TrustyPaw Retractable Dog Leash - Adjust the Length with Greater Ease than any Other Leash - Top Quality Locking System and ABS Plastic - BONUS Poop Bag Dispenser with Bags Included

I have arthritis in my hands. Other leases that I have purchased in the past had a push down button release. My thumb was not strong enough to push the button on my 18 lb little rescue. He broke my ring finger a few years ago. Three weeks ago - he yanked the leash and I fell down steps backwards on my porch hitting my head and my bottom. I immediately searched for a leash without that stupid button! This one slides forward easily to lock or release. I am very pleased! If you have hand problems - I recommend this lease to control your fur friend.

Well it is definitely durable haha. I accidentally dropped on our hardwood floor when I opened it & it was perfectly fine. I bought this leash for our new teacup Maltipoo. He’s just under 3 lbs so he has a hard time pulling the leash further out so I just extend it out & lock it so he’s not straining himself. I’m sure in a few months when he’s gained another pound or so that he’ll be able to get it figured out.UPDATE::: So it broke. Kinda surprised by that. It was working great and then I took my dog out and the leash wasn’t retracting and I realized the spring or whatever reels it back in, broke. My dog is now 6lbs so it’s not like a big dog was on the end of it.

This is a great retractable leash. I have a small (16 lb) dog. This leash is easy to use one handed. Simple push button lock and release allows you to control the length, shortening and lengthening when necessary. Ergonomically designed handle is comfortable to hold. The leash is a ribbon style, which gives it strength while preventing tangles.

Mechanism to lock into place is a bit funky to get used to. Also, there is a very odd (moldy) smell on the rope of this leash. I soaked the whole thing in some soapy water and it seemed to help a little. Thinking it may just be the plastic or something. I do wish the clasp was a bit larger. Granted, the leash is meant for a small dog, but they could go a size up for better functionality. I have small hands, too! Overall, it is decent for the price and the free poo baggie thing was nice to get. Didn't realize I needed one of those, but it's come in handy.

Pretty good little retractable leash for the price! I was slightly surprised that it wasn’t thicker. My dogs tend to pull a lot so hopefully that won’t be an issue. After two uses I can say that I do recommend it for the time being, and I love that it came with a poop bag holder and clip. The attachment I have on there is clipped on the end of the leash and I bought it separately.

As advertised, nice retractable leash and doesn't get tangled. We have an active Corgi puppy who goes everywhere and it hasn't tangled up yet where the cable enters the case. Only thing is that the hand hole is a bit smaller than I expected and I can only get my fingers in. I don't bother with the poop bag dispenser, just toss it out. I dropped the handle once and the dispense broke into a few pieces and was unusable.

I gave this product 2 stars due to the fact the locking mechanism didn't always work right and I had to fight with it a little bit. It's cheaply made. The poop bag holder keeps falling off and I almost lost it because it's cheaply made. I gave sturdiness and comfort a 5 because those weren't an issue, but durability a 2.

I bought this leash to walk my dachshund and was happy at first. As I used it more I noticed it sometimes tangles when retracting and the mechanism to lock the leash doesn't always stay put. It probably would be fine for a well mannered dog but I would not recommend for a strong willed dog. I have since switched to a more heavy duty retractable leash that is much easier to lock and unlock.
