flexiNew Classic Cord Black Retractable Dog Cat Lead XS 8kg - 3m (10ft)

Great lead, works well the extra 2mtr length helps a lot giving your dog more freedom but you have control, great if your dog has high prey drive or can be difficult with some other dogs, can see the lead from a good distance away, helps the good dog owners see in advance and they can get there dogs back on lead promptly, a great lead, very slightly heavier than the 8mtr, but you don't really notice this. Only down side is no dedicated poo bad holder location, but you can just clip one on the handle. Locking mechanism is good and seems strong

The media could not be loaded. We’re really impressed with this Flexi retractable lead! Right away, it felt more durable and better built than our last one. The materials are tough, the chrome clip is secure, and the handle is comfy to hold—even during long walks or when Leo gets a bit too enthusiastic. The 8-metre length is ideal for giving him space to roam and enjoy himself, especially when he’s chasing waves by the shore, while still keeping him safe and manageable.It’s a sleek, reliable, and well-designed lead that we’d happily recommend to anyone needing something strong and dependable.

I think they are about the best in the market -but not perfect.The cord is getting so thin that can cut like a fishing line; why not make it reflective even when dirty, after few uses the cord turns grey and invisible.When walking the handle clicks as the cord moves creating an unnecessary click-clack noise.They are light and they last a dog and a half.

Excellent lead - and you can use a harness with a dog seat belt attachment for even more length, when you are away from trafficVersion bought: flexi Giant Professional L Tape 10 m black/ neon yellow [10 meter version]This is an excellent durable lead, though the "flexi Giant Professional L Tape 10 meter" is rather large and heavy at 890 grams on my scales. If that doesn't put you off, then for a dog which cannot be let off a lead, like mine could not, then walks in the countryside, woods or in a park with this 10 meter lead and a harness attached to a dog seat belt attachment - giving a total length of about 11 meters (and a more comfortable experience than a collar connection) - might be the closest thing to true freedom that your dog can feel.Given that the "L Tape 10 m" lead is quite large, heavy and expensive, particularly at or near its full price, I would imagine that the less expensive 8 meter versions - "Medium" or "L Tape 8 m" depending on whether the dog is under 25kg or under 50kg - together with the harness and dog seat belt attachment, should also offer a very good experience, and are no more expensive than many other 8 meter leads when on offer. Some of those other 8 meter leads might seem like better value for money, but often don't perform as well or last nearly as long, so are actually a false economy compared to these flexi leads. (The "Extra Large" 8 meter lead for dogs up to 75kg is also quite expensive, but so might it's competitors be for that weight category.) But this 10 meter one really would be my choice for offering ultimate freedom for dogs up to 50kg, especially if it's on offer and you don't mind the size and weight. For me personally, it might have felt like a hit in the pocket when I clicked on the "Buy" button, but it was sooo worth it - as I think that my dog experienced years of extra freedom from that additional 2 meters of length, long after I'd forgotton about that one-time expense.I found this lead to be strong, sturdy and easy to operate, with an intuitive and reliable locking/unlocking mechanism. It was easily able to manage being pulled on by my 25kg-30kg dog for years of use.A couple more points: I would not recommend using an extendable lead like this with a harness and seat belt attachment if you are going to be walking along the street or near traffic - as that extra meter or so is non-retractable and your dog could dart out unexpectedly. (The beach might also be more awkward if there are many other dogs around and not much space.) You can, of course, attach it to your dog's collar for those occasions. However, I'd recommend getting another shorter lead, such as a 5 meter extendable lead, for shorter walks where the intention isn't to exercise your dog, given that this lead (the 10 meter version) is somewhat large and heavy. Personally, I can highly recommend the Cool Bud "smartelf Retractable Dog Leash Heavy Duty Walking Lead for Small Medium Large Dogs Up to 110lbs" [50kg] here on Amazon, as these two - along with a sturdy short chain-link lead - were my leads and I was very happy with all of them.

Great quality and ease of use, ideal for my little dog. Plenty of length for him to canter along. Easy to handle.

Love this extendable lead ... we had a 5 metre tape lead but decided as his recall was selective at the moment we need to keep him on the lead for a while thus we needed a slightly longer length. The rope is strong and gives him just enough extra to be happy and we can keep control....all good and love the blue and comfortable to hold as not too big like the tape retractable leads
