Extendable and retractable dog leads can be adjusted to a certain length and locked in place during a walk. They are available in a number of different lengths and styles.

Flexi Classic Tape Black 8m | This is by far the best retractable dog lead I have used. 8m give my dog plenty of freedom and the retractable system is excellent.

Flexi Dots Pink | This lead is fabulous for my inquisitive girl. I'm loving the 5 metre length and shorter if you want. Always retracts smoothly. Great quality - KERRI |
Flexi Classic Tape Black | An excellent product to allow your dog freedom without the worry of potential escapism. Also an excellent product to use if you have a sore back or sore feet as it allows your dog greater movement without the heavy pulling and strain on your arms, back and feet. Definitely made walking my dogs an enjoyable pain free experience. - CATHY |
Retractable leads are a popular choice amongst dog owners. Retractable leads allow your dog to extend their radius during walks to sniff and explore more than traditional dog leads. However, it is important to remember that with this extra freedom you won't have as much control over your dog.
This can be a problem if your dog scavenges on walks, or if you are on a walking route likely to encounter other dog walkers. When selecting a retractable leash, ensure you choose one with a reliable locking mechanism allowing more control over your dog when you are out walking.
Choosing the appropriate size and weight capacity for a retractable dog lead is vital to ensure the safety and comfort of your pet and factors like breed, size, amd the strength of your dog will be imprtant. For example, smaller dogs may require a lighter, thinner cord or tape, while larger, more powerful breeds will need a stronger, more durable material. Additionally, the handle size and grip should be comfortable for the owner to hold and control.
