After reading multiple reviews and comparing it to other leashes I decided to order this one. First off, I placed the order on Sunday February 27th and it had already arrived March 2nd, which was way sooner than what initially stated. My initial thoughts were, it was packaged beautifully no kinks in the leash causing any weird bend marks. It is heavy, not like annoyingly heavy but it does have a good weight to it which I like. Most reviewers were complaining about the badge being upside down. It will not be upside down if you hook it correctly. The side with the D-rings goes closest to the dog then swing the other end over your body and hook it to the closest D-ring to you. From that point you can move the badge (same way as adjusting the size of a collar) to anywhere you feel comfortable. It takes a little working out but it is totally doable. The measurements on the leash for me being a 5’5 female and a Golden who comes up to my knees are a little over 2 feet starting at the D-ring closest to my body. The next one down is about 20 inches, the next one is a foot from me to him, then the last one is almost 7 inches. If he moves away from me it does still give slack so the measurements are kinda so so. When it is clipped to the D-Ring closest to my body he is able to lay down comfortably with slack still in the line. When it’s clipped to the next one down however it does create a lot of tension but he is able to lay down. I will give another review when I use it for a while, until then I am super happy with what I got.Sdit Moose and his handler says thanks Active Dogs!
