I stopped using these things… I guess if you have a teacup sized dog they are fine, but for bigger dogs they are NOT strong enough!!! Thanks for posting this Monica… ;)

I hate these things.... When i worked at the dog daycare we did not allow them used due to issues with employees not locking them and the dog taking off -- many minor injuries to be had

I agree-I hate those leashes, no matter what the size dog!:evil: Might as well use a shoe-lace!

I hate them! It always worries me when I am driving and I see someone walking their dog with one, that their dog is suddenly going to run out into the road in front of me. It can happen in a split second if the dog sees a squirrel or a cat. They are not safe.

Never used them because they always looked so flimsy and I like to keep Bazza close for both of us :-)
