Best leash ever!!!
I have a 10 month old puppy with an incredibly high prey drive.
In a nutshell, my puppy would take off after bunny, every branch, every leaf, everything that he perceived had moved within his vision.
I walk my dogs religiously every evening. I will walk more often if it’s not too hot during the day.
I always used a retractable leash for our evening walks.
This was the walk for them to enjoy.
I didn’t want to be too rigid or enforce our training. I wanted them to enjoy their neighborhood, plus it always helps to tire them out for the evening.
The puppy had so much more energy than our older dog, so I’d drop the older dog at home after a short walk & then take the puppy out on his own.
He was having so much fun on our evening walks, but his constant taking off after every thing that moved, really started hurting my back & it felt like he was going to injure my shoulder.
I was starting to dread our walks.
I figured that someone had to have experienced what I was experiencing, so I would google everything for hours on end to see if anyone had a suggestion.
One evening, I saw something about a leash with ABS.
It was about to launch, so I couldn’t find that much about it, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to try.
I didn't think it would help, but I was desperate.
The first time I walked him, it was working. I was amazed. It didn’t yank him, which is what I expected.
It ‘put the brakes on him’, but not an immediate stop.
It actually worked similar to stepping on the brakes in my car.
I thought it was amazing, but figured he’d break it after a few uses.
A week later it was still working.
It’s been a month now & I'm thrilled to report that it still works as well as it did the first time we walked with it.
One night into this experiment, I grabbed his other retractable leash to see if The Autobrake leash was really making that much of a difference.
We went down the block once & I couldn’t get home fast enough. It was back to the back pain & him jerking my shoulder so badly that I swore I was never using a regular retractable leash again.
And luckily, I don’t have to.
I highly recommend this leash.
I’ve also had the opportunity to communicate with the folks behind the leash.
It started because I messaged customer service about ordering the leash to begin with.
Since then, they’ve been following up with me.
They’ve been so wonderful, so kind, so personable & so incredibly helpful.
And, their turn around response time is incredible.
I can’t say enough good things about this leash, as well as the company people behind it.
Thanks for saving my back, my shoulder & my evening walks with my puppy.
