Actually, I never wanted a Flex line (no matter from which manufacturer), because I knew only the lines with the thin thread as an extension and I was too insecure for my strong pulling 20kg dog. By chance I discovered this model and am very excited. Previously I used a towline at forest walks. Unfortunately, these sands are constantly on the ground and is doing dirty. Do you have to touch the canvas once, you will also dirty. All this has not in the Flexi leash. The flexi leash is a bit heavy, but fits comfortably in your hand.
Small (negligible) Cons:
* Sometimes "clacks" the leash and my very terrifying dog had to get used to the noise only
* I have found no way to tie the dog with the leash somewhere
* Dog to retrieve something difficult. Ex .: When the dog takes advantage of the 8 m and suddenly but must be kept short, which is a bit difficult. I pick then in the webbing and pull the dog to me. In this case, this is uncomfortable, because the band "intersects" a little. This can of course be avoided by if you have a dog that comes back on demand.
In "normal" walks I also used to continue a "normal" line. In the streets, it is easy to often necessary that I have to take shorter the dog and I'm not sure I can really trust the locking knob. Would this be solved suddenly, that would be a disaster!
Too bad also that there is the "more fashionable" models for small dog.
