It's really nice with a small dog, it avoids dragging leash slack through winter muck or tripping over it. When we were training more actively I used it locked short for loose leash walking and for recall work. I hook it to a clip on belt sometimes, otherwise it is easy to drop. We practiced so the dog was used to it skittering towards him. <br /><br />I think if you actively train your dog, teach them loose leash walking, and train solid recall it doesn't matter much if you use a retractable. Like e-collars I feel like it's a useful tool that causes trouble when someone buys a cheap one and uses it badly.

When the button failed, like a fool, I grabbed the string. Took a lot of staples to close up my hand. Just lucky there were veterinarians nearby. I have seen people tangled up and pulled down by unruly dogs strung out from clueless owners. Not a fan of this invention.Carter Dentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03105039629727062537noreply@blogger.com
