Giant Tape Retractable Dog Leash, Large, 26 ft - Black

We love FLEXI brand leashes. This is the 3rd one of this model we have purchased. We have been using them for our two Westies, and we just adopted a new Westie pup. As he gets bigger, we'll be using this for him. I enjoy the locking mechanism, as it is very easy to lock and unlock, or quickly lock with the push of the button. The handle grip is comfortable in your hand, with its contour. You have a good length of strap to give your dog, with up to 15-16' of distance. The reflective panels and brightly colored strap are great for dusk and nighttime walks.

I prefer to use ribbon retractable leashes but have had horrible luck. Very quickly, they stop retracting, tangle, or if they get wet, forget it. I do not know what kind of engineering this has but it is perfect. Even when it spins, it auto-corrects and retracts perfectly. I have been using this for over a month and put it through the paces. Easy to use thumb braking system, comfort grip, strong connector, durable ribbon, and retracts on a dime. I would give it more stars if I could. I am down to one dog now as others have passed, but this will be my only future purchase with leashes.

Review of FLEXI Giant Tape Retractable Dog Leashes for Large Dogs Up to 110 lbs. – 26 ft., Black | Tangle Free Pet Walking Leash with One-Handed Brake, Pause, Lock | German Quality Product I had an older one of these that I retired to a memorial box when I lost my fur soulmate. My best friend brought her German Shepherd up again for a visit. I wanted to be able to walk him more easily and safely than by using the standard leashes that she brought with her. For the record, he is 16 months old and weighs about 95 pounds. He has had basic professional training and was doing great, but has become reactive to some things, and is hard to control outside in the yard sometimes. This leash is one I knew I could trust. The length is great and is easy to control with the brake system. The brake system is easy to control and operate and to lock into place (and to unlock as well). The tape is reflective, but it’s difficult to see that in my photo provided as I wasn’t able to use my flashlight and take a picture at the same time. The picture is just with the camera’s flash; plus, my outside floodlights had come on. It doesn’t tangle up, although it looks like it’s going to. Yes, it is slightly heavy for some to carry around, but it doesn't bother me. I felt it was comfortable in my hand and mostly easy to grip onto. It just works! It comes with a safety loop that incorporates into the harness/collar D-Ring, but I am not really sure how this really works or helps. I included a close-up of the instructions on the safety loop. I have not tried it yet. It is pricier than many leashes, but worth it. It’s made in Germany, and that is a plus to me. It is Ryker Der Hauswolf approved and I recommend it.

This is a heavy duty leash and works well. Recommend it highly.

This is a great leash for active medium to large size dogs. We use a bungee type extension on the end to minimize arm and shoulder stress with active and pulling dogs. This is our third 26' Flexi leash. They do wear out mostly because they get sand dirt and moisture inside. The weakest point is the spring hook for attaching to you dog's harness or to the bungee extension. If this gets dirt or sand in it, it will stay in an open position and the leash will get unattached. See photo. I am going to tape over this on our new one to keep it clean at the beach - since we use the bungee's spring hook to attach to the dog harness, this part can be taped shut long term. Good luck...

So happy with this purchase. My dog is 55 pounds but I upgraded to the 110 and glad I did. This will change our walks. I have a high energy labrador and walking her as miserable. I have worked with professional dog trainers who want me to do a certain method and what happens is I just don’t walk enough because it doesn’t work. This lead is great because she can stay at what she wants to sniff run in front, sniff sniff sniff while I’m walking up to her I can pass her. She can stay. It gives her so much freedom and it’s very strong.

I have a couple Labradoodle puppies that are going through training, in walking AND in play. So I picked this up for them to give me a combination of control with them and freedom should I want to give it. If you've used Flexi, you know how good they are. If not, let me just preface by saying: the locks are great with minimal "accidental" engagements or disengagements, it is intuitive to use, it is well-built and holds up (so long as you keep the doggies from making them chew toys). However, new or old to Flexi, there are a few things you should know about this.....specifically: It's bigger and heavier....noticeably. Not anything that hinders me, but for some it may be an issue. The retraction spring is beefier. While you never really want to let a Flexi leash "just come back"; it's especially crucial here. I could see legitimate injury coming from letting it whip back. The bottom and top of the leash has the storage wheel for the leash exposed. This means the wheel can make contact with skin if you aren't careful and can possibly give you friction burns. None of these have really come into play with me, but I do feel they are worth mentioning as this is a slightly different beast from traditional Flexi leashes. However, in spite of these things, this leash is a remarkable tool of excellent build quality, smooth mechanics, and insightful design. I've used Flexi a long time and I will continue to use them so long as their quality holds. There are a dozen retractable leash brands......Flexi remains the best I've used and the Giant is no exception.

We bought the FLEXI New Neon Tape Retractable Leash for our 75 lb senior dog, and it’s been fantastic! He still loves his walks, but we needed something sturdy, safe, and easy to manage—this leash delivers on all fronts. ✨ High Visibility for Early Morning or Evening Walks The neon tape and reflective features are super visible, especially during our early morning and evening strolls. It helps us feel safer around cars and in low-light areas, which is extra important with an older dog who moves at a slower pace. 🛠️ Strong, Smooth Retract Even though our dog is older, he’s still strong when he wants to be! This leash handles his weight and strength effortlessly. The retracting mechanism is smooth and never sticks, giving him the freedom to move while still keeping us in control. 💪 Comfortable for Me, Gentle for Him The ergonomic handle is comfortable to hold—even on longer walks—and the leash has just enough give to feel gentle on his joints without compromising control. If you have a larger senior dog and want something reliable, visible, and easy to handle, this is the leash to get. Highly recommend for dogs of all ages and sizes, but especially for those golden-year companions!

It is such an expensive product, and spoilt so fast

Me funcionó muy bien para mi monstrua de 2 años, talla grande y loquilla

Büyük köpeği olanlar ve beli ağrıyanlar için kesinlikle tek tercih. 5 senedir XL versiyonunu kullanıyorum. Bahçe ortamında toz toprak çamur, yere düşme, yağmur yeme aklınıza gelebilecek her türlü kötü şartta kullandım ve bana mısın demedi. Şimdi de yeni köpek alan bir dostuma alıyorum ki o da benim köpeğimle ilk yılımda yaşadığım ve bel ağrısına yol açan o ani çekmeleri vs. yaşamasın.

Tried other brands and Flexi is by far superior. Handle is slightly larger than the flexi i bought last year, now i can fit 4 fingers instead of 3. I prefer the tape over rope as it seems more durable. This has a reflective label on both sides that really stands out at night when cars go by. I prefer the braking system on flexi as it is a smooth flat button you depress to stop the tape (momentary). When you let go of the button it releases the tape. There is a recessed lock switch inside the button. Sliding this switch locks/unlocks the brake. This makes one thumb operation effortless. Bought the optional flexi poop bag holder that slides into a groove under the handle. It fits good and dispenses bags easily. Would recommend. We have 4 dogs and about 6 flexi's of various ages. Others are cheaper, but wont use any other brands but flexi. Had one tape chewed about 2ft from the end. Carefully, using a chisel and a screwdriver, I pryed open the flexi, (they use about 5 or 6 metal pins that are pressed into holes in the plastic shells) cut off the chewed part, put the tape thru the snap and sewed it together on a sewing machine using zigzag. Rewound the spring and squeezed it back together.(lining up the pins and squeeze in a vise) Good as new (except for the chisel marks) and it is shorter now. Will buy again.

Best quality, nice colour and style
