Would this leash work for pit bulls?

If your dog is well behaved, this lead is perfect. If your dog tugs and pulls then you should look into a restraining type of leash.

I think it would work for any dog. But my dog is not a tugger, he just gently walks beside us. He's a rescue boxer mix, and he just came to us that well trained. But the leash itself is very well made and tough.

Yes. If your pit bull is fully grown (adult), it's perfect if you get the bigger size. But I'm no expert if you're looking for a leash with a goal to train your dog.

Hi, I cant really answer that question because I dont know any pit bulls and I am not an official dogtrainer. Since this lead is not very expensive, I would just order one and try it out. Good luck!

Hi, I have a "mut" that is supposedly quite a mix; Akida, Wire Haired Datshund and American Bassethound and Doberman...well, he is 9 months, 50 lbs and SO SWEET. I have been training him since 3 months to be a service dog that can go into hospitals. Elderly, Sick Children and Chemo patients. The most important part of his training is to "heel" ALWAYS on my command. He is still a puppy and although pretty amazing...he tugs away at another dog...sometimes a blowing leave!! I tried a few collars/harnesses and leashes and this is the one I like best. It is EASY on/off. I HATE those metal "choke" collars, I don't care what the reviews say...they hurt!! This collar takes a little toll on your hands if your dog is strong but..I think the humanity of it is worth it. One quick tug and strong voice of discipline has been working for me. As a matter of fact..I just bought a few to give out at our dog park to some new doggie friends! I hope this helps. How much does your dog weigh?

While I have only used this leash on pit bull puppies so far, I have used it on larger, strong dogs and it worked very well. I would think that it would work on a pit bull.

I have a "mutt" who is a lab and pit bull mix...although the vet. doubts this mixture...she is medium sized and currently weighs 60 bounds and 5+ years.. She has a big back yard to roam free in and when loose she can have selective hearing, but minds well with this lease. I have used many collars and Easy Walker on her, but both of us like the Slip Lease the best....It is easy to get on and easy to pull off....best of all she does not fight it. Hope this is helpful.....

In my opinion a leopard gecko, even full grown, would be too small to use this leash. I would skip it

I think it would work fine. We have a 90lb Bull Mastiff/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix and it works great for him. He doesn't have the thick hair, but is a large dog and reacts to the collar. We actually only use the vibrate function, since that gets his attention and has been an excellent training tool.

My 55 & 45 lb. Pit mixes are fine with them. The collar has holes almost the whole way around. You could cut the extra off as its just plastic. I saw them in UAE on pit bull puppies, certainly less than 30lbs. at a training session, so I believe they would be fine. My pit/hound mix responds to the vibration & the other is a little more stubborn, needing the static shock. I had back surgery & these collars allow me to control them both on & off the leash. It has also helped to stop unwanted behavior with only a couple of zaps.

It might. The video with the training techniques is helpful if you follow the instruction and training consistently. My 3 year old schnauzer-terrier mix learned quickly not to pull on the leash. It wasn't not effective at teaching him not to jump on people or 'counter-surf' to steal food. We used the techniques from the video and got a shock collar. It only took two zaps to teach him and an occasional buzz of sound to remind him and he rarely jumps! So the collar works for mild-mannered dogs but the technique works for more rambunctious fellow.

Didn't stop my pit bull from chasing geese. It really depends on your dog what works for some may not work for others. Unfortunately you'll have to try it to find out.

Yes. I used it for a 9 month old black lab I was fostering. He was medium size, about 40 pounds and pulled extremely hard. This leash worked amazing with him.

Yes it would. the collar was very long and sturdy not cheaply made. i have a pitbull who is crazy and this collar has done wonders for me. all i do now is show her the remote and she will settle down right away.

No, because it needs a hard lip to clamp to. You would be better off with a leash type.

I have this leash for my two 50 lb. dogs. I believe the company makes one for smaller dogs.

Yes, i use it on my boxer and it works great. It should work fine for any size dog

It should unless your pit bull is really large. Either way you can buy additional links that click right in for a few extra bucks.

No....dont get this, your dog will take it from you and hit you with it. All jokin aside, it did not work with a pit bull.

Use: 65 # female Pit Bull. Well trained, soon to be a therapy dog. The material isn't too bad but if it pulls through your hands it will burn. I would suggest wearing gloves if you think that is going to be an issue. It is a great leash for giving your dog the feeling of freedom yet keeping it safe from traffic.

I believe that it would...it is based on both verbal and hand signals. The collar gives a slight bite when used correctly and with my dogs it was a very quick process. It also worked on a pitbull puppy that I was helping my daughter train to walk on a lease. He also learned quickly. I think the product is great and would recommend it to anyone. It must be used correctly though ( I watched the DVD several times before each lesson to make sure I was following MY directions for proper technique and consistency ) and ONLY with just enough force to get the results. Good luck with your puppy :) I believe that it would...it is based on both verbal and hand signals. The collar gives a slight bite when used correctly and with my dogs it was a very quick process.

Yes I believe it would, the main thing is to ensure that his collar is on snug around his neck or using a harness. My dog is 90lbs and while he pulled hard when he was a puppy up until he was about 3, at 10 years old he still pulls but no where near as much as he used to.

I only use regular leather leashes so I don't know if it will work with the retractable kind.
