Which do you prefer?

My favorite is a nice worn leather leash :)

I HATE retractable leads.

chain, because whenever we take Jess to the groomers, she chews on the leash to get away. we got tired of buying new leashes every 3-4 weeks, so we just bought a chain leash with a nylon or leather handle.

Nylon.


I don't really like chains because they're hard. Leather is too tough, so I only like it if it's worn.

Retractables.. I just don't trust at all.

I like nylon, but mostly because I'm silly and like them for the pretty colors and prints. A few of the dogs I walk use retracable and they are a little too modern for me. I have problems with them and I'm never able to retract them when I need to.

We have all of the ones you listed, and each are used for different purposes. The nylon are the most practical, but when I walk my dogs, I usually use the retractable ones so they feel a little "freer". For more control, I either use the six foot nylon or a 3 ft braided leather leash (always use this one for the vet).

I'm with Logan.

I use the nylon ones most of the time. For a walk, I'll use the retractable. I thought retractables were pretty flimsy until I used one on a big, strong, lunging dog and it held very well.

I have one leather handled chain leash for rescues/fosters. It doesn't get much use anymore.

I use Leather for Obedience classes and trials, as they look nice ;) Not that the judges take any notice of our leads LOL.

Nylon for getting to and from the park. None when we get there.

I also do not trust retractable leads at all, Clover had one that broke after a few times using it and a friend of mine got one for one of their Boxers and it broke the first time they used it (It was supposed to be good quality) :eek:.

My Mums Penny uses one and has been using the same retractable lead for a few years now and it is still going strong. :)

Leather is still my favourite though. :)

Thanks everyone.:)
