i used to have an american cocker spaniel and she was on the retractable leash and was pulling and she circled me suddenly
my stepdad was holding the leash and she was so strong the flexi leash burned into my left hand and it bled and i still have the scar
it was about 3-4 yrs ago
but i still use the flexi on jongee![]()

That's exactly what I mean and similar type of things happened to me a few times. I don't have any scars though. It mostly happens when Miko is playing with another dog in a park. I still use the flexi but I am getting annoyed with it.Originally posted by okw+Apr 1 2005, 12:08 AM--><!--QuoteBegin-mee@Mar 31 2005, 08:44 PM

I'd like to add one con would be that you cannot just "reel" your dog in because its retractable. Its only for gathering the slack. ie. if you needed to give your dog a little tug, or pull them to you, you'd need to do that by holding the string if you get what I mean![]()

I don't use the Flexi's now, but when I did I only bought the ones that were all material, (I think they are called belt?). Anyway, the wide material is the entire thing. I found this kind much safer (was afraid of cuts with the other one--I am clumsy). If you needed to you could grab the belt and use that to reel the dog in without getting cut.
