Kurgo Black 2.0 Quantum Dog Leash, 6 ft.

I love this leash! We have an 8 lb service dog for my teenage son and sometimes it’s nice to have Hands free. I love how easy it is to change he length of this leash. I studied all of the different adjustable leashes on the market and most of them seemed like a total pain to change or pulled to a longer length of a dog put any pressure on the leash. This one is perfect. It is a heavy leash which would be very appropriate for a large dog and is definitely overkill for our little pup, but is so comfortable and convenient that I don’t mind the extra weight. I also LOVE show refective it is. The reflective strips really work greet and will go a long way to protect my son and his dog while walking after dark. I highly recommend this leash! I have also used it on two dogs at a time and it’s fabulous.

I've had the Quantum leash for six weeks. I purchased it to walk my 65 pound German shepherd on my property. Before I received this product, I had sprained my wrist several times by the dog pulling on a regular leash when she sees something she wants to chase. She had gotten away from me many times; I had to worry for hours whether she would be hit by a car (speed limit 55 mph near my house) or if I would be able to find her first. She loves to chase squirrels or the deer or rabbits who frequent our yard. Since I've been using the Kurgo leash, that I so conveniently attach to my waist, she hasn't gotten away from me. She KNOWS she CAN'T get away from me. I love it because we can run or just go for a leisurely walk. It is the greatest invention; Kurgo has made a very durable and versatile product. I am basically "wearing" my dog. Unless she drags me down the street with her, she has realized that she isn't going anywhere other than beside me while I am wearing the Kurgo. It's hands free. I've never felt freedom like this before while walking my dog. I have the freedom to be in control of the dog. She walks beside me now, or mostly behind me. Without pulling. Before this, I tried every type of collar and leash out there, none of them were right for us. This product is very well made. I absolutely recommend this product.

Ok so this is the first review I’ve felt the need to write in awhile. I’m giving it 4 stars not because it is good, but because you can make it good. With a tiny amount of DIY.Like most of the other reviewers say. The carabiner on the end that connects back to the leash is absolute garbage. In the “no but forreal” kind of way. I honestly can’t believe Kurgo put this out with that trash on it. It straight up isn’t functional with it. Within an hour of receiving I had cut it off with a dremel and gone to the hardware store to purchase a replacement.The good news is.. that works perfectly. The loop that attaches to the carabiner is wide enough that I just popped on a 250lb steel carabiner from Lowe’s. It cost me round about 2$.The best part of this leash over other leashes of this style is the loop system. You can truly do about anything with it. The loops make it so that you can make the leash as long or as short as desired. Which for me is perfect as I have a puppy in training. It’s also much easier to use round the waist because it’s essentially adjustable.Other reviewers have mentioned that it’s not long enough to actually use messenger style (over the shoulder). Which is true..ish. The fact is that there is too many variables. The height of the person. The width of the person. The height of the dog. The amount of acceptable length of lead for your pup. If you are a tall person and a short dog. You’re going to need a leash extension. They could have made it longer and it would have worked for everyone, but it would have become annoyingly long if you were trying to use it as a short leash. I honestly prefer it the length it is for one reason. Using it messenger style I like being able to add a “shock absorbing” leash extension. I don’t like those most of the time but I do when I use it like this.The leash might be a bit on the heavy side for the really tiny pups out there. I have an approximately 8lb CKC Spaniel pup. The pup has no problems with the weight, but the wife thinks it’s heavy? Not sure how that works, but I’m being honest here.The reflective material runs the length of the lead and seems to work just fine. I have no issues with the quality of the fabric or even the hook bit that attaches to my pups collar. It’s just the carabiner on the other end that’s garbage.The last thing I want to mention is the pad that is included for the ‘handle’. I hate it... unless I’m using it messenger style. Then it’s better than not having it. Using it as pictured as the handle part on a normal leash is awkward as all get out. It just bunches up and gets in the way.Why give it four stars if I’m hating on it so much? I honestly like the leash a lot.. the loop system is great. They just dropped the ball on production. If you are willing and able to cut off the carabiner and replace it. I’d say give it a go. If not there are certainly other 6 in1 leashes out there, but for the cost of this leash and a 2$ carabiner this one is still cheaper than most of the others. The pad is a gimmick, but is decent for your shoulder messenger style. If you never plan on using it messenger style just pitch it.

So I've owned this leash for the better part of three years. I recently purchased another because I've been so happy with it. BUT- you have to know how to use it! Although there is a feature to attach the carabiner like clip to the leash's nylon holders, I DO NOT USE IT (very often). I've simply slipped the entire leash through the carabiner clip and it slides along the main stretch of leash. People who are using the nylon loop holders have had it give out, that's why I've don't normally use them. My dog walks in heel very well so the few times I have used them there wasn't a large amount of strain on the nylon or fabric. If you have a dog that pulls I wouldn't use the loop holders and you may want to buy a leash with a D or O ring instead. Yes, there is a sliding shoulder pad that, if you align it correctly, serves its purpose. But, after long wear it will slide up and down out of place and need to be readjusted. Lastly, I've never used the snap function to form a leash like handle. The snaps don't really hold well so I've subtracted that usage from the leash's versatility. HOWEVER- if you use the leash like I've described then you can get a good few years out of it, easily. There will be wear and some of the nylon can become stringy (after a lot of use; My service dog and I used it on a daily basis for many years). But to me, it's a wonderful, useful product, I just wouldn't perhaps use it like originally intended. And, this isn't a leash for pullers or a leash with a 'normal' leash like function. Other than that it's a wonderful product and I've been happy with it. Hope this helps potential buyers. :)
