Shock-Absorbing Bungee Dog Leash with Two Snap Clips

This short bungee leash has a stretchy braided section in the middle and a snap clip at each end, so a sudden tug is softened before it reaches your hand or your dog's harness. It is sold in black and measures 1.0 x 27.6 in (2.5 x 70 cm), and it weighs about 2.5 oz (70 g), so it adds very little bulk.

Each end has a metal snap clip on a flat webbing tab, which lets you attach one clip to your dog's collar or harness ring and the other to a loop, a belt or another leash. Because the clips are at both ends, you can also use the bungee section in line with a longer lead to take some of the jolt out of a pull. The stretch is meant to ease sudden jerks, but it is not a restraint for a very strong or fast dog.

Check both clips and the stretch section before each outing, and replace the leash if the braid frays or the clips stick. It carries no strength rating, so match it to the dog you have and keep it for everyday walking. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth and let it air dry; rinse off mud under running water if needed.
