I've used the product for about two weeks. Only irritation is that it sags in the middle, the clip to keep the two ropes together is a little heavy which causes a sag. But over all cute, seems to work as needed! I haven't done a long hike with it yet. But seems steadier than other leashes. Recommend.I have 80 pound plott hound who loves to pull. We are pretty active. What interested me in the product is the ability to go from one length to a smaller one. So we could go on hikes or go out to eat and stay close. Excited for the continuous use of this product.
