In my experience, retractable leashes can teach a puppy to pull as they get used to the feeling of tension on their harness &#8211; which in the long run, is something we don\u2019t want to happen. On the other hand, retractable leashes are very useful in some circumstances like these ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Going to the park and letting your puppy sniff around freely while still being safely on the leash. Let\u2019s let them sniff the chips dropped on the floor but not actually get to them, shall we?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Having a dog on the leash in areas where it says they must be kept on one &#8211; got to respect the rules.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When they\u2019re in post recovery from surgery so they have the freedom to look around but are still under control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What makes it special:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Retractable leash extends to 5 meters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reflective neon can be seen at night.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Should be used with a harness for safety &#8211; never a collar!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tape is safer to use than cord &#8211; the cord will give you a mighty burn if run against your leg. The tape is stronger too, so less chance of leash snapping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ergonomic handle (fancy name isn\u2019t it?) is much comfier to hold than other retractable leashes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quick stop braking system &#8211; got to stop them from getting into people\u2019s private picnics.

Besides this handy detail, one of our other favorite things about this training leash is the reflective strips on it, making you and your dog visible and safe on dark evenings! Oh, and can\u2019t forget about the padded handle.
