Primal Pet Gear Dog Leash 8ft Long - Blue - Traffic Padded Two Handle - Heavy Duty - Double Handles Lead for Control Safety Training - Leashes for Large Dogs or Medium Dogs - Dual Handles Leads

First, getting a few emails from the seller asking how we are liking it was really nice! I live off of reviews, so here is mine.....We LOVE the leash. We have about 5 hanging up and I guess it really is a matter of which one fits right. We have a Doubledoodle (Goldendoodle/Labradoodle mix) and she is a big girl, but with her hair off now she is smaller and has much more agility with all her fluff, plus she is only 1 and still growing and still growing out of her puppy ways! We have a few of the standard leashes which I guess are about 5 feet. We live on the 3rd story so we are constantly all day walking up and down the stairs with her, with that alone we needed more slack on the leash. She will stop at each landing, but me being shorter than my boyfriend I just couldn't handle that feeling like she was going to tug even while doing the right thing. So this leash has helped immensely in solving this problem. It also allows us the proper amount of space. The retractable leashes are the most dangerous things in my mind. I had 2 situations with them that didn't prove to be well. One, Molly ran as a baby to someone who is handicapped and would have knocked her over, the leash wouldn't retract, I grabbed it and it burnt my skin right off. Second time again it just wouldn't lock and retract and we were in a roadway. So we knew we needed a good, durable, no puppy chew through, leash that would give a huge dog enough room to roam, but also know when she needs to be at our side. My FAVORITE part of this leash hands down is the handles. First that they are both padded soooo nicely! I hold on to them for dear life (haha) because of how big Molly is, they are my safety to keep her safe from any car or anything running our way (Molly has been attacked by a dog out of no where so it is important to me to feel like I have a good grip on her). And my part of my favorite is the short strap. When someone is coming out of their door when we are going down the stairs or when we are on the street or coming by a non-friendly dog, it is SO great to just pull up the first strap and hold on rather then raveling the leash around my wrist a million times or grabbing it in a way that just slips out. On top of everything else mentioned, it's super durable, thick, my dog will turn and chew when she gets really playful but nothing the leash can't handle! It's hands down the best leash!!! My only recommendation would be that if you have a smaller dog than the little pony we have, I would get the 5-6 ft' one which would give plenty of room. The 8 ft is perfect for large dogs wanting/needing that extra room!

I have an 85 lb dog in which I need a heavy duty 8 ft leash. The double handle is great in crowds, crossing the street and other times where needed. Handles are padded enough for comfort. Leash is light and the material seems like it might be water resistant. The clasp is very sturdy. The thickness of the leash is a little thinner than expected but I believe it to be strong enough for my large strong husky.I ordered it and it arrived the next day! 8 foot leashes are somewhat hard to find!

I like the dual loop so I can control my pet in close quarters. Having the longer lead option is helpful to provide a little freedom too. Great quality and reasonably priced

This is the second one of these eight foot double-handle leashes I have purchased and the moment I opened it I knew there was a difference. The first one I purchased in 2017 was of a thicker, material, stitched together very well and is still going strong. It looks nearly like it did when purchased, it shows little signs of wear and no signs of fraying anywhere and has been used nearly every day since it was purchased. This second purchase is a still a good leash and seems sturdy and the extra handle makes it easier to hold my Great Dane puppy closer to my body when needed. It is just not made with the same material as the first purchase. I was just a bit disappointed that for around the same price, the leash made now, in my opinion, is a lower quality item. Only time will tell if it holds up like the one I purchased five years ago. In the photos the one on the left is the older item. The newer one, on the right, has different stitching which are for looks, not for function like the one on the left. The handle padding appears and feels to be nearly the same and the same hardware was used. Both have the Primal Pet Gear logo sewed on. If this is your first purchase of the item you should find it satisfactory but if it is a subsequent purchase of this item you will notice the quality difference. Hope this helps!

Got this for my Cane Corso Pit mix so that I can walk him in a way that allows me distance control. Since he’s much too powerful to have on any kind of retractable leash, this was the ultimate solution to me having to have multiple lengths leads with me. Both the grip handles are padded which gives me even more confidence while walking with him. I use the shorter grip for more structured walks and let the leash go to it’s 8 ft length when our outings are more of an exploratory nature. The leash line itself is very sturdy, thick, and made of quality material. I guess only time will tell how it holds up long term, but you can see that it is well made even by the precise stitching along the edges, so I am confident that it will stand the test of time. I would 100% recommend this leash to anyone looking to comfortably walk their dog, especially if your dog is one that has a little more power behind them. I only wish that these guys made a long recall training lead that is of this high quality and durability.

These last many years, even for great Danes. The front handle is for good control. So far none have broken.
