Hands-Free Dog Leash Training Running Snapleash, Waist & Shoulder Lead for Walking, Traffic Lead for Large or Small Dogs, Dual Pet Leash Adjustable for Large Dog Breeds > 40 Lbs (1" x 7.5’ Black)

ORIGINAL REVIEW: ***PLEASE READ THE UPDATES!!!***COULD have been great... if my German Shepherd I rescued a month ago did not destroy it in less than 1 minute!I fastened this SnapLeash (the 1 inch width type on this page) using one of the grommets with the dog clip (as it's use is indicated for) around a pole in my basement to keep my dog a safe distance from some projects I was working on but also so that I could keep her in sight. My dog is a 60 pound, 3 year 9 month old female German Shepherd I rescued about a month ago. She literally, got loose in less than 1 minute by destroying it in only a couple chews. Now mind you, her two bottom canine's are broken and she is a chewer, however she's not a ridiculously aggressive chewer (I understand this is not marketed as chew-proof, but destroyed in less than 1 minute!? COME ON! I have other nylon leashes that have lasted longer than a minute with her!). The section chewed apart was all nylon across the width that got completely severed at a fairly smooth angle. It was not where a grommet was where she would only have to chew a little. Great idea, just not durable or long-lasting, at all. I would not recommend this to anyone with a dog that is even the slightest chewer.***UPDATE*** September 25, 2013 4:50pm ESTI contacted the manufacturer SnapLeash via a comment post through their facebook page regarding the durability issues I had with the leash I purchased. I received a response in less than 24 hours! According to them, my issue is the first they've heard of out of the many they have sold. They have offered to replace the leash at no cost, and if further issues result, to refund my money. They are even sending a return label for me to send back the severed leash so they can study it!... Sounds like great customer service so far despite product quality so I'm upgrading my review from 1 star to 3 stars in the meantime as I really do appreciate fast resolution with a company's customer service. I will update again once the replacement is received and tried again.***UPDATE*** October 26, 2013 3:05pm ESTAs promised, I am updating again, and changing my review to 5 stars. I have since received the replacement leash and SnapLeash was kind enough to send me 2 others (large blue and small red) for a dog I plan to adopt in the near future as well as an envelope with prepaid postage to return the severed leash. And so far, the new black leash has withstood the numerous times that I have used it with her! I really love the whole double ended hook concept with the multiple grommet holes. I've used it on a trolley run I have in my backyard that didn't come with a double ended dog hook lead to use on it (the main reason why I got this). It's also come in handy when I've gone outside with her to water some grass I've been trying to grow--I just can easily clip her around the tree in the front yard, keep an eye on her, and keep her away from the stream of water shooting out of the hose! It's great for bringing her outside to use an outdoor kennel for potty time because sometimes we forget to clean up after her last trip outside so it's great for fastening her outside the kennel chain link so we can clean up and let her in (long story why she goes potty in a kennel, I'll sum it up with she was an abused rescue who will only go potty if fully enclosed in metal whether it's a crate or kennel). I will say though, the prepaid envelope to return the severed leash did get returned to me for insufficient postage--but as experienced before, the SnapLeash customer service has been great in resolving the issue!

Love the functionality!

I won't waste time and tell you about the wonderful features this leash has. It's a good design and does what it claims. However, I expect a leash to be sturdy and of strong materials for the safety of my 90 lb. Rottweiler, who admittedly can be a moderate to aggressive tugger when he gets excited. I took this leash for a trial run. And after one use, I found it's flaw. The nylon material is wide enough and thick enough, The hooks (probably too large for a small dog under 20 lbs.) are strong and secure, the stitching appears to be secure. But for something like this, 3/4 is bad. The grommets, which is what makes this leash unique, is made of what appears to be aluminum. It is a pliable aluminum. When my dog tugged on the leash, the grommet that one hook was attached to got all bend because it is too thin. I fixed it the best I could with a pair of pliers with not much strength needed. Would I buy this again? Probably not. What price would I put on this item? Maybe $10, at most. How long do I anticipate it lasting? My guess would be one year. What size dog would I recommend this for? 40- 75 Lb.11/15/14: Shortly after writing this review, I received an email from the company who expressed their apology and concern about the "defect" in the product. They even sent me another one to try out. I do respect that the maker of this product is willing to stand by their product and want customer satisfaction. BTW- I have continued to use the first leash without further problems.1/31/15: After 3 months of use, I can definitely say that I do not like this product. I noticed today while getting my dogs ready for their walk that a grommet came loose from the leash. The grommet did not seem to have any sign of stress that may have caused it to come loose. The two parts (front/back) just separated. I have come to the conclusion that these grommets are for aesthetics only, which is whythey are cheaply made. The last leash I had, with a similar concept, lasted 20 yrs before needing to be replaced.

The idea is great. Execution not so much. Love the ability to use this in any configuration needed; however, the grommets have been popping out, starting shortly after getting it. I do have a large dog, so maybe the tension he creates adds pressure.

Less expensive than other tandem leashes with no compromise in quality. A leash is not intended for use as a tether, so I don't think evaluating a leash as a tether is reasonable. I use the leash to walk two dogs. I've previously bought the tandem leash of another maker, but prefer the SnapLeash for its construction and strength. The lower price is a bonus! Good product!

As the owner of a pet sitting business for the last 14yrs, I know which products work and which are hype. My favorite leashes are similar to this one, only instead of grommets like this leash has, my leashes have rings at different points and can convert from single leash to tangent. I gave this leash four stars instead of five because the grommets are too small to make it as multifunctional as I would like. That being said, I still really like this leash. You can walk two dogs, hook other leashes to the grommets on this one, clip your dog to a fence etc. Having rings and double ended hooks enables you in many ways. You can make it whatever length you like for more control too. I bought it with along with the Cosmos walking waist belt & bag, which has two rings on it also. It totally frees your hands up while standing still, as you can use this leash with the waist belt too. A useful tool. Will add my own larger rings from the hardware store to make it exactly right, as I have not been able to replace my favorites.
