This is a great leash, my black GSD is over 100 pounds, and its very steardy, withstands all kinds of weather as well. This is the best that i have found so far,everything else i have tried he has broken

It is very strong and I have used it many times with my 75# Lab & 60 # Golden. I use it for training at a distance and I may not be able to catch my fast Lab but I can certainly catch up to a trailing 50 foot lead. If you are concerned with leash burn.... Wear light gloves or step on the lead if your dog is a strong puller. Always change directions if he/she starts pulling this will let the dog know you are in charge.

this is a good leash and my dog is about the same size. It is a training lead. I have leather ones as well but like this one better since it softens up faster. The bright red is easy to see as well. I had cotton at one time and they degrade too fast. The nylon leads last through many dogs and many years

My pup is a Husky too. This has been a great leash for our walks in the park and has already lasted 3times longer than the first 50 leash I bought(it was a diff brand from our trainer) and this one has a wrist loop,which our old one didn't.... In short... I highly recommend it for a Husky to get the off leash exercise necessary, while on a leash.

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 use it with my dogs that are 30-50 lbs. The material is sufficient for a much larger dog. Of course you will have to watch where leash is when dogs run, so not to get burned or cut by the lead. This would be the case with any long leash. I like that it does have a finished handle, like a regular walking leash, for when we are just ambling in the fields.

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.

This leash is rated to 3000 lbs. I believe. Iv seen tow straps for cars thinner. You failed to mention what kind of dog you intend to tie up... iv seen two German shepherds held to a telephone poll with ten ton rated chain. ... they tilted the poll to the point that the city had to come n straighten it. With that said. Maybe its a good thing ur runners have been breakin... very good leash!!!! holds my 95 lbs. Muscle bound pit bull/ German shepherd just fine... would allow him to rip the bumper right off ur car!!....or pull it down the road for that matter ;)

My dogs are small (6 lbs. 13 lbs) But when the little one pulls on the leash I hold the middle section between the two leashes and ithelps with the pulling. This leash is really a great one as it doesn't tangle and it's heavy duty. (just watch them as sometimes my dogs will go around you which can trip you) But, I think it should hold your dogs.

I think they only come in small or large. The large, which is what I have, is about 75in long. Subtract the dog's torso measurement & that's how much lead you have left. The leash is a heavy material & very well made, ie: if the length will suit your needs.

The leash isn't adjustable. However there is plenty of extra leash for my German Shepherd. He isn't tall, just long. However, they do not recommend dogs under 17lbs to use it. I go about 3-4MPH for my dog. I don't use it with my 20lb beagle pug mix for fear he won't be able to go too far. I think it is up to owner discretion though. If your dog can run, I think he would so ok. The leash almost touches the ground when not attached to a dog. But it also depends on your bike height since it attaches to the seat post. I ride a woman's Trek mountain bike.

I have a 50 lb dog on a 20 foot tether and it works great. I can't imagine having a second tether would be an issue except they may tangle each other up.

⅜ 6ft leash is what I would recommand. It is strong. 6ft is a good length for training a dog. If your dog pulls a lot please teach him not to pull for both your walking pleasure and comfort as well as safety. There many resources to teach you how. I promise you that you will be glad you invested the time. Good luck.

I actually recently found a new harness that I like better than the EZ Walk - it's called the Freedom No Pull Harness. There is a leash you can buy with it that has two straps - so one hooks on the chest and one hooks on the back. That way you have dual control with your lab puppy's pulling. One thing I love about it is that the straps that go under the "armpits" of the dog are lined in swiss velvet so = no chafing. They recommend the medium for 50 pounds, but since it's a lab and will continue growing, I would go with the large. That's what I have for my golden retriever. Good luck!!

I walk my 75 pound Golden Doodle and 40 lb doodle on it. I love the handle for when they pull. Though I use it just the odd time around traffic as they are of leash most of the time. If they are on the leash all the time I would look for something stronger

The leash is a standard size. Say, 5 or 6 feet. It is thinner than your average leash. I am not sure what you will be using it for, but it has been adequate for my 35 pound Corgi & I have plenty of room to move around without getting tangled.

Hi Jessica! Really well, I think. My dog is a 65 lb. German Shepherd/Belgian Shepherd mix and he goes a little crazy excited sometimes when he meets dogs and he has his excitement moments when the metro comes by. I hold him close to me sometimes with the lock on and even if he is trying to go full force (and he's a STRONG dog!), he can't go anywhere. I've had the leash for a few months and use it almost every day, and the lock mechanism still works like the day I got it. Hope this helps!

The Flexi Freedom for a dog over 100 pounds has a larger clip at the end. If you're interested in buying one, I would buy the one for a dog over 100 pounds so you could clip a collar and a harness at the same time. Some people have a tendency to grab the leash when they accidently rub the handle against their hip or leg and the brake on the handle releases. What can happen is, the dog can take off because he was distracted. Don't grab the leash, it can tear off your finger! This incident happened to me and burned my hand.

I have a golden retriever and it has a good 5-6" left or extra. It was the best thing we did. We used it a few times and now we barely put it on her.

I bought this for my Springer Spaniel. I still have it after several years. I definitely think it can handle a 50lb dog.

My 165 lb. great dane is the same, his previous owners never taught him to walk on a leash and the Sporn works perfectly for us!

The cable is recommended for 60 pound dogs. That being said, the tie out is very short and I recommend replacing it anyways. The dog run itself is a very sturdy cable and I don't see an issue with your 80 pound dog unless it's very hard on the cable with excessing pulling. In my case I only used 70ft and was able to use cable cutters to cut off the excess.
