Figure of Eight Soft Hi Viz Dog Lead - Black

This lead is thick and stiffer than previous ones I’ve tried. This is good because it doesn’t tighten too much in one go when walking with your dog so it remains a comfortable presence on your dog’s snout whilst making it super easy to hold and use the lead - a figure of eight is the only thing to get my springer walking nicely without any pulling or straining and with this it’s the best she’s ever walked! It’s like she’s not even next to me, I love this thing!It also has the structure of the figure of 8 built in so all you need to do is loop the larger opening over the dog’s neck and slip the smaller section over their muzzle. If you put it on correctly according to the side of you that you walk your dog, the ring will sit slightly to the side and gives you a good angle on the length of the lead (remembering that it’s stiffer than most rope leads) - see photo.When she has a moment or two with an opportunity to try and remove the lead from her snout my dog will paw at it, and if I don’t give it a quick upwards tug to stop her from doing so, she can flick it off quite easily. But then it’s just as easy to slip it back on again!The reason we bought this lead, the 3rd or 4th figure of 8 lead in 2 years, because we had no way of easily carrying the previous ones after letting the dogs run free in the park and we’ve consequently lost them all! I love this one because if you move the leather toggle towards the handle you can hook it over your shoulder and it would never be lost! The thickness and stiffness of it help to keep it at the length you put it… I’ve made it sound like it’s not flexible at all but it is still rope, it does still bend 😅The reflective stripes are a useful touch and something I think should be standard on all dog leads!

Arrived on time

It’s a good lead, especially to help prevent dogs from pulling, but the physical loop in which to put your hand through is almost impossible with large hands.You can slip your hand through, but it isn’t easy nor comfortable, which can make it difficult for fast removal and change of hands if one arm gets tired walking a big heavier dog

Helping my dog not to pull as much as before I bought this lead.

bought this lead a few weeks ago and finally got around to using it. was fine until the dog pulled to go for a fallen ball and then the handle broke. tried a repair and failed and noticed the nose loop also failed.would love a refund !! Clearly not fit for purpose
