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.....

If your dog is a medium to large dog then it would be suitable because it's a very long lead leash,but if your dog is smaller than I would go with a shorter lead leash.

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.

To be honest I'm not sure. Our dog is 70 lbs and we have no problems. It is thicker than many other leashes.

Yes.This leash was suggested by a friend who is an avid hunter. It is the best leash I have every used. My dog is 45 pounds, can be rather strong when she sees a rabbit and with this leash, I have no problem restraining her.

Yes. My dog used to take me for walks, LOL. At first he would still try to walk me but after switching to this collar it has stopped his pulling considerably. The thing I love most about this collar is that it does not tighten to a full choke like a choker collar does. It tightens enough to stop my dog from pulling but does not choke him. I have a 70+ pound American Pit Bull Terrier and there is no way he is going to slip out of this collar which was my main reason for purchasing this collar. Hope this helps!

I think it will. The issue is the muzzle loop, and setters have narrow muzzles. It would not fit a boxer or pit bull

Yeah I think it would work on your 50lb pitbull. I used it on my Shepard/pit mix and she's about 50+lbs. I did notice that my Shepard/pit mix doesn't shed as much as my lab mix. The FURminator works wonders!

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.

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

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.

The small would not be sufficient for a 70-pound pit. However, while working with a couple animal rescue groups, we've used the 6-foot version, which is made of thicker cord. For a couple of the dogs that pull all the time, after placing the loop around the neck, you could then run a loop around the dog's torso. That shortens the lead, and offers an additional measure of control.

I've used it on a Aussie Cattle Dog, smaller than a Shepherd about the size of a Boxer. Works well for a pulling dog! It's worth a try.

Yes, it should work. You just need to remember not to allow any slack or they can slip out, but not so tight it chokes them. The only reason I use slip leads is because I have a chi mix who can slip a collar no matter how snug it is. For most of my dogs I don't need slip leads but for a couple of them, I do.

I would say no, I have a pit bull that just turned one this month that I used this crate for and he chewed part of it off and bent the bars.

I have been using this leash for over a year for my 65 pound Pit Bull and it is still like new. I would recommend it highly, especially over any of the cotton ones.

I would think it would. My dog does the same and so far the leash is still good. We just are careful not to let her chew on it for too long.
