Flexi Classic Lead

...our springer spaniel (Jerry) his Flexi lead when he was going on his first holiday because we thought it would be invaluable to allow him to run on the beach. It did serve this purpose, allowing him to go into the sea without swimming out too far. It also meant we could control him easily when we needed to. The one we purchased was an attractive red colour, with black detail such as rubber to protect the lead where it joins. The lead is also available ...
...different modes available for easy use. 1) flexi- This is where the lead is pulled out to maximum length if the dog is moving away from owner. If the dogs is coming towards the owner however, the lead retracts. This means that the lead doesn't get tangled as there is no excess string. This is best when you don't mind your dog having a bit of freedom. I would not recommend this in crowded places or by roads. 2) The seconds 'mode' is temporary restraint ...

Review of Flexi Classic Lead

...straight? Well, buy a Flexi Retractable lead, get a large dog and you too can be Superman! On a normal lead a dog can try and take off (“Wow, that looks like that tasty little bitch from number 32. I’ll just go and say hello”), but can only go a step or two before the lead pulls him up short. On a flexi lead he can get up quite a turn of speed before he hits the end of the lead. Let me explain how the lead works. The lead is coiled ...
...admit it, I have a Flexi lead. I have an elderly (sorry, Luce) rescue dog whom I cannot trust not to bite other dogs. She is always muzzled when she goes out, but she can still be frightening even when she can’t get her teeth into something. She’s developed the deafness that old dogs have – the one where they can’t hear commands, but can hear any movement which suggests that food might be available. The Flexi lead means that ...

Review of Flexi Classic Lead

...give another perspective. The flexi lead is not a long term solution to an aggressive dog or one that will not come back when recalled. It is however proving to be an invaluable training aid. We adopted a dog from a rescue kennels in March. A collie/german shepherd cross, Rebel was seven months old. Born in the kennels he was briefly homed at 10 weeks but returned to the kennels at three months old. When we adopted him, he was totally untrained, ...
...option, until we discovered the flexi lead was to keep Rebel on his head collar at all times - this did not allow him the freedom to run off his considerable energy and frustration. With patient training it became evident that Rebel was a quick learner and wanted to please. He quickly progressed through the training classes at the dog club but had to be withdrawn at intervals due to his boisterousness with other dogs. Rebel will now respond not ...

Review of Flexi Classic Lead

...a stand dedicated to the Flexi lead. The Flexi lead is a 5 or 8 metre coiled lead, encased in a sturdy plastic handle. Whether you choose the 5 or 8 metre cord length, they both come in 3 sizes: 8 metre: Size 1 for Dogs up to 12kg/26Ib Size 2 for Dogs up to 20kg/44Ib Size 3 for dogs up to 50kg/110Ib 5 metre: Size 1.5 for Dogs up 12kg/26Ib Size 2.5 for Dogs up to 20kg/44Ib Size 3.5 for Dogs up to 50kg/110Ib I bought and tried the 8 meter, size ...
...All is not lost though, Flexi leads also have a fully extending, 5 metre tape lead available in all sizes, unfortunately it was not available in an 8 metre length where we were shopping, we exchanged our classic lead for one of the tape leads, the compnay also produce a comfy handle version whereby the grip is made of a rubber material rather than plastic All in all, slightly disappointing for us on this particular product in thier range, and the ...

Review of Flexi Classic Lead

...However, I actually won a flexi lead in a prize draw, luckily it was the right size for my dog, and it's proved worth it's weight in gold. In fact, I even went out and bought another one for my other dog I liked it so much, and although £10 does seem expensive for a dog lead, I believe that it is worth double. The reason why I've found the lead so very useful is that I've recently moved to quite a built up area where it isn't always possible, or ...
...lead. The Flexi lead gives them much more freedom than an ordinary lead whilst keeping them safe. We can even play fetch with the dogs on their flexi leads, although it can be a little annoying when they run across each other and their leads get tangled up. The flexi lead is also incredibly strong. My Border Collie has often made a mad dash after a cat until the lead has pulled her up short but even after several years of (mis)use it has never let ...

Review of Flexi Classic Lead

...the market. The flexi lead is great for bigger and stronger dogs as my friend’s dad’s are. It gives the handler much more control over the dog via the lead. The handler can use the lead to keep the dog as far or as near as he/she wants. You use your thumb to stop the lead from expanding. It’s great for when your in a busy area and therefore need more control over the dog and if you want to bring the dog back to you can do quite ...
...So, when I took the dog out for a walk it was good for both me and the dog The dog has much more distance he could go and I had much more control. The only thing is that don’t over do it, the lead doesn’t mean the dog is confined to it all day. The lead is good to train the dog, talk to it and over time it will understand you. Overall I have found it a very useful lead and it is much easier to handle the dogs and it means walking the ...
