how many of you use a flexi

just out of interest how many of you walk your dogs on a flexi lead ? or do you prefer an ordinary lead ?

i have flexi leads only used them twice couldnt get on with them everytime i pushed the button to shorten the lead it got longer so now the boys are on horse tracers the new one i bought is 15ft long

Give me an ordinary lead ANY DAY. I hate them flexi things. I'm sure they must be good for some but I only recently tried one as Billy Bob arrived with one (and a harness). He now has a normal collar and lead but is learning to walk to heal off lead also. When he arrived he did nothing but pull on the blessed thing. Loathed it (just in case you can't tell)....Perhaps it's just me

If I am just taking out 1 dog I use a flexi....I like them, especially if I am going to a new place....Did once try to walk all three on flexi's, got in a real tangle

I HATE Flexi leads, quite often they do not lock when you want them to and I feel they can be dangerous.

I use a flexi if I am walking somewhere I am not allowed to let the dogs off the lead, but never by the road. I just dont trust them to 'lock' properly if the dog lunges. Not that I am neurotic or anything

I have this vision of you wrapped up like a May Pole

Depends on the walk. Recently been using a long line, with an ordinary lead to get to and from the beach. Chris likes the flexi, and I use it for exploring new places.

I have both but prefer an ordinary lead i feel have more control of the dog that way and don't get tied to the lampposts or tripped over!!

All my leads are Flexi's. I have no problems. I guess I'm just used to them....
