Sweetie Rope Dog Lead - Innovative Design with Two Padded Handles - Reflective Stitching & O-Ring - 5 FT Long Leash for Medium & Large Sized Pets - Weather Resistant & Strong Material. Orange

I am the owner of a fifteen year old Border Collie, and although he's maybe showing his age a bit, he's a big lad for a BC, with a lot of upper body strength, and still can pull on the leash, especially when he sees a friend or someone shows him some attention. Therefore, a strong lead is an essential item in keeping him under control. This lead is really well made, constructed of similar material to that of mountaineering rope, with a cushioned, comfortable handle, and also has another loop closer to the reassuringly sturdy clasp, which is really useful in restraining the dog, or pulling it close to prevent it from rearing up at people or at other dogs.I am very pleased with my purchase - this lead is good value for money, will probably outlast my dog (sadly), and is totally fit for purpose. No hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending this lead.

This is a brilliant lead, particularly if you have a reactive dog like mine who needs to be pulled close on occasion. The whole lead is comfy in the hand, is a good length to give the dog freedom to sniff but the additional handle and thickness of the lead in hand gives you great control when you need to have it. One thing to be aware of is, as the second handle is fixed, you do need to be aware of distance between your hand and your dog. I'm 5ft 8 and my dog is around a foot/foot and a half high. When grabbing the second handle I have to stoop slightly. It's not a big deal for me as the whole length of the rope is easy to grab and use to get more control, and I can still use the 2nd handle on occasion if I need him to tight heel. Might be an issue tho if you're six foot with a short dog! I'm not taking a star off for it as, honestly, would seem churlish when it's such a brilliant lead. Would be great if the manufacturers could make a couple of different lead options with 2nd handle positioned for different distances between walkers hand and dogs collar tho! All in all, best lead I've ever owned. Definitely recommended.

High quality, two handle lead. Stretches. Comfortable, padded handles, positioned so that lead can comfortably be held with one hand in each. Helps prevent dog pulling. Best lead I've owned.

I bought this so that I could continue lead training my springer spaniel pups. I bought one to check firstly how it was going to work out and secondly they are being trained separately at the moment anyway.I though the traffic handle is ok but just a little too close to the dog for it to be helpful in training when slacking the lead off. It works well though when keeping control.One of the reviews mentioned being careful when the length of the lead is being used especially if you let the dog run free as it’s likely to get caught on the traffic lead part of it and I wholeheartedly agree with this. Even when you have hold of the dog the traffic lead handle does tend to catch the floor because it’s so close to the dogs collar.That aside it’s perfectly fine, seems sturdy and has good comfortable grips on the handles and a reasonable price too. I won’t be buying another one but I’ll continue using the one I bought when I think I need to. I’ve given mostly 5 stars except for the overall score which I’ve given a 4 because of the issues I have raised.

Good strong lead. Second handle very useful for instant shortening availability.

it's great, strong, the short lead works a treat at road crossings or when you need more control.Would DEFINITELY recommend.

I couldn't believe how well-priced this lead was, because a lot of the ones I used to buy in pet stores or vet surgeries would climb upwards of £20 for a decent lead. Our dogs are Labs and we like a nice sturdy lead with some cushioning so that it doesn't hurt out hands if they pull (Labs tend to want to be involved in everything).I bought two bright orange ones to make them easier to see. They come with small reflective strips all up the lead, which is good if you're out in the evening, but you may need to wash the lead if it gets dirty to make sure they stay visible. The lead comes with a small loop for making the lead tighter if you need to hold your dog near a busy road (always good with excitable dogs or puppies) and a comfy handle. The rope lead part can be a little rough but you generally don't need to hold it with the mini-loop there to give you a little more control.Other leads I've had have snapped when one of our Labs jumps excitedly out of the back of the car. Well, sir, this one does not. It's remained strong despite an energetic Lab being attached to the end. It also comes with a handy little 'O' ring, which is a metal ring that you can attach a clip to, should you need to seatbelt your dogs in the back of the car (which is what we use it for). You could also use it to attach things you want your dog to carry, such as a water bottle, etc. The O rings have held well and haven't snapped.Overall, perfect for what we needed. Strong, reflective, with a mini handle and an attachment so you can keep your dogs safe in the car. What more could you want? It's a great price too.Just as an aside, we used ours on two large female Labs (one lead each) that weigh around 30 kgs or less. I can't say how effective this would be on a much larger or heavier dog (such as a Newfie or Mastiff) so proceed at your own risk. For our dogs, however, it's perfect.

Great lead - we actually ended up buying a 2nd one for our other dog - would definitely recommend
