AllPetSolutions Retractable Tape Dog Lead - Black - 8m

A retractable tape lead that gives your dog room to explore while you keep control. The flat nylon tape resists tangling better than a cord, and a single thumb button brakes and locks it wherever you want. This is the 8 metre version, built for larger breeds up to 50kg.

Key features

• Extends to 8 metres, suitable for dogs up to 50kg such as a Labrador, Boxer or German Shepherd
• Flat nylon tape, stronger and less prone to tangling than a thin cord
• Anti-slip brake and release button, worked with one thumb
• 360° rotating anti-twist lobster clip with push quick release
• Anti-tangle, anti-twist feeder
• Soft grip handle for comfort on longer walks
• Lightweight and easy to carry

Is 8 metres right for your dog?

Choose by weight rather than length — the weight rating is what the braking mechanism is built to hold. At 50kg this is the strongest lead in the range, and the extra length suits open fields and beaches rather than pavements.

Using it safely

Lock the lead short near roads, in car parks and around other dogs, and only let the tape run out in open space. Keep a firm hold of the handle: a large dog that bolts at full extension pulls hard. Check the tape for fraying from time to time, and never grab a moving tape with your bare hand.

Other options

The same lead comes in six colours with 3m, 5m and 8m lengths, and there is a 5m version with a rechargeable LED light for darker evenings.
