My only "but" has to do with what size dog you intend to use this leash with and whether or not he or she is leash-trained, especially in terms of yanking you around when the urge strikes. I like this leash but have ended up using it mostly in the house for tethering my 50 pound dog near me, for instance while I'm eating or talking on the phone, both activities he considers "our" time together and I consider it paws off.
I bought a thicker leash (not the same brand) for walking the dog around our neighborhood. My husband and I adopted our dog from Animal Welfare. He was neglected, shy, dirty, in every way neglected and apparently abused. He is about six years old and apparently was never trained to obey even the most basic commands. My husband and I have been working with him daily and while we've made good progress with bonding and a few simply commands (stop and go equals heel and OK at intersections), still there are issues.
When Bosco moves to chase a cat, pick up a tasty morsel of trash, or otherwise jerks on the leash so he can explore on his own, I need (and use) a leash that is thicker and softer on the hand, which is especially necessary when I shorten and wrap the leash around my hand in order to rein him in.
The Premier Fido Preppy Puppy (six foot long, one inch thick) leash doesn't do the job for our fifty pound, poorly trained dog but if you have a smaller or more well-behaved dog, I think you would like the leash. It is well-made, has an understated "tasteful" plaid pattern, the clip opens and closes smoothly, and at under ten dollars the price is right, especially if you taken advantage (as I did) of Amazon's free shipping for orders over twenty-five dollars.
