I ordered this to use with my Welsh Corgi who has a tendency to pull. What I got was a leash that is way too big for a dog of her size. It is incrediably bulky. While I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with a small to medium sized dog, I could see it as being very useful for larger dogs.

The leash is great!! Our dog pulls alot and this leash is so soft that it does not hurt our hands like the usual nylon leashes do. I used to wear gloves just to take my dog for a walk. Now he is less agitated too because my hands are comfortable enough that I can easily control him on this leash! Great great product! I am thinking of buying the same collar for my dog when his old one wears out!

I have the cutest leash and harness! Bridget is so proud and loves showing off this adora-bull set! It washes well and is really sturdy. The fleece lining keeps it nice & soft and the hardware is heavy duty. We got the green, it looks so cute & is environmentally friendly! WOO HOO!

We received our first Planet Dog collar and leash last week. We took our pugs to the park. We were less than six feet from the car when the hook just fell to pieces and our little Molly was loose. Happily she did come to us when we called and we were able to tie the leash onto her collar (not what one expects to have to do with a brand new leash). I view this as a very serious defect. Had we walked straight from our house, which we often do, our pug would have been loose on a very busy road. I would never recommend this to anyone. The hook was all rusty inside. There needs to be some serious quality control/safety checks.

Really excellent and comfortable leash. The only small issue is the size of the clip that attaches it to a collar. We use a gentle leader, and would have preferred a smaller clip (as this one occasionally hits our pup in the face). He doesn't seem to mind much, but it's a consideration, especially if you use a gentle leader on a smaller dog (our dog is 70lbs). If you plan to use a harness or a traditional collar, it will be great!

I use this leash to walk my 50-pound Labrador Retriever who loves to run up to people and dogs, and after leaves, squirrels and birds. The leash offers a comfortable grip that allows me to control my dog without keeling over. I'm so satisfied with this Planet Dog product, I've just purchased a matching hemp collar.

Hemp Leash, Medium, Apple Green / B000AYB4VK

I bought this leash for my 4 month old, 14 pound puppy, to go with the matching collar (sold separately). My puppy loves to pull at his lead and I didn't want to buy a small harness since he'll just outgrow it in a few months... and the medium harness just hangs on him so far. This leash and collar, though, are a good substitute in the meantime.

The fleece on the handle is very soft and gentle and I no longer feel like I have invisible cuts on my hands (unlike the nylon lead we were using before). I was concerned that the fleece/hemp leash would get dirty easily, but so far it still looks like new, even after having been dragged through some mucky water one day. The hemp leash is thick and sturdy and - surprisingly - I feel that my puppy isn't pulling nearly as much as before. And when he does pull, I don't worry so much that he might hurt his little neck, since the collar has fleece to cushion him a little.

The leash seems a little shorter than the nylon lead we were using, but I prefer the shorter length because it gives my puppy less leeway to pull all over the place. Our walks have been much more enjoyable, both for me (less pain and pulling) and for him (less neck pain, and he seems proud of his 'big boy' leash). I love the green color and the eco-friendly materials and I recommend this leash as a wonderful upgrade from those cheap nylons.

I used to live near Portland, Maine and knew about Planet Dog products fairly early in the game. I also like the idea of supporting the commercial use of hemp. Anyway this is a very well made leash in my opinon, tough hardware, careful stitching, comfortable in the hand. It is about the weight of a light equine bridle per inch however so it is a little heavy for walking my Yorkshire Terrier who weighs about 8 lbs soaking wet with his winter coat untrimmed. Anyway, I am pleased. Would make a great gift for someone with a rowdy Jack Russell, Corgi or full-size Dachshund or even a bigger dog who needs a short-ish leash.

I had two of these leashes so far and both times the metal hardware part broke to pieces. Do not buy this leash as it puts your pets in danger. I have never seen this happen before with any other leash maker. The first leash broke the first time I attached it to my dog's collar. The second one lasted two weeks and broke right as my dog saw a cat. Planet Dog should do a recall.

The hemp leash material is far better than nylon - no "rope burn". Also nice and thick making it easier to hold onto. Unfortunately, the snap leaves you holding onto a lovely leash while your dog runs off. It's not an isolated problem either. I re-ordered 3 times and the snaps were always junk. Too bad the snap quality doesn't live up to the rest of the product.
