I have 2 German Shepherds and I am wondering if this leash would work for them. the largest is about 130 pounds and they are both very strong pullers.

I was looking for something retractable but they don't seem to make dual ones for large dogs. Any thoughts?

have you tried the cardio canine hands free dog leash? you can attach up to four dogs. it's like a belt. I got a size larger than I needed because I wanted it to sit on my hips rather than around my waist. That gives you more leverage and balance with multiple dogs. (your shoulders will thank you)

I would try it. It will definitely support their weight as long as you can handle them pulling. Much easier than 2 separate leashes.

The leashes would work fine for your dogs. They are heavy duty. The question is can you withstand the combined pulling power of your two German shepherds? It seems unlikely! I think you'd end up being drug down the road wherever they want to take you, and would be in a dangerous situation If you get your dogs trained to walk properly on a leash, the leash would work fine for you.

If they are both strong pullers it would work but not last too long. Rope thickness is about 1/2 inch thick. Ideally it would work for a 60 pound dogs

Hi Kelsey, 130 is a big dog, I currently have a jack russell and a maltipoo, they are small dogs. However, I do think this leash would work for your german shepherds, if you had a prong collar on them to stop them from pulling. I had a pit mix and she was always pulling, the prong collar worked. Have you thought about a coupling and then a regular leash? Hope this helps! BTW, the leash doesn't have that bungee cord feel I thought it would.

I think they'll pull just as much on this one. Mine are only 45 pounds each, but they still pulled - and I got more tangled in this leash than I do when I use separate leashes (they didn't get as tangled with each other, but I don't really care so much about that). They almost tripped me several times because one would circle around behind me, and you can't untangle this as easily as you can separate leashes.

Leash is like a water ski rope about that weight it has one rubber handle to hold if your dogs are good walkers not pullers this should work. I do see that your dogs are pullers but with botharms using handle it may work. Weight wise I cant comare hope this helps someas my two together only weigh 34 pounds

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.

This leash will work for you and your dogs. It's so strong you could lead a pair of oxen.

I don't see why it would not work. I have a 65lb GSD mix that it works great on. One word of caution though, after using one that worked great for almost 2 years, I decided to purchase 2 more. One was perfectly fine, just like the first one I purchased, but one had too small of a "nub" that holds the collar clip to the leash so it popped off when we were out on our walk. Luckily my dog decided to obey my "sit and stay" command until I could tie the leash on his collar to get him home.

It really depends on the size and girth of the dog's neck. I have a colossal sized German Shepherd. She could easily weigh 100+ pounds. However, I work very hard, run with her and keep her trim. She is able to use the Herm Sprenger 18" Prong Collar with no problem. However, if your dog is very muscular, stout and has a very thick neck (17.5" or larger) . . . I would recommend a larger size. You can purchase extra links to increase the size. If you are going to run or bike with the dog, I would STRONGLY consider a "Gentle Leader" in the stead of a prong collar. I solely (ONLY) utilize the Gentle Leader for biking and running.

I would say yes! We have a 100 lb German Shepherd with separation anxiety, who would break out of everything we put him in, and he's never been able to get out of this! We've had this for 10 months, and is the best investment in our dog that we've ever made! ☺

I had bought it for my 70lb German Shepherd. The issue is that the contact probes aren't that long. If you're looking for a good training collar I'd recommend the Sport Dog brand. Batteries are rechargeable and they have longer contact probes which is great if your dog has a lot of hair. I've had the Sport Dog one for a little over a month and so far I'm pleased.

I think the leash will be large enough to go around your Dane; however, as the leash wraps around the dog it's not going to leave much leash leftover. So he/she would be walking very close to you. I guess you could always try attaching another leash to the handle of this one if you'd like to allow the dog more room like you would have with a regular length leash.

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.

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 have an outward hound, earlier model, the large says 50-79 pounds, I bought it for a 65 pound lab, it was way too big for him, but did fit my 90 pound German Shepherd. The straps are as tight as they'll go for my 77 pound Shepherd and it's really too loose. I'd go by the girth measurement rather than the weight.

I used this with large dogs (90-110lbs) They kept pace with me instead of pulling ahead. I love this. It has helpded leash train my dogs without being pulled off my feet. They have never had a problem moving fast wearing it. but I am not a runner. Re your question. How large is your dog and how well does he/she pace you? This is a snug fit under the foot legs. Can recommend it for training a dog and causual walks. worth the money

I would go with the large one for med to long fur, unless your German Shepard has short fur. I use the large for long fur on both my dogs, one has long fur he is 70 lbs , the other has short fur and he is 45 lbs.

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.

We have 2 dogs, 50 lbs each. When they walk and I have the stroller, I find it best to have the stroller on the side of me. Dogs with leashes in one hand, stroller on the otherside. Rather than push stroller from behind, I have my hand on the frame of stroller and kind of pull it along side. Must use regular leashes (not the retractable) when using the stroller. Can be tricky when dogs want to sniff elsewhere, but benefits FAR outweigh the "dance" with the leashes. The 14 year old terrier can walk her 3/4 mile and then rest her old bones the rest of the walk while the younger dog gets her longer walk. Really great purchase for our dogs! Oh, and I'm 5'3".

I haven't noticed a problem. My dogs are 20 and 26 lbs. Each leash is independent and just goes up to the one handle. Sorry I'm not describing it very well. I find this much easier than using two separate leashes.

Yes I would.... I have a 11 lb shihtzu & a 7lb Maltese and I use these leads on them. You just need to properly put it at the highest part of there neck for it to work correctly but it has been great for all my dogs. I even have a larger slip leash I bought for my 80 lb german shepherd.

We use it for our 2 German Shepherds. It's a great training tool and was recommended to us by a training professional. It works really well for our big dogs.
