ThunderLeash Retractable No-Pull Dog Leash

Little background about my dog first. He's about 50 pounds all muscle. He's a mut so I couldn't tell you exactly what he is but definitely some terrier possibly mixed with a dingo? Either way he's very strong in a compacted shape. He's very playful and doesn't mind going from a slow walk to a full sprint to see a friend in the neighborhood. He used to not care if he only had 16 feet he'd yank himself clear of the ground and get right back up to try it again. This lead to me goofily trying to run with him in my work atire and my poor dog choking himself. With concern of serious damage occurring I gave this lease a chance.This lease is perfect for my type of dog. He stil runs but no longer am I concerned about his neck. He has also begun to recognize the snugness of the harness as he will put on the brakes and no longer attempt to run.The lease itself feels sturdy and solid. I wouldn't recommend this for dogs that aren't strong walkers as the harness has some weight to it. I definitely recommend it to playful runners and for people who want a little more control.

Used this about 10 times and our 80 lb. golden retriever snapped the cord. We bought the leash that was "supposed" to be for XL dogs up to 100 lbs. I definitely wish I could get my money back on this one. It did help control my dog's pulling on the leash, but the cord itself is just as cheap as the leashes at the dollar store. I would expect more for a $50 leash...

My dog stopped pulling only when he's walking alongside/in front of me. This leash apparently is designed for pulling ONLY from when the dog is in front of you. It wasn't prepared for my dog, he goes north, south, east and west all at the same time so I often pull him back from an awkward angle. Sometimes while he's facing me, which is the worst direction by the way. it will alter the whole purpose of the leash and give your dog more room to "fight back". Otherwise I can definitely see this leash being successful with dogs that only pull ahead of you.But THEN with the retraceable tape... I'd recommend you to get the regular leash model. I was shocked at how thin the retraceable tape is. Keep in mind I got a small and the size could differ with med/L/++, so check that first before making your decision. The tape constantly twists too, it was annoying to untwist because if I don't do that, it will not slide back into the holder.If you find this helpful, please give me some kudos! Thank you!

I have a very stubborn puller, pit bull-american bulldog mix, and prong collars, front attach harnesses, and head haltis do not work on her. This product is very easy to put on her. It squeezes the sides by her armpits if she pulls and she finally finds this squeezing unappealing and it is the one thing that works. The one thing I wish about the retractable leash part is that it had a rope instead of flat leash. The ropes don't twist and turn and prevent retraction like the flat ones do. I only like retractable leashes for trails and when fully extended it does allow the dog to pull somewhat because you're further away and have less control. But the closer she is to me and the less extended it is, it works best.

I ordered this leash because I loved the idea that it would not pull on the dog's neck. It works great and my Australian Shepard does not pull while on the leash which is great. The part I do not like is the actual leash -- it is narrow and twists every time we are out so hard to reel back in when done. The material used is not of a sturdy type and appears that a dog could chew right through it if given the opportunity.

This is the BEST leash ever! My large dog (great dane/pointer) who loves to PULL does wonderfully with this leash. Regular harnesses don't work for him because he reaches down and chews the front part right off. The Gentle Leader (over the nose) doesn't work because he shakes his head and is completely annoyed. The Thunder Leash works though! Make sure you don't get it too tight around your dog's chest and I prefer doing a quick (jerk) pull, like you would with a pinch collar, rather than a sustained pull. I've gone through several of these over the years and I am very grateful that they are available. I love that it's an extendo leash too, because even at the full extension, I still have control. I can't recommend this enough. It's worth every penny.

This really does work. My dog cannot pull out of it, which is a small miracle, because he can pull out of nearly everything. Having said that, the thing is cheaply made. The space for your hand is too small to hold comfortably and the retraclable leash part is so thin and narrow that keeping it untwisted as it retracts is a full time job. Come on guys, try harder please!

My dog doesn't pull away from me as much as he's still training. He has a tendency to run off if he sees another dog or a loose cat. This leash is great to get him to listen while on a leash.If I have one complaint, it's in the retractable part of the leash. As quality as the leash part is, the material that retracts into the handle could be made of a sturdier material.I've read complaints about the retractable part of the leash breaking under extreme or repeated stress, and I can understand why that is. I think if the entire leash was made up of the same sturdy material, it would be so much better. Even if it made the unit cost more, it would be a small price to pay for a leash that won't break under everyday stress.

works really well. this is my favourite leash and we have tried a number of them
