I recently surveyed the L regarding Flexi leads (cord versus webbed). I believe I thanked everyone who replied to me privately, but was remiss in thanking those who responded to the List. I really do appreciate everybody's input. A synopsis of the results:
1) Flexi leads are the greatest invention on the face of the earth 2) Flexi leads are the worst invention on the face of the earth 3) Corded leads are surprisingly strong 4) Longest and strongest is the way to go 5) Regardless of the construction (cord or web), it's pretty much a given that my shoulder will be - or will just feel - dislocated at some point courtesy of a runaway Berner. Since the Berner-L camp was divided on which way to go, I purchased what appealed to me. I found a nice green lead that just happens to be webbed. After a week of using it, I can honestly say I love it!!! I'd thought that 16 feet would be long enough, but it's a lot shorter than I'd imagined. Maybe Santa will bring us a longer one ... although longer = heavier. Jake is very happy with the new freedom, and we cover more ground on our walks since I no longer have to stand and wait for him to stop sniffing. While the 6-foot leather lead will still be used when manners are required, the Flexi is perfect for our early-morning and late-evening jaunts. A very wise investment all around! Thanks so much to everyone who took the time convey their experiences with and impressions of Flexi leads!
