Dragging the Flexi Leash

Tatum has a problem I really need to work on. Okay okay… it’s really the Mum that has the problem. The problem is, the Mum (me) is a clutz, and sometimes drops the flexi leash when I’m walking the dogs.

None of my dogs care.. they drag the bouncing, noisy thing behind them without a care, and come back when I call them.

Tatum, on the other hand, gets very, very afraid when she drags the flexi leash. And so at home I need to have a dog (not her, she is too afraid) drag it around a little bit at a time, so she realizes that it won’t hurt her.

She is so sound sensitive. That girl would be a terror, afraid of nothing, had she been socialized as a puppy!

    Sorry but I think Flexis leashes were invented by Satan himself. I have scars acrossed the backs of my knees from a little minpin dog running a circle around me and burning the skin while his owner was fumbling about trying to get him under control. I loathe the flexis.

    I have heard others being hurt by flexis too. There are ones now that have ribbons as the leash, not those awful cords than can strangle a person, or dog, in minutes. I still love them though, probably since my dogs are so rotten walking on leashes. LOL

    Flexi leashes are so light. They can break quiet easily and you don’t have much control over your dog.

    I prefer using leather dog leash than flexi dog leash as it is stronger and have more control over the dog.
