We use a metal wire lead with our dog in the back yard, so I thought these would be a good addition to make the lead more comfortable for him. I had no problem attaching it to the end, and so far it seems to be working well to give him a little bit of elasticity at the end of the lead. Especially since he's an aging dog, we've been trying to reduce wear and tear on his muscles and joints.The quality seems overall to be pretty good. The fabric is a durable, waterproof fabric. We leave it outside, and it hasn't held the moisture during rainy days, which is nice. I do wish the metal clip on the end was a little bit stronger feeling. It's very lightweight metal compared to the clip on his lead, and it felt like it could use a little oil to get the springs moving a little more smoothly. Our dog is 100lbs, and if he was younger, I might have been worried about the clip holding up. But so far, it's held up well.Because of the short length of this, the clips fall around his feet, so it adds a little bit of clunkiness when he's coming back in the door, but I think it just took a day or two for him to get used to it, and it's not a major issue.

The elasticity is good however it’s very heavy making you constantly keep the leash taut

They weigh the leashes down and makes it hard for the leash to retract.

Works great with my strong large standard poodle. Not for use at dog collar as it is too heavy but perfect and very necessary for using at the tethered end of a yard line.

This makes it easy to avoid the shock to your doggos neck and your arm! We still feel confident and in control without the heavy tug that happens when your pup reaches the end of the leash. Easy to remove if the situation calls for tighter control.

We have a yearling (under 50lbs) and used this like everyone else by extending his leash to give him more space at the lake.It snapped the very first day. Will be returning.

The clip and loop are almost bigger than my dog. Unbelievable inaccurate advertising.

These bungee cords reduce the force of impact on your dog, as well as your your wrist, shoulder, and other body parts when your dog suddenly bolts after a cat, squirrel, another dog, etc. A while back our 48 lb dog yanked my wife down on gravel when she was looking the other way, and bloodied her head. Our neighbor not long after had the same thing happen to her with her 75 lb dog, and they had to pull tiny pieces of gravel out of one of her eyes, among other facial injuries. We got bungees after that. Not sure they would have prevented these incidents, but they help reduce the likelihood and the impact of hard, abrupt pulls.One physics lesson I learned years ago was that increasing the time over which an impact occurs (even fractions of a second) reduces the force received. This principle is used in today's guard rails and auto crumple zones designed to significantly reduce the impact on occupants in a crash by both distributing the impact, and by increasing the time over which the impact occurs. The principle is also applied to modern seat belts, in which they expand some distance out of their housing to delay the impact time and force exerted on your abdomen, ribs, etc., vs. the impact occurring all at once.Bungies also make it more comfortable on you and your dog from just the typical pulling encountered during walks. We also use auto security straps equipped with bungees for our dogs when they go for a ride. Our dogs also wear pet vests with a ring along the back where we hook the leash and the auto strap. The vests distribute the force of impact around the body, vs. being concentrated on their neck. Not only safer but more comfortable on them.These particular bungees will wear out after so many uses, but we've used others that break down faster. The price is also pretty reasonable for two, and we've never experienced a hardware failed. Our dogs are about 50lbs and one works well for each. For bigger or powerful dogs you may want to consider using two side-by-side.

nice and elastic, gives the dogs a little extra space on my two-dog leash so the bigger one doesn't jerk the little one around so much
