good for puppys young dogs, handle is separate, locking carabiners on both ends
Color: Orange, Size: 30FT
This is a good sturdy leash but probably wouldn't stand up to a conscientious chewer if your dogo has that bad habit. I like this one because the handle is separate so it can be used both as a tie out lead and as a regular lead. I also like the "locking" carabiners that should not open accidentally. I bought the thirty foot version because my new puppy loves to go outside then refuse to come back in or let me catch him when I need him to come inside (not catching me silly Hooman). When he's bigger I won't be so concerned about him being outside alone but since I'm in a sort of rural area, we have the occasional fox and hawk around when the sun goes down. Not too much to worry about in the way of pests but every puppy parent has an obligation to protect their young'un till they gain some wisdom. I have stairs in the back of the house, the way this is made I can attach it to the banister easily so I don't even need one of those tie stakes that bury in the ground. The price wasn't bad, the hardware looks sturdy and should last awhile. I just also bought the fifteen foot version, same quality as the thirty foot product I like that the handle is separate so it can be used as a tie down or a leash easily. My only big wish would perhaps be some more color choices, the orange is nice for visibility a yellow would be nice and then maybe some other colors like red/purple would be good as well. The thickness of the rope means that it doesn't "easily" get tangled into a giant knot. I leave the back door open and puppers can go in and out as he likes but he also sometimes runs around in the living room and thus far haven't had any large tangles to unwrap. He did manage to get the leash caught around a piece of tree branch that was on the ground (and complained loudly) but that was only because the branch was too heavy for him to drag the lead off of by himself. These leads are worth the money, I will likely buy a couple more to keep in the vehicle and other locations besides home.

My Go-To Leash for Outdoor Fun and Training with My Lab Puppy
Color: Orange, Size: 15FT
The Joytale Long Leash, specifically the 15-foot model, is an exceptional product that has seamlessly integrated into the daily activities of our black lab puppy. Purchasing this leash has proven to be a decision that greatly benefits both our family and our energetic puppy, especially during our adventures in the backyard and while hiking.
The vibrant orange color of the leash stands out, which is not just visually appealing but also significantly enhances safety by ensuring the leash remains highly visible. This feature is particularly useful in varied terrains and during low-light conditions, providing peace of mind that our puppy is always within sight and safe.
The leash's design, featuring a removable padded handle, has been a game-changer for comfort. The padding ensures that our hands are protected from any strain or discomfort, even during those longer hikes or when our puppy gets a bit too excited and pulls. This thoughtful inclusion has made our outdoor adventures much more enjoyable, allowing us to focus on the fun and bonding with our puppy rather than any potential discomfort.
Equally impressive is the double hook mechanism that the Joytale Long Leash boasts. This feature has instilled a great sense of security in us, knowing that the leash is securely attached to our puppy’s collar or harness. It's especially reassuring during hikes in more challenging terrains where a secure leash attachment is crucial for our puppy's safety.
The 15-foot length of the leash has been perfect for our needs. It provides ample space for our black lab puppy to explore and play, whether we're in the backyard or adventuring through hiking trails. This length strikes a perfect balance, offering enough freedom for him to explore while still under our control, facilitating a safe and enjoyable environment for him to learn and grow.
Durability is another aspect where the Joytale Long Leash shines. It has stood up to the rigorous daily activities of our puppy, showing no signs of wear and tear. This durability is not only a testament to the quality of the materials used but also to the thoughtful design that has gone into making this leash a reliable accessory for pet owners.

Great long leash, would buy again
Color: Blue, Size: 30FT
Well-made leash, perfect for recall training and other situations where the dog needs a bit of space to roam without getting into trouble. Seems to be comfortable for the dog, as it is not inhibiting him from running around and playing.
I bought the 30 foot length 3/8” diameter version. Light weight, good value for the price. Best feature is the locking carabiner, because my rescue pup “moonlights” as an escape artist. 🤣🤣
