This is a great leash. It is the tape style and it works much smoother than the cord type. Plus there is less chance of rope burn if this gets wrapped around a bare leg.

I was a little nervous to use this retractable type leash after reading the warnings all over the packaging and the insert. Things like burning or cutting your skin if this thing snaps back on you. So when I tried it I was pretty cautious, but I soon got the hang of it. I did find that my dog got it wrapped around his legs several times..don't know if that was my fault or not. In the beginning, the lock was hard to engage.
I did like that my dog had more room to roam and was not pulling me as much because of this. By the way, I have a 9 month old Golden Retriever named Jack. In his opinion, no leash is a good leash.

This is the second Flexi leash I've purchased. They are both of excellent quality. However, this item is NOT as pictured. This 16' Large 110lb. leash does not come with the foot-long strap between the end of the cord and the collar latch -- it also does not have the cord as shown. It has a retractable tape, which works well, but there is always a slight pull from the retraction mechanism. My 23' Med. 44lb. Flexi leash looks like the one pictured and works better.

Since we are NYC apartment dwellers we walk our Catahoula three times a day, minimum. If you have ever run into other doggy friends and had those string-type leashes get all twisted up together you will truly appreciate having a nice soft cloth tape to grab instead of string. I thought it would be thicker since it's for dogs up to 110 lbs but seems to be holding up well.

We've been using this leash for about 10 months now and have not had any issues. It's sturdy and durable, and still holds and retracts without issue. The clasp is good quality.

I'd give this a solid 4. The only con is that it's a little on the heavy side, but I got used to that and I think it's a necessary element to provide the sturdiness and support of the leash. I almost went with a 23' leash but I'm glad I didn't, this is the perfect length...long enough for my pooch (an active Lab who likes to sniff everything) to roam around, but not too long where it would get tangled on things or she'd get too far ahead. I was hesitant about getting the leash type because my only experience was with the cord, but I like it as well as the cord one that I use for my smaller dog. My lab is a puller at times and I've had no problems with the leash in that regard. I'm happier for her that she has more room to roam on walks, she enjoys herself more...so it's a win win situation, she gets to roam and I still know she's safe.

This is the third of the Flexi leashes I've purchased and by far the best. Initially I was concerned that it would be heavier than I like. but it is comfortable in my hand and doesn't start to feel heavy after holding it for awhile.

The ribbon is a great improvement. It feels much safer and it glides quietly and smoothly. Mine seems to get a little twisted on the walk and I'm not sure why. There is a very good swivel hook at the top that should prevent this, but the plus side is that it untwists very easily and doesn't present a problem.

I'd highly recommend this leash. If it lasts as long as the others did, it will be with me for years to come.

I have purchased far to many leashes over the years but this one is the best for my 15-20lb dogs. It is strong, durable and reliable.

I was very, very disappointed when I received the product: though the title description was the same as on-line the picture was completely different. Picture shows a short tape lead and a rope shaped primary leash. That was what I wanted and ordered. What I got was all tape leash, which will not work for me: the dog chews through the tape leash, thus I wanted the rope style as pictured.

I was happy with the leash at first, it worked well. We have had it a little more than a month and the clasp broke off the end. Our dog is only 75 pounds and the leash is rated for 110. So I would not recommend this leash.
