I've been using this daily for about a year with my 25kg German Shepherd/Husky. It's strong, highly visible and is easy to clean and dry. Brilliant product much better than my old nylon one and I haven't had a single friction burn !

Had my new 14 mth old Malinois out on the 10m today was very impressed with it , much nicer to handle than my other longline ( rubber grip one) , much much lighter and it stayed cleaner , although I did find it actually snagged the ground more than my previous one but not badly , prefer this one for feel and weight .

Used the 10m version in the Lake District with our 7 month old Labrador. It was brilliant for use when he wanted to swim in the lakes and rivers because we could give him freedom to swim but still keep hold of him. Doesn’t absorb water like other leads so lighter to use and carry when wet. A very long line but takes up little space when coiled up. Wipes clean and doesn’t pick up grass / thistles / debris. Doesn’t get knotted like fabric leads. Strong and flexible. Worth the money.

Nice lead, very light and visible at night. I previously used a training lead like a rope, but it slipped and I got severe rope burn. This one has never slipped off my hand.

This product has transformed my dog’s life as it gives him a freedom he could never have on a flexilead. He can now wander at his own pace, sniffing around as he wants but I know I could still get him back if he decided to try to do a .

Just used for first time today on my German Wirehaired Pointer, lots of game about so reassurance for me to slow her down a bit...worked well. Good bright colour , got the collar too, going forward is going to be very helpful. Note to self though it still burns if it catches round your ankles🙄😁

Love this long line. Makes such a difference to not have a muddy and soggy line in the winter. I recommend this to everyone.

I have a Border Terrier who has a strong chase instinct. For this reason I walk him out in the fields on a long lead. This one is great. It's light and doesn't tangle or get caught on things as my previous cord one did. And the colour means that it is easy to see and avoid.

Great quality. It doesn't absorb water so it doesn't get heavier like other long lines, meaning the dog doesn't feel more weight whilst using for training. The biothane doesn't get caught in stuff as much as other materials, and when it gets mucky, just wash it under the tap and all the muck just slips off. And, when we're using in the park whilst working on training and recal, or having running loose behind my dog as a backup, the high vis colour prevents tripping up humans!

Ordering it for the second time because I left it abroad.... Super efficient, my dog even learned to behave just by watching me hold it!!!

I already have a long lead but it burns through my hand on occasion, not a good idea. This biothane lead feels strong and can be gripped easily without friction also great luminous colour, bonus of a handle on the end.

This is the best long line for dogs ever. It's yellow so they can see it clearly. It's waterproof, light and easy to clean. There is a clever way to tie it up to make it shorter and easier to hang. If you know a professional canine trainer or horse trainer they might show you. I only learned it a few days ago. It's worth asking.

I've had my biothane long line for four years now, using it first with a dog-reactive lurcher and now with a friendly but selectively deaf Bichon. It's brilliant, doesn't get heavier when it's wet, easy to see in the grass, the clip is secure and it's easy just to rinse off when you get home. I have the 10m one and it's great for giving the dog some freedom to trot, run, sniff etc but still feeling you have them safe.

Have used this for over a year now and very pleased with this lead. Lightweight but strong. Very easy to clean. Doesn't easily get tangled. My dog's recall isn't very good( if she sees a deer) so I use this line attached to a harness. It gives her some freedom but I am still in control. The only modification I made was to cut the loop open. Just in case she did get loose,I didn't want the loop to get caught on a branch.

In some ways this lead is good. The 10m length is useful- we occasionally used it in fields or ponds but also used it as a long tether when on holiday and didn't have a secure garden. It doesn't tend to tangle and I like the bright yellow colour which makes it clear he is on a lead. I don't much like the texture because I find it hard to hold but it does clean up easily. However, I can only give it two stars because the clasp broke after just a few months of very occasional use.

I love this long line, I use it every day to walk my dog-reactive lurcher and it allows him to have an 'offlead' walk in safety. It's lightweight, visible, doesn't bother him and if it gets wet or muddy it doesn't get heavier and just needs a wash under the tap or a wipe with a sponge.

Definitely worth every penny. Bought in September last year & used every day on a bouncy & powerful 4 year old Labrador - we tried numerous leads but this has changed our lives. Easily visible, strong with good hand hold - never gets soggy/heavy from wet, quick hose cleans it & rarely tangles. Only concern the smallish clasp but has been fine. Used with a harnsess it has been absolutely perfect for us.

I have used many long lines as I foster dogs for the rescue kennels I work for, and I am a dog trainer too. Some were better than others but this one is definitely the best. What I love about it is that it does not absorb water, something that used to drive me crazy with other lines. It is quite stiff so it doesn't tangle easily and is visible so when the dog drags it behind I always know where it is. It feels a bit plasticky, not at all like leather, but that does not matter much to me. I've been using it for a few weeks with my young GSD who pulls quite a bit and it's strong and easy to hold on to. Will see how long it lasts, hopefully long, so far there is no sign of wear on it. I would, and will, strongly recommend this product.

I bought the 5 metre lead for my 6 month old puppy so I could safely walk him in the park and on the moors without him running up to people and stock. I have a flexi lead but don't like it - it gets tangled up in undergrowth very easily. This lead is ideal. I can let him drag it through muddy puddles knowing that I can rinse it off in a stream. It doesn't get tangled and is very soft on the hands. The puppy doesn't mind the weight of it at all and the colour means the people, especially farmers, can see that he's under control and poses no danger to them.

I love this lightweight, easy to use lead. I bought the 10m version. I would prefer the lead to be wider, 25mm though. It is extremely tough when you have a big dog pulling on the other end. I use this in preference to a flexi lead but would not use it on the streets.

After just a few uses, the carabiner is already sticking and is hard to open and close. Since I can't risk not being able to leash or unleash my dog at a crucial moment, or the carabiner even opening by itself, the lead is useless to me as it is. I'll sew on a new, better carabiner. The carabiner hasn't been soaked or dragged through dirt so far; it was either attached directly to the harness or safely stored in the rucksack...

My dog chewed through the lead in 5 minutes…

Essential long lead for my little hunting dog, who I can’t let off the leash. Waterproof and durable—she squeezes through bushes and branches and it still hasn’t got damaged. Recommended if you want to give your dog a bit of freedom. I’d just suggest improving the product by adding a safety-lock carabiner instead of the standard one.

I had already left a positive review for this lead, but I find that the quality of the clip has changed. Sometimes after just a month of use, the clip comes apart, so I end up just holding the lead in my hands, without the dog... Before, I could keep them for a long time, but now I have to put a different clip on it, which isn’t great—having to change the hardware for safety right from the start. It would be better to pay a bit more and have quality equipment.

By now, I have several Biothane long lines from different brands, including a very expensive one. But this one from Heim is definitely my favourite, both in terms of how it feels and how well it holds up—it’s lasted a really long time. I’ve been using it almost daily for 5 years now with my very reactive 15 kg furry friend, who used to really pull hard on the lead at first. At first, I was a bit worried about the carabiner and whether it would hold up to my dog, but everything’s been perfect! I’m honestly really impressed, especially for the price.

The lead was nice, easy to clean, and comfortable, but after just 1.5 months the carabiner broke. I was hoping the lead would last a bit longer; while I was using it, I was really happy with it. It's a shame I have to replace it with a new one so soon.

My puppy snapped this lead clean in two after just three walks. Very disappointed with the quality.

If your carabiner breaks while you're out walking, you really have to question the quality. What a letdown! Definitely not something I'd buy again. Luckily, I always carry a short lead as well.
