Hi,
when 3 months and 12kgs our puppy broke her flexi lead through a bid to

to be getting less trusty after only three weeks.

Maureen,
I use a 10 yr. old "Blue" Flexi leash. It has always
been able to hold a Berner (we are on our 3rd BMD, 2
rehomes and an SPCA rescue). The first BMD worked that
leash for all it was worth - in & out, in & out. The
2nd was the best dog I ever walked on leash (former
owner "sent" him to Ob

Sorry Gang I had the wrong day. Kathleen emailed
me, along with several others, that the walk is set
for Saturday. Please accept my apologies. I wrote it

Hope this didn't cause too much confusion.

I always used a Flexi with Riot, and didn't have any problem. On the odd
occasion he would race after something, I'd call to him to stop - call very
quickly! You can also (kind of) push on the button on the Flexi to kind of
slow it down a bit (creates a bit of a drag on the line). It's very touc

I've had the unfortunate experience of dogs bloating and torsioning and one
