Stretchy Polyester Dog Leash in Five Colors

A leash with a little give takes some of the jolt out of a sudden pull, for you and for your dog. This one has adjustable elasticity, so the length stretches within a range of 47 to 63 inches (120 to 160 cm). The strap is polyester and comes in black, purple, army green, orange or blue.

Pick the strap width to match your dog. Size S has a 0.6 inch (1.5 cm) strap, size M a 0.8 inch (2.0 cm) strap and size L a 1.0 inch (2.5 cm) strap. All three share the same length range. Wider straps are generally chosen for stronger or bigger dogs, but no weight guidance is given, so use your own judgment for a dog that pulls hard.

Before the first walk, check the clip, the handle and the stitching, and clip the leash to a well-fitted collar or harness rather than directly to a thin neck. Stretchy leashes recoil, so keep a firm hold and avoid letting the free end whip toward your face. Keep the leash short near traffic.

Rinse the polyester with mild soap and water, then air dry.
