Guide Dog Leash

I adore this leash. I've used it for almost 3 months, so figured it was time to review it. it's easy to hold in the same hand I hold my guide dog's harness handle. I bought the large and it's so lightweight and is the perfect length, both when shortened and at its longest length.

I'd really like to see a smaller width leash in future, please. 3/4" is definitely better than 1", but I'd love a 1/2" width leash if possible.

Wich, on 1 hand, is nice because its secure, but on the other, it can be tricky to open.

I like just how quick it is to lengthen and shorten. It's the perfect length long-wise to let my guide use the bathroom or have a sniffie break. I was…
