RuffwearCrag Ex Leash, Extendable Dog Leash, Hand-Held or Waist-Worn Reflective Lead, Alpine Dusk

Very high quality. Looks great. The leash hitch (is there a better name??) gives maximum protection against a faulty latch. Most other leashes have clasps that can get stuck and let your furry family member free to run away. This one is very solid.The handle can be made larger or smaller and has a snap buckle to allow you to attach the leash to a picnic table or even around your waist for hands free usage! It is also padded a little, so it’s more comfy!They also make Martingale collars to match this, huge +++++! Martingale collars slip over the dog’s head, and when the dog pulls, the collar tightens so that it doesn’t come off his head! I recommend this for everyone, I don’t know why ALL collars don’t have that.I recommend this to everyone!

I love this leash for my pug! It is well made and durable. I use it every day on walks from potty walks to mountain trails. It also matches my Ruffware harness that he has on which is a plus. I like the padded handle when it’s not being used as a hands free leash. The adjustability is great especially on walks that it needs to be a bit shorter, or walks that he can have more room to wander around.

This is the second one of these that I have purchased and used. The first one was starting to show a little wear but nothing that I wouldn’t expect after 4-5 years of use with a large dog and lots of walking. I like that once I put it on, the leash is only about 4’ long and I can control either of my dogs (separately, it’s too short for 2 dogs at a time) well on that length leash. I like being hands free when not having to do something to control her. Both my dogs can go between my waist leash and a regular 6’ leash that my wife uses without issues. This belt has reflectivity built into it and it is very well built and sturdy. The only plastic part is the buckle for my waist. The other parts are metal. The belts are all double stitched with care. I find that I just can’t walk both my dogs at the same time as their always competing with each other and jumping over each other and they start pulling too hard. This product is made well and will last for quite a while.

Had it 6 months. Light weight and sturdy. Can be clipped to things like a park bench quickly and easily. Quickly converts to a waist leash. It'd be perfect if it wasn't for the leash to collar clip on the end. It's meant to be easy to use with gloves I guess, but sometimes if it hits against something in just the right way it detaches itself, I've never had this happen with the normal style clip. The plastic bucket has been great though, very durable.

Nice leash, great features. I like the features a lot, makes the leash much more usable and versatile than other leashes. Adjusts easily to be waist worn or full length. I like the clip, which is big enough to fit around the leash so you can loop it like a purse for easy carrying when you don't have it on your dog. Pretty design. Definitely not as thick of webbing as the ones we purchased 10 years ago from ruffwear (leash is thinner). But it's fine, just don't let your dog chew on it or they'll go through (but really, dogs can chew through almost any leash in minutes). Other than the leash not being too thick, all hardware seems solid and good quality. I

We recently took our two 100 lb each Goldendoodles on their first road trip to Colorado. This leash was AMAZING! It’s so versatile. It can be extended long to give your pup maximum freedom in open spaces and it can be cinched down to keep them close when needed. My favorite part is the buckle handle. It can go on your waist, belt, backpack strap, bike stand, stair rail, etc. for when you need a free hand. I do not think our trip would have been as successful with a different leash. Oh, and if you pair with a Ruffwear harness, you can loop the leash handle through the harness handle and really have super tight control of them. Like on an elevator or lobby.

This leash is great for anyone who walks, jogs, or travels with their (well-trained) dog. It is so easy to clip it around my waist and go. I specify well-trained, because I wouldn't use this with my younger dog who pulls like crazy. Corrections aren't easy and it's better for after loose-leash training is complete. This makes it much easier to take my dog anywhere I go and to have my hands free whether walking, shopping, or hiking. It is very easy to adjust the length on the fly if I need more control or to keep my dog closer for whatever reason. And the clip makes it easy to attach one-handed, which comes in handy more often than I expected. The leash is sturdy (though I haven't tested it against a chew-happy puppy or anything) and holds up well with everyday use and hand-washing.

This is the PERFECT, most versatile, well made leash. Well worth the higher price than I’m used to. Not only does the handle convert to a waist buckle, the leash length itself is also adjustable so you can make it as short as you need to keep your dog close by, or let it out to give them more freedom. There is also enough length for me to fasten it across my chest and secure him that way. The clip is clearly good quality and not sticky at all, though I haven’t had it long enough to attest to its actual durability. The colors are beautiful and the material is thin enough to be comfortable in my hand. I absolutely recommend.
