A really useful lead both for training and for control over your pet when exercising Long enough to allow the dog enough freedom to run and jump wwhile still being able to hold them back or reel them closer. The soft handle is kind to your hands and makes holding the lead easier, no discomfort if the dog pulls or jerks, perfect for larger dogs. Can be used with a stake to keep your dog close yet letting it get exercise and explre the area. A really good buy.
