Would this leash with-stand light chewing by a dog who enjoys "walking himself" ie: pulling his end of the leash in his mouth?

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.

Holding it and pulling should hold up, chewing maybe not depending on how much force, it's not very wide and a little chewing might be enough to go right through it.

Yeah I think so... It's a pretty good quality leather... Unless he just sits down and chews it you should be fine!

I have mine as a safety precaution for my dog...She is on retractable leash w/harnesses when we go trail walking.

I have 3 dogs, one small and two medium, that have had them on for 5 months now with no problems. I have heard stories of people trying to use them with a leash and that didn't work out so well for them because of the breakaway feature.

Yes it could be used as a normal leash. Just make sure to that it can not go over your dogs head. I would no recommend it to be used as a normal leash if a dog does not walk nicely as it will choke the dog when they pull.

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.

My 75 lb Golden pulls sometimes when she needs to stop and pooh. It only moves me enough to give me a signal, but doesn't cause a problem. If I don't want to stop I peddle faster, which seems to encourage her to run instead of stop. Only if I were going very slowly would it be a problem.

There is another collar that comes with this leash. You can wrap the collar around the collar that is on your dog so if they were to pull, ther is an extra one as a helper. as a saftey one, so ass not to break your collar

We use the gentle leader split leash with a golden and doodle (larger dogs) but they were well trained on split leash walks already. The doodle hates the gentle leader and wants to pull it off but if we keep him on task during the walk he forgets about it after a couple of blocks. Our dogs just walk and don't stop to sniff or pee...they don't go to socialize but rather to exercise. Maybe that's why the gentle leader works as it doesn't give them time to mess with it.

That totally depends on the dog I think. It's not harmful to the dog...it's just that if they pull, since the leash is attached under the nose, it pulls their head downward, which stops them from seeing ahead, so they stop pulling in order to bring their head up. I don't have plans to stop using it...it chokes less than a normal collar on a dog that pulls.

Sorry meant to hit no, this leash is pretty light weigh. he wouldn't even notice he's using it!

Depends on how much of a chewer your dog is and how big the antler is. As soon as my dog (a St. Bernard) chews it down to where he can fit the whole thing in his mouth, I toss it. I'm pretty sure he's smart enough to not swallow it whole, but you never know :-)

Probably. It would be a very short leash if you put it around his/hers torso stomach area. Lenghth is a little long for my 15 pound dog.

The jerky is sliced really thin and it is soft. It shouldn't be a problem for your dog to chew. I cut the pieces into smaller bite size pieces for my dog. Your dogs will love it!

I think I would still have your dog wear a regular collar if you use a leash for walking.

No my female husky likes to pull but my male Malamute does not long story short she pulled the hook off .PS The add for this leash says it can hold up to 500lbs Not true.

I would assume so. We have a dane mix who is quite strong and we are not as physically able as once we were. Walking him was difficult for us. With this harness he cannot pull. Anyone can walk him without issue. He is not bothered at all by it. He reacts just like when we get the leash, excited. It is a great tool.

It feels solid when locked. Our 62 lb Husky/Lab mix hasn't lunged on it yet (cats pick on her and require lunges) but the retracting spring holds the line taunt and she is very sensitive to that, returns to my side when I don't mean for her to. Our previous leash kept the line off the ground but did not pull. I really hope this one relaxes a little because that's the whole purpose of a retractable - give them scratch & sniff room without requiring your presence in the shrubs! If she was a "tugger", this would be ideal.
