What are the best retractable dog leads?

Yes, but like any piece of equipment, they should be used responsibly. Don't be a danger to your dog or other people. Do not use when road walking or in any other potentially dangerous situation. Use the break button to stop your dog going forward - do not use your hands. Use only in places where there is plenty of space and where the lead is not going to get tangled around things or injure other people. It is important to keep your dog's retractable lead in good condition. A poorly maintained extending dog lead can be very dangerous. If the lead or brake are not working optimally, dispose and replace the lead. Safety first, always.

Retractable dog leads do carry dangers, so it's best to do your research – but overall they can still be suitable for big dogs. A. We'd generally recommend using a harness rather than a collar with a retractable dog leash. You should avoid letting your dog run and jerk to a stop at the end of the leash, but it's much less likely to cause injury if the leash is attached to a harness.

Why it made the cut: Flexi has been making a version of this leash for 50 years, which speaks to its success. However, they do of course have their downsides: flimsy designs can break, so it's best to make sure you choose something durable and robust.It's important to consider the width of the leash. Some retractable dog leashes have a flat tape leash while others have a thin cord. We'd recommend a tape leash over a cord because cord leashes aren't as strong and are also more likely to cause injury if someone gets wrapped up in the leash or you accidentally grab it instead of using the brake mechanism. Even tape leashes aren't all of equal quality. You'll generally find tape leashes that are 0.5 to 1.5 inches in width. Wider leashes are significantly stronger and more durable overall.

Sixteen feet of tape is protected by the tape guidance system, which ensures that your tape won’t get jammed during walks or as it retracts.

Why it made the cut: Why have two separate leashes when you can get this 2-in-1 solution for group walks? Don’t worry; you can still maintain separate control over each dog.
