This is my second (after 5 years the first wore out). The easy clip handle lets me easily hook on and off when I need to pick up something at the cleaners and deli. I also like to clip around my waist for hands free walking. This is the only leash for me.

The flat out leash has every feature I could possibly want, is beautifully-made, and is durable. I use it as a hands-free leash for training, and as a temporary tether when we're having cappuccino and kibble at outdoor cafes. The fabric handles beautifully when using it as a traditional lead, and the traffic handle is great for emergency maneuvers in the city.

It would be great to have even more color options for the leash and matching hoopie collar.

This is the best leash ever. It is really easy on the hands. The handle is great and it is really convient to be able to hook it around my waist. When my dog pulls, I don't have any rope burn.

I bought two of these leashes for service dog teams. They work wonderfully. The dogs are able to work and the owner able to go about their day without worrying about the leash.

Best lead I've ever owned. Strong, light weight with plenty of length. The snap buckle is of high quality and almost frictionless. And best feature of all is the closable handle which easily wraps arounds signs, trees, and other fixtures to secure the dog for a quick cup.

I love the hands-free option and the ability to tether the pup to a tree or table. However, since he likes to pull, he has pulled hard enough to open the buckle and after doing this on more than one occasion, the buckle is very weak and he can pop it apart without much effort. After working with him using a gentle leader, he does not pull like he had in the past, but the buckle and the hands-free option are useless now. I would not recommend this leash for dogs who are strong pullers.

Really like the FUNctionality and design of the leash. So does 'the doodle' - he can hang with us outside without running away and I love to go on walks using the belt feature. I have gotten lots of compliments on the 'cuteness' of the pattern - as well as the 'hands-free' walking I get to enjoy.
All around great product.

Love this for times when I need to have my dog attached to bench or post. It is great quality. My only request is that you make one in the 4ft length too -- that way I won't have so much leash in my hand or every day walks.

I love this leash for two of my dogs. The adjustable handle is great for wearing it around the waist or attaching to a post.

My only concern is that my third St. Bernard, who is a strong puller, has cause the buckle on the handle to snap apart (not damaging it, but causing it to open). So if you have a strong dog who may pull, I would recommend going with either the Knot-A-Leash or the Doubleback Leash.

I love this leash. It worked well for obedience class when I wanted a hands free leash. I use it all the time. It has definitely become one of my favorite leashes. My dogs are not chewers or pullers so it works great for us.

My dog is pretty nuts, so he loves to grab the leash in his mouth and try to walk me... so where he bites is kinda wearing out already. Other than that, it's works great.

A well built and thought out leash. The clip on the hand hold is a great idea.

Nice color, great material, several features. I use this leash every day and still love it!

Once in a while i let my mom watch my dog and she would use a retractable to take him for a walk. I tried to tell her i was not really comfortable with thoes leashes but she would not listen. I got this leash for her and hid the retractable and she loves this one so much more! She even fastens it around her waist for hands free walks. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.

We added a new canine member to the family about 4 months ago (lab) and my frequent outings with the pup and my two year old always left me without enough hands... This leash allows me to control the dog and still leave both hands free to carry/chase/etc. my toddler. One minor improvement suggestion, the material could stand to be a bit thicker.

Great product. I recommend one "change." There is a "loop" near the end that attaches to the dogs collar so you can keep the dog on a "short leash." I recommend that this loop be bigger, at least on one side so it is easier to get one's hand into it. If the dog is pulling or the leash is taught, it closes up and it is hard to get your hand into it, especially if you are wearing gloves or mittens. Otherwise, I love it. Nice leash. Works great.

I like the bright colors so I can find it. It is long enough to let my dog sniff about, but I short enough I feel like I have control. The handle is very comfortable, but the material of the leash itself is slippery. This makes it hard to hold the dog close without grabbing the extra handle in gloves. The ability to clip it around my waist is what sold me on the product.

This is the best leash ever.

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!!!

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!

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" :-)

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

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!!!

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

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!

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.

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.

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).

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!

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!

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.

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.
