“The leads are 10m long, have strong retract springs and more importantly a good locking device. To immediately restrict the dog you simply hold the big button with your thumb. When required at this stage if for example walking down a busy road simply push your thumb forward onto the second smaller button to perminantly lock the lead and use as a conventional lead. We keep ours on 3 to 4 ft max when on a main road. All locking mechanisms are reliable. Well worth paying the extra to keep your pooches safe while out walking. After buying one we then went a bought a 2nd. Don't be fooled by the cheaper leads out there. Your dogs life matters.

“So much easier to walk my very reactive Doberman with this retractable lead as it gives him some freedom but is strong enough if I have to hold him back from charging off after squirrels/ foxes etc !!!”
“I got the 10m Giant Professional Flexi Lead after much deliberation.
I needn't have worried. The retractable lead/tape is a very good sturdily responsive bit of engineering and the carrier is pleasingly heavy but comfortable and easy to carry. You never know when you might need to hit somebody or something (in self or dog defence) and this would definitely do the job. Peace of mind. Thank you.”
