Black

I purchased this item rather impulsively now that spring is arriving and I'm taking my beloved Havanese, Ernie with me just about everywhere I roam. Ernie and I are also contemplating a few extensive road trips. Ernie must be securely tethered into his rear-seat doggie car seat, especially after I survived a very serious auto accident...first one ever...this past December and totaled a truck. Fortunately, Ernie was not with me. I wanted an extender to attach to the very short one that is part of Ernie's secure car seat. I purchased the Yangbaga for this purpose. So, this is a great, sturdy, secure & attractive bungee-cord type "shock absorbing" leash extender. It is extremely well made but IMHO, this extender is waaaaay too big, heavy and bulky for my 20-lb Havanese. The plated clip on the end of the extender is huge...seems to weigh a ton. I cannot imagine tethering Ernie into his doggie car seat with this thing for any extended period of time. I gifted the extension to my neighbor, who owns a rather unruly, VERY STRONG, one year old, 65-lb male lab. Nice item but it didn't work for us.

Thus far works great. Have one for a 12 lb and one for a 70 lb. The big one like to pull real hard and run around in swamps. Use both mainly on 20ft retractable leashes and harnesses. Real shoulder saver for the big guy (for him and me). The little one chokes from pulling much less. No issues yet with rusting, drying out, etc. Great product thus far, did exactly what I was looking for for each of our little dudes. --- Update: Have one less... And one more dog since my last review. Have used two large and one small size. The bright green is easy to find in a pile in the back seat. I think my 6 mths old puppy may have broken our new one a bit.. but it still works fine. I like to use a carabiner around my belt l attached to this, and a leash connected between this and the dog as a back up attachment for our new puppy. She's a puller. A runner. And 40 lbs of muscle and growing. I use this to protect both of our shoulders (and hips. And backs). The smaller one, I use the same way for our Sausage Chihuahua. This one is to give his Lil' body a break if I accidentally step on his lead or ... Whatever else may happen. Really stopped my shoulder from hurting like hell after walks with the bigger pullers.

My application was initially at the end of a flexi expandable leash just to keep my very large half grown puppy from yanking my shoulder so hard when she saw a squirrel or bunny on the trail. Did not work for this, it is heavier that the expandable tape style leash and would sag to the ground just enough when retracting to get under her leg, part of the reason I hike with a retractable, to allow some exploring without tangling my dogs leg as it comes and goes. My wife now uses it at the end of a conventional leash for her dog. I seems like it will last, good quality and works as described to soften the leash pull. Not terribly heavy but heavier than expected, does not mesh well with a light weight leash, also doesn’t stretch much. Good product that will maybe work well for some things, just not good application for my needs.

Material is strong and thick. Flexibility is tight, but that’s a good thing for its purpose. It won’t over extend if your dog suddenly rushes out after a squirrel it’ll give a little and same for when I seat belt her harness in the car in case of accident I feel better knowing even though she’s got a harness that it’ll help her not jolt and reduce risk of fracturing her chest bone etc. I’m impressed and wished I bought the dual set. I will say that if you have a dog that jolts I would walk with a harness no pull because no matter what any force even while this absorbs a lot is bad to their cervical/neck and could cause long term issues in future.

The green one is very noticeable so that should help with visibility at night even though it is not reflective. It does not extend to the 23" advertised; just 21.5"; measuring from tip of ring to tip of the clip. But that is not enough to cause me to downgrade it. As others have indicated, it is pretty stiff. I am hoping that changes over time as it is repeatedly stretched by the dog. Once that happens; if it happens; it seems to me it will be more gentle at slowing the dog down when he reaches the limit of the combination leash and extension. It seems to be real well made and should hold up over time. The weight seems pretty fine even for our 15 pound little dog.

It works great. It keeps him from pulling so hard.

I wanted to use this with an extender leash, which I use to exercise my dog in my unfenced yard. However, it seems to be too heavy for the extender leash. First, the extender makes the leash sag near the dog, so that he's always getting his feet tangled in the leash. And since the extender leash rewind spring is calibrated for the light cable or ribbon of the leash itself, it slows retractions and that too results in tangles as the dog moves around. It seems to work ok otherwise, but I didn't use it for long.. too much of a nuisance to keep untangling the dog. I do think it would likely be fine for short-leash walks.

I hook this to my leash this and use a heavy duty carabiner to hook the other end to my belt loop. Thus creating a waist leash without actually having to wrap anything around my waist. It is a failsafe in case I drop the leash from my hand (I volunteer at a shelter, so there are a lot of big dogs that like to pull like crazy).

Pierde elasticidad muy pronto

My dog is 20lbs and sometimes decides she wants to sprint at a bird, this helps the shock and not dislocate my entire arm haha

Great product, I should have gotten it sooner. Has really help in stopping back pain from walking my dog. The only thing I would change is to not have it stretch out so far before it hit the limiter

Perfect length for what I wanted just a shame the elasticated section has almost no resistance. Sort of does thr job

Nice appearance but useless: not stretchy enough to make any difference and clasp is heavy and cumbersome. I bought a super cheap one on Aliexpress for a fraction of the price and although not as good "quality" (ie cheaper, lighter materials), it works better than this one.
