FLEXI Giant Tape Retractable Dog Leashes for Large Dogs Upto 110 lbs. – 26 ft., Black | Tangle Free Pet Walking Leash with One-Handed Brake, Pause, Lock | German Quality Product

This retractable dog leash has been a great upgrade from our other leashes. It makes walks more exciting for my pup since he has more freedom to explore, and it has actually helped with recall training as well. What really stands out is how heavy-duty it feels. I have much better grip and control compared to other retractable leashes we’ve tried, which often feel flimsy. This one locks well, feels sturdy, reliable, and well made. Highly recommend if you want a retractable leash that actually holds up.

Awesome dog leash for any large sized dog! The lock function works well and in spite of being pulled, lock stays put to the point where I have to be careful not to be dragged! The handle is comfortable and the neon strip makes it visible at night. This is a very well made product. It is worth the price for the quality you get. It does weigh a bit but this is for a big dog and with a very long leash. If you are looking for a quality leash that will last, look no further.

The one star reviews do not make any sense. I bought mine 2 years ago June 1. I have used it on a high speed, super pull, 70 lbs. Husky apparently powered by Dilithium Crystals!! I have the Giant Large 26 foot. It still functions very well. ( Sometimes it does make an odd clicking) The coil rewinds as rapidly now as it did when purchased. The lock is solid and still holds. The leash is cloth people... if the dog chews it, or it gets caught on something sharp it will cut. (Duh!). It is also fairly easily repaired with simple stitching or tape ( may not retract all the way after tape!). It's beaten and worn, but 2 years of abuse and it still functions, that is pretty good quality! I am ordering another for use with our St Bernard Pup (Currently about 100 lbs).

Trooper and I received his new leash about a month ago and have used it almost every day since. Our typical walk is four miles in just about an hour. Ever since transitioning to the new leash we keep wondering why we didn't get one of these years ago! After having used a six foot leash all these years, the Flexi Giant is like being let out of jail. ( Not that I would know anything about that feeling.. ). Anyway, let me explain what's so great about it; I guess the first point to cover is that someone who insists their dog march in lockstep next to them, not waivering in the least, mimicking a tin soldier, will likely never be interested in a leash like this. Why? Because this leash lets a dog act more like a dog than a robot. The Flexi Giant lets your dog explore, doddle a bit, or even run in short bursts without him and the owner constantly being jerked around by a ridiculously short tether. One of the features I appreciate the most is the fact that the mechanism keeps the exact right amount of tension on the leash so slack is taken up but the dog is not restrained unnecessarily. The leash NEVER drags on the ground. The engineers nailed this feature perfectly! As your dog moves closer, slack is taken in. If he moves away, the reel unwinds effortlessly. There is a button to lock the spindle. This can be held temporarily or locked in place indefinitely. With very little practice, you will find yourself using this feature to limit the amount of leash taken out so your dog doesn't get in a position to wind around a tree or venture where you don't want him to go. The mechanism is very ergonomic and is super comfortable to carry and use. Yes, it weighs something, but not enough to even lay any mind to. I find the lock controls easy to use. My only complaint is that the lock does not always engage the instant the button is depressed, depending on the reel position and if the spindle is in motion. This is not a major issue, just some to be conscious of... When we first got the Flexi, I was a little surprised how small the webbing ( leash ) material was. But having had to restrain Trooper numerous times, I now have full confidence that it is plenty strong. By the way, Trooper is a 55 pound Lab/Border Collie mix. I am super impressed with how well made this product is and how well it functions. Also, I thought 26 feet was going to be way too long. Boy, was I surprised. I think it's a great length and I'm so glad I didn't go with a 15 foot leash instead. By the way, this is not just a 4+ fold increase in freedom. It's more like a twenty fold increase! That's because your dog is roaming the area of a circle and is not restricted to a straight line! So in closing, let me just say that the Flexi Giant is a great value which will pay for itself many times over. My only regret is that I didn't start using one of these a long time ago.

The leash works well and we’re satisfied overall, but the handle is slicker than it should be. I had read similar feedback before purchasing and now understand why. It even slipped out of my wife’s hand on the first use. We’ll keep the leash and plan to improve the grip ourselves.

As a proud dog owner, I've tried numerous leashes, but the FLEXI Giant Tape Retractable Leash is in a league of its own. It's clear from the moment you hold it that this is a product built with German precision and quality. The leash feels incredibly sturdy and durable, easily handling my 55 lbs dog without any strain. The 26-foot tape gives my dog plenty of freedom to explore while still keeping him under control. The one-handed brake, pause, and lock mechanism is a game-changer. It's smooth, responsive, and intuitive, allowing me to quickly and safely adjust the length with a simple thumb movement. This is a huge benefit in crowded areas or when passing other dogs. The extra-wide armrests and ergonomic handle design make it comfortable to hold, even on long walks. Best of all, the tape is truly tangle-free, which has saved me so much frustration.

I have a couple Labradoodle puppies that are going through training, in walking AND in play. So I picked this up for them to give me a combination of control with them and freedom should I want to give it. If you've used Flexi, you know how good they are. If not, let me just preface by saying: the locks are great with minimal "accidental" engagements or disengagements, it is intuitive to use, it is well-built and holds up (so long as you keep the doggies from making them chew toys). However, new or old to Flexi, there are a few things you should know about this.....specifically: It's bigger and heavier....noticeably. Not anything that hinders me, but for some it may be an issue. The retraction spring is beefier. While you never really want to let a Flexi leash "just come back"; it's especially crucial here. I could see legitimate injury coming from letting it whip back. The bottom and top of the leash has the storage wheel for the leash exposed. This means the wheel can make contact with skin if you aren't careful and can possibly give you friction burns. None of these have really come into play with me, but I do feel they are worth mentioning as this is a slightly different beast from traditional Flexi leashes. However, in spite of these things, this leash is a remarkable tool of excellent build quality, smooth mechanics, and insightful design. I've used Flexi a long time and I will continue to use them so long as their quality holds. There are a dozen retractable leash brands......Flexi remains the best I've used and the Giant is no exception.

This is very strong , I have a German Shepard and unfortunately tested the strength of this particular retractable leash! I was talking on my phone , which I never usually do but friend just happened to call me as I was walking my dog and got distracted . I did not realize my dog was running full out and once it got to the end of the leash I went flying and landed on the cement ! Luckily I was just badly bruised on my Rib cage ! My solution to this was getting a SHOCK CORD and putting it between the harness and the leash ! ( Oh and not being distracted while walking my dog Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!
