RuffwearFront Range Dog Leash, 5 ft Lead with Padded Handle for Everyday Walking, Basalt Gray

Things I like: loop near the handle, where I hang an S-hook so I can clip stuff on, or use it to tie the dog to a post while I use the bathroom in the park.The lower loop is great for maximum control of my large dog.Padded hand-hold is comfortable, even for a large pulling puppy in training.Length is perfect for me at 5 feet. 6 feet is a little too long and 4 feet can be a little short. Works well for both my dogs (100 pounds and 40 pounds). I've had one before I bought this one--we left it at a dog park but I'd used it daily for years and it was still solid.Clip is a *little* small for attaching to my Herm-Sprenger collar, but not bad. Occassionally wants to stick open--mine spend time on the beach and get sand in them--so I rinse it and once in a while squirt some WD-40 in there.Highly recommended.

Lightweight but durable. Good leash. Coordinates with harness

Works amazing for the pup love the colors. The clip is very nice and hooks right into the harness. Would definitely recommend buying them as a set.

I've bought RuffWear items for years, and just bought a new set of harness, leash and collar for a gorgeous huge white 20-month-old LabraDoodle that just came to live with me! The set works well together, and I appreciate it; the padding is -- I'm not sure that "padded" is the right term for what the handle is. It's not padded; it's kind of thickly lined, but not very padded. That's what I'm taking the one star off for; find a better word for that. Otherwise, I love the color, love the strength, love everything about RuffWear items.One word to the wise, though: when I brought this new guy home, I had two RuffWear harnesses left from my prior dog (who died of cancer two years ago). I put the orange one on the new Dood and took him for a walk his first morning at my house, and on our return he took a nap on the floor beside me while I did something on the computer in the chair right next to him. I noticed him licking -- his arm? -- while I was immersed in my own little world. Turns out, he was biting his harness IN HALF across his chest. I thought RuffWear was indestructible! It's not. So now that we have this new set, I'm taking it off EVERY TIME we're done with our walk. Never leaving it on this guy indefinitely, again. Lesson learned. I could sew it back together, with a piece of nylon something or other to attach the two pieces together, and I may...but yeah, that surprised me.

If you don’t have a lot of time on your hands to research and look through countless reviews in the hopes of finding the perfect collar, leash and harness for your precious dog ( who of course deserves the best), look no further thanRUFF WEAR.. The leash is lightweight and extremely sturdy. My dog has chewed his way through other leashes..but not his RUFFWEAR leash. The collar is also made very well and it is the only collar that does not bother him. NOW for the Harness. I have bought numerous harnesses in the past that my dog hides when he sees them. They have been too heavy, or pinch him under his front legs. The RUFFWEAR harness is constructed just right. All clips on all products are crafted for security. . All are good looking, comfortable, easy to adjust and well priced. The control I have while walking my dog with RUFFWEAR products ( especially when he sees another dog) can not be beat. I sound like a RUFFWEAR salesperson, but I am not.I just love dogs.

I got this leash to match my dogs Ruffwear harness. I am not usually a fan of padded handles on leashes. I prefer for the leash to be as small and light as possible and hate bulk. However this leash is the exception for me. It is SO incredibly lightweight that the fact it has a padded handle doesn’t bother me at all. I think it was a great edition just to weigh the leash down a bit and gives a good grip on the leash. I really love the additional handle at the bottom of the leash. Great for reactive dogs or dogs that may need an immediate redirection from something. The locking mechanism on the hardware is cool. I appreciate that they used more of a carabiner thing for the leash as opposed to a normal hook. Due to the way the ruffwear harness is designed, the D ring can sometimes cause a regular hook style leash to come undone in the middle of the walk. With the locking carabiner, it’s now impossible. Overall I’m really liking this leash. Ruffwear is great all around

This is a fantastic leash.The clip is the best that I have ever used. The wire gate makes it easily connected and disconnected with one hand. Even with gloves, even if you can't hold the collar D-ring or harness, it just works. Milled out of billet aluminum, with a stainless wire gate, swivel, and D-ring rather than cheaply cast out of zinc, this feels like a climbing carabineer compared to a keychain.The webbing is surprisingly light and thin. I honestly would have dinged a cheaper leash for cheaping out here, the other leash I have is much thicker. But it's more than strong enough to be a leash, like a ratchet strap. The combination of the special clip and strong but light webbing is strong enough to *hold my 160 lbs off the ground* - it will be fine for walking the dog. There is a padded handle, so it's not uncomfortable. It's 59" long - I think they must have been shooting for 5' +- 1", and just came up a bit short.The only downside of this light webbing is that it took a bit of training for my pup to realize when the leash was getting taut. It's not nearly as heavy as what she was used to. But she caught on after a couple miles.The grab handle at the collar is handy. My dog is just a bit too short to walk while holding it - we bump into each other. The handle part is about an inch longer than the main leash part, so while it's mostly flush it's easy to grab. The light webbing is nice when using this handle because it is almost unnoticeable bumping on my shins and calves when I hold the main handle with one hand and walk the dog on the other side.Another great Ruffwear product!
