til he bought this leash. With nothing to lose except the pain in my hands and arms - I purchased this - and it is THE BEST purchase I have ever made - inexpensive and COMPLETELY effective!! I actually ENJOY walking her now - she isn't pulling with her whole body weight and half choking herself during the whole walk and she actually just walks at a regular pace next to me! Yes - there have been two or three times in the past 3 weeks that i have had this where she forgets and darts for a squirrel or rabbit - but she stops HERSELF - no more pain in my hands, no arms pulled painfully - I could not be more happy with my purchase and thank GOD i ran into that nice man that day - I would recommend this product to ANYONE who is having a hard time walking their enthusiastic fur-baby - only wish I had found this sooner!!

The leash (Med/LG) is a bit bulky for my pup, though that's due to his size, he's easily in the gray area between small and med/large (beagle mix, larger than a PB), but works. He doesn't seem to mind it, not terribly anyway. Initially he tried to nip the lead, but that stopped within the first 45 seconds of the first walk. He's a very headstrong and scent driven dog, so I was hoping this would curb his quite blatant (albeit hilarious) pulling technique (he has what I refer to as 'Pull Mode,' alters his stance to get the extra 6 inches closer to whatever it is he feels he needs to sniff). It actually does help in that regard, pretty substantially - he still goes into his Pull mode but quickly corrects. It's not completely pull proof and I'm fairly certain it's due to his breeds that it won't really be effective as a training aid to outright stop the pulling, but it works when it's used. Compared to his standard rig, it's night and day. Basically it does what it's supposed to and it comes down to whether I want to spend the walk manually correcting him (which, let's face it, gets exhausting) or letting the ThunderLeash do the work for me. I vote the latter.It works exactly as intended! I think the lead length is fine - frankly if you have a Puller, you shouldn't have them on a really long leash in the first place. I read the couple of reviews that complained they thought the length was too short, for me it's actually a tad longer than what I've been using.The latch or bracket or ring (whatever we want to call it) is easy enough to use, putting it on and taking it off of Pups is easy.I'd recommend it to anyone with a puller, but keep in mind dogs can be stubborn, so this isn't going to transform your canine into an angel, but it will spare you the monotony of constantly correcting.If you're all about the arm workout and patience testing, then skip it.

Instantly life changing! This was fantastic. I had tried other collars, leashes, and harnesses and none of them actually stopped my goldendoodle puppy from pulling. My girl Atlas is HUGE for her age, and is STRONG. She had already broken two fingers, caused trigger finger, sprained a shoulder, and caused multiple other pulling injuries because she was just so strong and would just suddenly pull. I had to do something. Training her was only so effective as it almost seems like she just doesn’t understand her own strength. We needed something immediate while we trained the behavior out. When I put this leash on I was IMMEDIATELY shocked at the difference. She literally could not pull. The second she’d start to, the pressure would stop her. I was able to walk with my arm completely relaxed without fear of it suddenly being yanked out of socket. This was a dog who would pull so much she’d be walking up in two feet, no joke! I could instantly feel a tremendous difference. A few times she actually would turn around and start biting at the leash which I had to correct but that only lasted about ten minutes. She would get frustrated at not being able to pull. The best part though was that it DID calm her down. She sat down beside me and calmly waited which before she found quite hard to do. I feel like I had so much more control. The design, the handle, it all felt comfortable. I would absolutely say the price is worth it! I was a bit worried about spending $30 for a leash but since it doubles as a harness and quite literally works immediately…it’s WELL WORTH IT! Knowing what I know now, I’d pay $60 for it honestly. The handle feels great and I love the color of it. It feels and looks high quality and REALLY WORKS! The only downside to the leash is that when you put it on, sometimes the leash can twist and that may bug some dogs if it “cuts” in on them (I don’t think it would cause any injury or pain or harm, just might be annoying to some).
