How It Works

The lead automatically extends as your dog moves away, giving them freedom to explore. When you need control, simply press the brake button to stop extension instantly, or lock the lead at your desired length. Release the button and the lead retracts smoothly back into the handle. The intuitive one-handed operation means you can manage your dog, carry bags, or use your phone without fumbling.

Cord vs Tape: Why Cord?

The cord-style lead is ideal for small dogs as it's lightweight, less visible, and allows for quick, smooth extension and retraction. Cord leads are perfect for dogs who don't pull heavily and provide a more natural walking experience with minimal resistance.

Training Tips

Start Short: Begin with the lead locked at a shorter length whilst your dog learns. Reward Good Behaviour: Praise your dog for walking calmly without pulling. Practice Stops: Use the brake to teach your dog to respond to sudden stops. Avoid Sudden Jerks: Use gentle pressure rather than harsh corrections. Supervise Always: Never leave your dog unattended on a retractable lead.

Care & Maintenance

Wipe the handle and cord clean after muddy walks. Check the cord regularly for fraying or damage. Avoid dropping the handle as this can damage the internal mechanism. Store in a dry location. Do not allow the lead to retract at high speed as this can cause wear. Replace if the brake becomes less responsive or the cord shows signs of damage.

Important Usage Guidelines

• Suitable for dogs up to 8kg only
• Not recommended for training puppies to walk on a loose lead
• Keep fingers clear of the cord during retraction
• Use shorter length in crowded areas or near roads
• Always supervise your dog when using a retractable lead
• Not suitable for dogs who pull excessively
