Dog Leashes
Many owners can admit that one of their worst nightmares is happily walking through the park and then their dog’s leash snapping, leaving you running all over the place to catch a dog that is possibly faster and fitter than you’ve been in years (or ever)!
In addition to being able to control this stressful situation, there are other benefits you should be aware ofwhen using the best retractable dog leash :
Prevent your dog from chasing and scaring off other adults, children, and animals
Maintain your distance should your dog have a phobia of other dogs
Control your pup during training sessions
Prevent injuries or other serious issues
Teach them how to walk on the street
The Standard Dog Leash
Considered the most common type of dog leash available in today’s marketplace this necessary training tool is typically made using leather or nylon –alternatives include rubber or cotton, although they are not as reliable and durable.
Because these standard leashes use leather and nylon, they are viewed as resistant and sturdy, being adequate for restraining even larger-sized breeds. As a general rule of thumb, they measure between 4 and 8 feet in length, stretching around 6 foot or more. This space is ideal for allowing the adequate amount of freedom of movement –all while giving you complete control of the situation.
Retractable Dog Leashes
This second type of heavy duty retractable dog leash is designed to give your dog, even more, freedom of movement, working similarly to a measuring tape –a nylon cord can easily extend giving your dog up to 30 feet of space.
Equipped with a locking mechanism which allows you to fasten the leash at different lengths, they are convenient for letting your pooch run around –especially since you can collect the rope by retracting the line into the handle. Either way, you will have peace of mind!
