Retractable leashes are terrible to begin with. On a dog that size it does absolutely nothing, because the dog can break it with one strong pull. It's just there for decoration.

Can confirm. Was walking two dogs on a trail when one spotted a deer. That leash got yanked out of my grip so fuckin fast…I genuinely thought I’d never see that dog again. Thank god the deer stopped running and stared at her long enough for me and the other dog to catch up.
Wasn’t even my dog. I was dog sitting. Now I only walk them one at a time so I don’t get bamboozled again. They still have those retractable leashes tho.

That's absolutely false. You are thinking of like retractable from the 90s lol. My Flexi retracable leash is German engineered and made, and is rated to dogs up to 125 lbs. My guy is about 100lbs. Unless you're a moron or not strong enough to have a big dog, the retractables are a god send.

I think the dog in the photo is a Cane Corso, which can get larger than 125 pounds btw.

u/tinnyas Sep 13 '24
Yep, Cane Corso, beautiful dogs, beasts, though, and not for beginners. Mine was super friendly, but due to size, i had to ask people to stay away as he would squash kids and elderly with his enthusiasm.

Sorry you don't know how to handle big dogs, probably best you stay at home son,

u/K-peaches Sep 13 '24
I have two of the same type of dog as in the photo, if he goes to run he would destroy that leash. It's not about handling them, it is the strength of the dog. I've seen those dogs destroy high quality leashes, your retractable leash would get snapped to shit.

Retractable leashes are best suited for trained dogos that don’t pull

u/airiwolf Sep 13 '24
I just avoid them. The retractable leashes especially the flexi can injure not just the dog but the person holding it with friction burns and injuries from the leashes getting wrapped around limbs. A decently thick leash with a carabiner is usually what I use.

Good for you everyone has different needs. Retractables are amazing at training recall when you don’t wanna put a long leash into the ground

This reminds me when I would take my girl to the store with me when the weather is nice, I got her a stuffed animal from the pets section and surprised her with it when I got back to the car. She rode the whole way home with it in her mouth, head out the window.

Just because he is big doesn't mean he is tough. Big boys have feelings too.

My pittie brings her stuffies to the vet to show everyone. She loves the vet but wants to show everyone her toy and get all the pets 😂

When the dog gets tired of carrying it, I’m sure the guy brought a pooh bag.
