Brilliant idea. I've had one for many years, and it's really handy to be able to hook up dogs without tying knots. Now that my new pup has gnawed on the handle, I realize just how much I love this leash. Highly recommended./////Yes

The leash works well. Because of the thin weave, it doubles up and slips thru my belt loops so it doesn't have to go in my pocket. When Desi does have to be leashed, I've found that one can reach thru the collar loop and grab the middle of the leash. When this is pulled back to the handle loop, it makes the leash about three feet long -suitable for social situations and limited ranges. Just drop the second loop and it goes back to six feet./////only to my friends

We had a nice leather leash, but the puppy chewed it. I'm keeping a careful eye on this one because I love the fixed leash feature. Thanks for a great product!/////yes

This is my second flat-out leash, only because I wanted an additional one of a different color to match a harness. I love this leash! It makes it easy for us to run together and when I need to I can grab the lower handle to pull him close. I would recommend this to everyone!/////yes

I got two of these leashes for my two 70+ pound shepherd mixes and they are incredible (the leashes, not the dogs, though I think the dogs are pretty incredible too). The handle is nicely padded, moreso than any other you'll find in a local store, and the leash is very durable. My puppy loves to pull and really gave this leash a run for its' money, but the leash holds up like she's not pulling at all! The handle near the dog is perfect for when the puppy sees a dog and goes crazy or when I'm walking them through traffic. But my favorite part is that I can put the leash around my waist and it snaps together and I don't have to worry about dropping the leash or getting tangled up. It also makes it really easy and fun to jog with them. The leash is advertised as 6ft but I find it's noticeably longer than those advertised as 6ft at the store. I haven't measured to see which one is correct, but it doesn't matter because I find this leash's length to be a far better one than other leashes.Overall, this leash is perfert for my dogs and I highly recommend this to anyone who has a dog, and especially those dogs who like to pull or who are bigger dogs. /////yes

I love the concept of this leash - adjustability, easy to clip around your waist, tree, etc. However, the paint/coating on the snap chipped off within a month or two, and now the "tooth" you pull to open the snap broke off! Will be checking into return and a new one. It's very handy for jogging, walks or any time you need your hands free! Far more stable at those moments when your pooch bolts after a squirrel or cat (no more shoulder jerking). It would be good if the handle loop were a little smaller or more flexible so it doesn't slide off your wrist as easily. I do really like the product though!/////yes

High quality of material. Padding in handle. The side buckle release is great for the city because you can tie up your dog to a parking meter, bike rack, bench, etc. quickly without having to take the leash off the collar to tie up your dog or having to rely on your knot tying skills. Would be perfect if the leash were reflective (safety at night)./////yes

Not a huge fan of EZ clips since they can open if the dogs writhe on the ground. This is still better than similar setups. Locking carabiner clip (see DoubleBack leash) would be better but overpriced. Leash is strong yet soft enough when the hounds get riled. Length allows tethering around your waist if you need free hands. Nice short handle for quick close control. A little on the heavy side when you're running two together. Only minor wear and tear after 3 years use. Sastisfied customers./////yes

Great leash, I love how long it can be. The clip in the handle makes it really easy to tie up, and can be adjusted to fit around a tree, a pole, or your waist. The only thing I don't like is that when I have it adjusted to the shortest length and we're walking, the leash pulls out really easily and suddenly becomes long when I don't want it to. I wish the buckle switchback had a harder hold on the leash, but that doesn't stop me from loving it. /////yes

Our first leash was a braided walmart thing and though it worked fine, it lacked durablity. The soft texture, versatilty, and length is perfect for daily walks or hiking!/////yes

My dog has had this leash for awhile and we have a few complaints. The material is thin and weak except in the handle, and when she needs to be put on a short leash, it is hard to grab anything but the handle without it slipping. Also, my main issue with this is the clasp where you hook the leash to your dog's collar - my dog has pulled/shaken this off, the least amount of pressure opens it, and she is free. Being a scent hound, this has caused a few problems, and we can no longer use the lead, and we've had it for less than 2 months.Other than that the idea is neat. I never had a chance to tie her out on it as it was January and there is snow everywhere. I did use it around my waist in the house once, but she broke free from the clasp. It was comfortable though.My dog is 45 pounds and 1 year old for reference./////No

Soft, durable, versatile and with a grip at the clasp end so you can hold him direcly at your side when necessary. /////yes

Good quality leash for the price, I wish it was a bit longer, and had a little more padding around the area that goes around your waist. We have done a few ten mile trail runs with this and has worked great, however when the summer months come and I sweat more, I could see some padding may be needed to eliminate potential chafing. Much better to counter balance the pull of a very eager Golden than having to hold his weight back with only your arms and shoulders, and great to run hands free!!!/////yes

Great for my larger doxie. We use it for general walking, long enough to allow some roamage, short enough I dont meander into traffic. /////yes

This is my second review of the leash. I actually just received my replacement leash (great warrantee service, by the way). Although I love the product, they need to get a better quality collar clasp. After 2 weeks of light use, The black powdercoat/paint has already started chipping off. The brass clip on my leather leash has held up just fine after heavy use. I recommend the company switches over to a regular brass leash, even if it means not being "color matched" to the fabric. It will be much more useful for "ruff wear" :-)/////yes

This is one of the most comfy and good looking leashes I have owned. It's soft supple, has a nicely padded handle, and tons of good features. The waist/fixed leash helps alot around town, and I like the lower handle to shorten up when near traffic, people etc. Thanks again for another great product!/////yes

my dog walks wayyyy faster than i do so we jog with this leash that fits comfortably around my waist and still has enough leash to keep the dog at my side. Brilliant!!!/////yes
