I originally bought this leash to match the harness which seemed pretty good. My fiance was walking our puppy one night and was getting into the elevator when the leash popped off. He told me this and I got worried. We live in the city and cars do not care nor stop for anything or anyone. I bought another premier leash thinking that maybe the leash was not properly put on or that one might've been defective. Since the company seemed like a reputable one, I bought another leash to replace it. This time I was NOT so lucky. I was walking my baby this morning and the leash just popped off. My baby knowing where the dog run is wanted to go and was running across a large avenue and was struck by a bus. She is now in the ICU of a veterinary hospital. How can a company continue to sell a leash that is NOT secure???!!!!! What's the point of the leash?????!!!!!! These are our babies that they are putting in danger. PLEASE do not risk getting this leash it is not worth it.

I bought a premier leash in 08 and it released my dog several times. Freaked me out. I've had no trouble with the collar but wont be buying the leash again.
The function of a leash is to stay connected to the dog. Whats up with that Premier! NOT COOL! Hope its been redesigned.

The closure on the leash is poor. My dog escaped twice before I realized there was a real problem with this leash. The first time I had assumed I didn't get it fully attached to the loop on his collar. The second time he broke free it was a night on a very busy urban street. If he would have wandered off it would have been over! We got back home and my husband and I tested it by attaching the leash to the collar and pulling. The collar repeatedly broke free of the leash with minimal effort. I have not used the leash since and certainly would never buy it again.

I bought this leash at the animal shelter where I adopted my dog. Even though it's only been a week, this leash has come off of his collar twice. As soon as I got my dog safely home, I sat and figured out what the problem is. The reason it pops off is the ring on the collar twists up against the trigger and pushes it back just far enough to release the ring. It WILL happen eventually if the ring gets in the right position. In my case, I was using this leash with a Gentle Leader collar. The ring on that collar is a very small diameter and round. I think this leash might work better with a collar that had a D-ring of a very thick diameter, but I'm not willing to risk it.

I have another leash with a smaller more rounded trigger. I tried the same set up and I was unable to pop the trigger.

If you already own this leash, consider replacing it or figuring out a backup method to keep it attached when it does fail.

Years ago I had a saxophone neck strap with that exact kind of clasp on it. After about the third time I caught my 1960 Selmer Mark VI tenor by the thumb hook, I scrapped the strap. The problem with that kind of hook is if you attach it to a small ring, the proximal side of the ring can push on the opening mechanism while giving the distal side leverage to push through the opening.

I had the same experience as the first reviewer - less than five minutes into the first walk my dog popped off the leash! We live in a city and she is not car savvy, so it was quite a heart-stopping moment. After getting her home safely, I tested the clip by attaching the collar and pulling it in the direction of the pin - it popped open and released the collar ring with very little pressure! I had this problem with another leash, but (naively) trusted this one because it was from a 'good' manufacturer - never again! This appears to be another cheap, untested 'made in China' product. I will never walk my dog without thoroughly testing a leash again and will probably go back to using a carabiner as an extra reinforcement on all my leash clips. The lesson: when it comes to buying any dog/leash or collar, BUYER BEWARE!

I'm sure they are great for other collars/breeds, but this is the standard lead that I have used for many years with Premier Martingale collars.

I've never had one break, fray or have any other problems.

Great quality. The only thing I miss is the quick snap hook on the older leads. Or maybe they were another style?

This leash is poorly made. It doesn't feel very durable, the swivel on the clasp looks far too thin and loose to withstand much stress. In addition, the clasp doesn't swivel properly which causes the leash to tangle. Also be advised that the length may be incorrect, I ordered a 6' but it measures 5' 6" (which rules it out for obedience compitions). I suspect this is a counterfeit, as the quality is not consistent with other products manufactured by Premier, it lacks the sewn in tag found in Primere's other nylon gear (the leashes pictured on their website also include a tag), and the packaging and labeling looked suspicious. You typically get what you pay for and if something looks too good to be true, then it probably is.

Leash and harness were perfect for our little pug--the package came quickly and was in good condition. This leash and front hooking harness was much cheaper on Amazon than getting it at the pet store--we saved over $15 even with the shipping costs included.

Your basic black leash. The 6 foot length is ideal for training. Can't go wrong at this price.
