Max and Neo Triple Handle Traffic Dog Leash Reflective - We Donate a Leash to a Dog Rescue for Every Leash Sold (Black)

Use for our energetic husky lab mix who is very strong. Love the 3 handles that give different levels of control when needed. Does make it a bit heavier but for a bigger dog, it works great. Been using for 3 months so far and it’s been perfect. We have already ordered another colour!

We adopted a second dog, and he's kind of a handful. He came from a bad situation, so he is scared of almost everything. (The other day, he was sleeping in my office and then suddenly started growling and barking at a piece of paper that was blowing in the breeze from the ceiling fan. And he barks at his reflection in glass. He's just super jumpy right now.) This makes walks super fun :-\ We use a flexi-leash with our other dog because he's more calm and easy to reel in when needed, but needed something different for this second dog.Whenever people ride by on bikes, or there are kids running by, or there's a shadow, he wants to run up and bark. So I knew I needed something to help me easily pull him closer. The handle on his harness was nice, but when you're 4-6 feet away [length of the leash] and he's a squirrelly little 9-lb ball of energy, it's hard to grab him, especially if you have short t-rex arms like I do. I figured I'd have the same problem with leashes that have only a second handle down near the dog. And, I noticed that the short handle is often very short, because those leashes are often sized for big dogs that are much taller than a 9-lb spastic little dog.I searched and searched and searched. And I found this, with THREE handles! Freaking magnificent. I ordered it, because basically there were no other satisfactory options :) I was worried I'd hate it, b/c I worry about things and b/c I had no other options I liked. But I am definitely happy with it!The handles are all kind of padded. Not so padded as to be too thick and hard to grab, but not rope-feeling. They just feel nice. I have small hands and short fingers, but I have no problem keeping a good grip on this (even while holding my other dog's flexi-leash handle). The leash itself feels sturdily built, but is not heavy in terms of actual weight like many leashes are. And it's nice and flexible, not super stiff. Our previous 'normal' leash that we were using was only 4' and felt much heavier and stiffer, but no more secure than this one. I was worried that with the extra length and handles, it would be heavy and stiff and uncomfortable, but I'm really pleased with the feel of this leash. And it's wide, which at first I felt meh about, but it seems like it's easier for my dog to untangle himself whenever he accidentally steps across the leash. He doesn't seem to mind this leash at all.The longest 6' handle is a nice length to let him sniff around and explore a bit and find a suitable bathroom spot. The medium length is fairly easy to grab even with my short arms and clumsy nature -- I just pull back on the longest handle and reach forward with my other hand, and I can grab it. It's nice for when there are cars nearby and I need to make extra sure he doesn't get excited stray off the path. Sometimes I walk holding both handles (one in each hand...while holding my other dog's leash in one hand too) for extra control and training. And the shortest handle is easy to grab once you have the medium handle in your hand. And it's not too short! I can hold him by the shortest handle, and he can still have all his feet on the ground without straining. It keeps him right at my side (good for calming him or getting full control, or for when I need to pick him up and shield his face from a situation). Also, the extra handles don't flop around or add awkward weight in weird places or get in the way when you're not using them.There's also a D-ring (you can see it in the main pics), which is nice. I got the "Urban Pets Hands Free Dog Poop Bag Holder" [https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01BA4496A/] to clip on, so I wouldn't have to carry 2 leashes and 2 bags of poop. (You could also clip an accessory bag onto it, or keys, or whatever, but we have a great accessory bag on the flexi-leash already.)I might get a second leash for our other dog, especially for use in the winter when I wear gloves. It seems like it'd be easier to hold onto two of these leashes (esp since you can loop them onto your arm) than holding onto the flexi-leash plus this. But that's just b/c I worry too much :)TLDR: Excellent leash, get it! Seriously just get it. Design, quality, and price are all excellent.

I never knew I needed the triple handle feature before I got this leash. The extra weight took some getting used to since I was using light nylon leashes before this, but it doesn't fray easily and is very well-made. It definitely helps that Max and Neo is one of the few animal companies that donate significantly to charities and every purchase helps shelter animals!

I have a dog of my own and also walk a few neighbors' dogs. This leash makes it so easy to keep the dogs under control, especially if you have multiple larger dogs. I love that there are three handles and a D-ring near the top. I use the D-ring to hook the poop bag holder, a training clicker, and a carabiner clip. The leash super sturdy and doesn't show any wear or tear a few months in using every day, multiple times a day.

Having the 3 handles on this leash is awesome!! The handles are super comfortable too. Highly recommend.
