flexi Neon Dog Lead - Large 8m

Flexi leads are top quality in general, but this one surpasses my previous old 5m corded one. This is absolutely excellent. Brakes and locks separately, is very smooth and quiet, and the tape doesn't twist! The tape is also neon yellow, so can be seen easily by others. Arrived within 24 hours of ordering too !

Purchased for our 25kg standard Bull Terrier. Extends and retracts smoothly and is easy to lock. Works perfectly with his Julius K9 harness and copes beautifully with his Bully runs. Found it to be a little heavy to hold but soon got used to it and am confident it would double as a miscreant-defence tool if necessary!

Nice long lead, gives my dog plenty of space to run around while still having control, unfortunately didn't take him long to chew through it. Also like that it's reflective good for day & night walks.

Never had a retractable type lead and just love it. Very well made piece of kit which works very perfectly and the spring is strong enough to take up any slack in the lead - therefore it does not drag on the ground or get near the dogs feet.. Also works well as a short lead with the locking mechanism. Only down side is that my lead only measures just over 7 metres so not as discribed. Should have brought the 10 metre version.

I used to be a bit sceptical about Flexi leads, but for anybody asking whether or not to purchase one I would now say go for it. They are really strong and well made, very easy to use and this size more than holds it's own with my large collie. It is really easy to control the dog on the end of it, and great for giving dogs who can't be let off lead for whatever reason a new sense of freedom, while still being firmly under control. The braking mechanism seems faultless. It's holds up to a strong pull without releasing and is easy to use. Would really recommend that you give it a try.

This is the second lead of this type that we have purchased. Great lead, well made and strong. This time round went for the reflective design. Our dog does not come to command and so a good way of her getting a run without the distress of her running off. The lead is not too heavy, comfortable to hold, very well priced and worth every penny for the peace of mind. I would recommend this item.

The quality, like with so many other things, has gotten worse over the years, but this version is still better than their main line (the all-black one) and products from other companies. This is my fourth Flexi for the dog in five years – the last one broke after just three months. The tape snags and sometimes won’t retract, starts acting up pretty quickly. You have to pull it back and forth anywhere from a second to a minute before it sorts itself out. This time, a screw fell out after a few months. The plastic on the handle also seems more brittle.

It holds up really well with my 45kg powerhouse, even when he charges in with a bit of force. I do use the shock absorber between the collar and the lead though. My first one was stolen after two loyal years. It was used almost every day and never caused any issues. Unfortunately, the second one started having problems with retracting after just a few weeks. Now I’m going to buy a third, since I don’t know any alternatives.

Very sturdy lead, size L can handle even a 45 kg giant!

Bought the lead about 3 or 4 months ago and it snapped clean. Not great considering the price.
