Retractable leash guide

Retractable leashes extend from 3 to 8 meters, giving your dog room to explore on walks while you control the distance with a lock button. Tape-style leashes are stronger than cord-style for medium and large dogs.

What to look for

• Weight rating — always choose a leash rated above your dog's weight
• Tape vs cord — flat tape is stronger and less likely to cause rope burns
• Brake mechanism — one-button lock/unlock for quick control
• Ergonomic handle — comfortable grip with anti-slip coating
