FIDA AutoBrake Retractable Dog Leash. Advanced Patented Design for Dog Pulling, 16 ft Heavy Duty No Pull Pet Walking Leash for Medium Breeds. Tangle Free, Soft Grip, Medium Size.

I am not in any way exaggerating when I say that this leash is the very best solution for dogs that like to make mad dashes after who-knows-what.I'd been using other standard extendible leashes for my two large dogs -- but one of them has that incurable "chase" instinct. Squirrels, birds, chickens, other dogs... if it moves, he'll chase it. And he is FAST once he gets going. If you're not holding tightly to the leash, he will pull it right out of your hand... and even with a firm grip, he still actually managed to pull hard enough to injure me once -- but when something similar happened to my wife while she was walking him, that was the last straw; something needed to be done.So I did some research, and (just like you) I found this leash. The automatic braking feature prevents my dashing dog from being able to build up a head of steam, so that it is significantly less likely that he's going to hurt me or my wife -- or himself, for that matter.The automatic brake is an absolutely fantastic feature; if your dog is also a dasher, I highly recommend this product.

This retractable leash has been a reliable companion for the months I’ve owned it. It works as advertised and hasn’t broken down once. I find the design aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to hold. The locking mechanism is sturdy and reliable, unlike other leashes that have failed me in the past. The black parts are made of rubber, which makes it shockproof, considering how many times I’ve dropped it without any issues. I also appreciate the small hole provided for attaching poop bag cases.While the ABS is functional, I haven’t found as much use for it as I anticipated. However, it’s still a valuable tool when I need it, such as when a small rabbit darts by. My dogs are capable of catching them, so this leash undoubtedly saves lives.

I bought one of these a year ago. My dog is 60 lbs of pure low to the ground pulling power coupled with explosive speed. And he is a running fool that has no mind whatsoever when his prey drive is active. This leash will instantly lock when he explodes after a squirrel, often when I'm least expecting it. After I learned to hold on tight to this little flexible leash the value of it was immediately shown when my dog could no longer run into the street after the aforementioned squirrel before I could stop him or simply rip the leash out of my hand altogether. In short, this leash allows enough leeway that he can wander a bit into the weeds to do his business without me nearby but grants enough control that I don't worry about him getting away from me, which is exactly what I need. The bad thing about the leash is that the material of the leash thread itself began fraying a month ago, which began to gum up the works of the retraction system. I was able to cut some of the fraying nylon material away and gently work at it until the retraction worked again, but I opted to buy a new one entirely and used the old as a spare. Note that I probably use this leash 10-12 hours weekly during our walks in all types of weather, so it's gotten a workout in the last year. I did notice that the retraction mechanism gets a bit sluggish at -5 F and below and it's not always happy in heavy rain either. While it would be great if this leash were a bit more durable, the auto brake feature is indispensable for me and I'll continue to buy this leash unless and until someone markets the same thing with more durability.

Excellent for dogs that chase or lunge while on a walk. The brake system works well and gives you time to redirect your dog. I feel very secure having a lock also. I would recommend sizing up. My bulldog is within the medium guidelines but that was too small and, I felt, no strong enough for him. Otherwise, a great product! I would own no other leash.

Good leash but the self lock feature doesn't work properly. It will only work if you pull it really fast by hand. I doubt it would catch if your dog jumped off a cliff. Other than that it works like any other retractable leash

We love this for walking our 100 pound pup!! Super Reliable & Comfortable in the Hand. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

I already have a leash by Flexi that is 10 years old and trustworthy. I wanted to try this because my dog is a sudden puller and the ABS sounded good.3 serious flaws:1. The tape design is retractable as long as it is fed 90 degrees like the hole. If there is a bend to say 45 to -90 degrees then it will not retract and you will have your free hand trying to unwind this. The Flexi has a tubular cable or rope design which never has had this issue the 10 years I owned it.2. The buttons have gotten stuck and it becomes useless. This one has 2 buttons and you have to push down on 1st button and up on 2nd button to lock which has gotten stuck. The mechanism from Flexi is more intuitive with a simple button down and thumbnail push up to lock, never jammed the 10 years owning it.3. The ABS doesn't kick in unless there is momentum. Think of a car hitting an object at 35 mph vs hitting an object at 1 mph accelerating to 35mph. It has not ever worked once as intended.

Works gorgeously, it’s like they buttered your hand on a pillow of down.
