KONG Ultimate Retractable Dog Leash, Extra Large, Red, 5m Tape

Product Information

The no-pull harnesses in this guide are a better choice for anyone looking for the least intrusive, minimally aversive (LIMA) approach to dog training and behavior modification. Our intuitive brake and lock mechanism works with a natural walking motion and with a dog’s walking tendencies. The best way to stop your dog from pulling is to train loose leash walking using positive reinforcement with one of the best dog leashes and some of the best dog training treats. If you keep walking whenever your dog pulls, you are not only missing out on the chance to train loose leash walking, but you are also reinforcing pulling.

The Retractable Leash Ultimate from KONG is an extra strong retractable leash for large and strong dogs.Unlike long lines, retractable and extending dog leads easily roll in and out as your dog moves and, because they are always subject to slight tension, they never slacken or trail along the floor. All of the Kong retractable dog leads feature tape webbing (not a cord), a soft grip handle with grip support and intuitive brake and lock mechanism.

Durability and washability: We asked professional dog walkers for their opinions on how well these wear over time and whether they hold up after multiple washes. We got the correct fit with three easy-to-use adjustment points, each connected to a buckle (one at the neck and two at the back).Like all KONG products, you can depend on this retractable tape dog lead for safety and strength, walk after walk.

The Kong Ultimate is part of a unique series of four retractable dog lead models each designed for different types of dogs and walking environments. The harness also has an excellent safety feature for dogs prone to bolting: a locking buckle on the neck strap. The three buckles could be secured without lifting the harness over the dog's head — Ellis says this is a bonus feature for dogs who don't like having anything placed over or around their head.We disqualified the Petsafe Easy Walk and Wonder Walker harnesses due to significant sagging during testing. A cord lead can be difficult to see and can also cause friction burns if it goes around legs or you accidentally grab at it, so tape leads are preferable. The reflective strips on this harness are a fantastic safety feature that makes it easy for other hikers, dogs, and even people in cars to see her at any time of day. This feature kept our jumpy dog secured in the harness even when she was startled by a charging dog and attempted to back out of the harness.
