TUG Original Retractable Dog Leash, 16 ft (Medium, Black/Grey)

This was my second purchase of the same model. The medium still works well a year later after daily use with a 40lb, 3y/o mixed breed. The retractor has begun to fail after 12 months, which is a similar pattern to the first one I bought, but it has been reliable up to this point. It is also very comfortable to hold, even on half-day outings. Actually, I still have the first one, which is solid despite weak and often ineffectual retraction efforts, just in case I needed an emergency backup. She sometimes tries to carry the end in a cute message for me to hurry up (I use the extension) in her mouth, but it shows no wear. She does not try to chew it, but her teeth are in contact at times and I was worried about fraying. She sometimes walks at the end of the leash when she is in a loose leash mode, occasionally pulling. We are working on that! When using the first one of the two, she would run it out often when still new to us (~1y/o 30#), but that has diminished to almost never with training. Still, the first one also last a year even with that abuse. I will buy a third because the first two kept her safe for two years now and so I trust them. We travel often in a travel trailer and leash laws prevail, having physical backup to oral commands has been reassuring to both me and many around me. Up until it has begin to fail (the last 2' do not retract now), it operated seamlessly and reliable in all kinds of weather for about the same amount of time. I have used a large carabiner to attack a pouch of bags to the narrowest part of the handle and that has been working for over a year. One extension (which as included) also lasted as long as the leash, as did the snap hooks on the ends, and with no failures. I am giving 5 stars because of the continuous reliability in a critical mission. Yes, I wish it lasted two years or five, but this is the only thing I have found to wish was improve and that is not worth subtracting a star. At this point, I am simply considering the leash to be an excellent and proven tool that simply needs annual replacement.

These retractable dog leashes are very good quality and work well for puppies who like to dart a head during walks. They are not good in sand so be careful if taking them to the beach. Sand gets into the leash and makes it stick. Lesson learned. Anywhere else, though, the leash works really well with my dogs. I will buy again.

This was purchased for a 15- 20 lb puppy. It worked great. Just the right size of leash and the handle was very comfortable. It retracted well and held a position when you locked it in. I did by mistake one time grab a hold of the leash when she was running and the material did lightly slice my fingers. So you do have to be careful with that action. The only thing that others may choose to have on their leash is some way to connect a "poop bag". I would highly recommend this leash and buy it again if needed.

We have a 65 lb dog. The first Tug we ordered was 10/29/2025. Loved the design and the way the leash worked. Lately the ratchet system has been catching, locking and making noises. We just ordered another one 8/4/2026 because we really like it, just a great leash. Just wish it would have lasted longer than 9 months.

This leash lasted 4.5 years with a reactive dog who pulls. It’s solid and high quality. The retracting mechanism broke today, but I definitely got my moneys worth. Purchasing another one now!

This is the best retractable dog leash I have ever owned. It is easy to use, stopping the leash’s length at any time or releasing it. It is solid construction and the leash runs smoothly in and out of the base. My favorite item was the bonus extender piece to use for dogs that chew on it, saving you from having to get a whole new leash! Thank you for the forethought!

Works well, smooth, extending and retracting easy to lock and unlock. Unfortunately, I had to return it. My pup passed away exactly one month after purchasing and I don’t know anyone else with the dog otherwise I would’ve gifted it.

We have a short-haired English Pointer. We walk 2+ miles every morning. I have purchased a few retractable leashes, as she roams while I walk. The 16' legth allows her to explore as we walk. I walk at a pretty brisk pace, and this lease is great for our pairing. It is heavier than the other leashes I have purchased, but this last one I purchased lasted approx. 2 years. The quality is excellent, and the latch/release thumb button works very well. I would consider another leash.

لا انصح به رغم صغر كلبي الحبل لا يرجع من تلقاء نفسة

Depuis deux ans, j'utilise la laisse flexi et j'en suis pleinement satisfait. Cependant, étant donné que le modèle que je possédais était trop petit, il ne me permettait pas d'insérer l'ensemble de mes doigts en raison de l'épaisseur de mes gants d'hiver. De plus, la corde fine s'emmêlait parfois dans les pattes des autres chiens, risquant de les blesser. C'est pourquoi j'ai décidé de passer à un modèle plus grand avec une corde plus large. À l'ouverture du colis, mon impression a été très positive. La boîte contenant la laisse enrouleur ainsi qu'un mousqueton supplémentaire est élégante. La coque de la laisse respire la qualité, et sa couleur est véritablement noire, contrairement à celle de la flexi, qui, bien qu'annoncée noire, est en réalité marron foncé. Le mousqueton est pratique, et le cordon est solide. Le système permettant de bloquer ou dérouler le cordon est suffisamment spacieux pour être manipulé facilement avec des gros gants, ce qui constitue un véritable atout. Le grip du TUG assure une excellente prise contrairement au flexi qui m'a échappé plusieurs fois des mains. Bien que le poids du modèle plus grand soit légèrement plus élevé que l'équivalent en flexi, je suis extrêmement satisfait de mon achat, tant sur le plan esthétique que pratique. C'est un produit robuste, et en prime, son tarif est plus avantageux que celui de son homologue. Reste à voir comment le mécanisme résistera à une utilisation prolongée, mais cela ne semble pas être un problème étant donné la qualité de fabrication et la solidité apparente du produit. J'ai acheté ce produit en janvier, et depuis septembre, la laisse s'enroule difficilement jusqu'à aujourd'hui, où elle ne s'enroule plus du tout ! Déçu donc de cette marque qui manque cruellement de longévité. En effet, neuf mois me semble un peu court. Je vais donc m'orienter vers une autre marque.

今の所調子良く使えてます、少し重たいと言う意見も散見されますが、当方は丁度良いですね 造りもしっかりしているため満足してます

Wir haben für unseren jungen Welpen eine flexible Hundeleine gesucht, die der Kleinen eine gewisse Freiheit ermöglicht. 5 Meter sind für unseren Welpen ideal. Die Leine verheddert sich - im Gegenteil zu anderen Leinen auch wirklich nicht. Können wir sehr empfehlen. Ein kleiner Punktabzug, da es die Leine nicht in einer längeren Version gibt, also z.B. mit 8 oder 10 Meter.

excelente productos, gran calidad de materiales
