Let's Talk 🗣️ Part 2:
The Extendable (Flexi) Lead ✨🐕🦺
The lead everyone loves to debate... 😂
When used correctly, an extendable lead can be a great tool! 🐾
Think wide open parks, fields and countryside where your dog has the freedom to safely sniff, explore and enjoy a little more independence.
They're not designed for loose lead walking, busy pavements or close-quarter environments where you need your dog by your side.
✨ The Plus Points
More freedom to explore, no trailing line to manage and quick, convenient to use.
One thing they're not... they're not a replacement for a long line when practising recall.
The Technical bits & bobs -
🔸Choose a trusted well reviewed brand like Flexi ( also Maya approved ✅)
🔸Go for a tape lead, not a thin cord
🔸Check it's rated for your dog's weight
🔸Regularly inspect the tape and locking mechanism
🔸Use in open spaces, not busy streets
Top tip 👉 Take a secondary lead like the Halti Multi Lead from Part 1 you can wear it across your body ( hand free 👐) and switch out if your walk is in varied areas 🏘️🌳
The right tool, in the right place, for the right reason. 🐾✨
