Flexi New Classic Retractable Dog Cord (Black) (8m)

We've been using this product for 7 years, and the quality is excellent. Size M fits perfectly. We especially like the pouch for bags, which is convenient during dog walks. The option to add a flashlight for nighttime walks is fantastic. It's comfortable to hold in hand, and the leash has a strong and durable cord. The biggest plus is the 5-meter leash. It allows us to let the dog roam at a considerable distance, giving her a sense of freedom. We highly recommend Flexie rouge to other dog owners!

The Croquetteland Flexi New Classic Rouge 3 à 5 m leash is a decent choice for those who want a simple and functional retractable leash. It extends up to 5 meters, providing ample space for your dog to explore while still being under control. The design is straightforward, and the red color adds a nice touch. However, the handle could be more ergonomic for better comfort during long walks. Handle itself is too heavy and chunky. Overall, it does the job, but there are more comfortable options available.

Our previous retractable dog leash started fraying and jamming after about 6 months of use. We needed a new one so I did some research and found this to be a reputable high quality brand. Have used the leash for a few days now and it seems to be performing better than our old leash. It does not jam at all, it retracts much quicker, and is tangle free. The size of the handle is perfect and fits snuggly in my hand. We will see how it holds out overtime, but so far so good! I highly recommend this leash!

BABY HANDS!!

Needed a shorter leash for city walking and wanted it to be retractable (my dog gets tangled up a lot in regular leashes). I had bought regular flexi leashes before and liked them well enough. To get a shorter leash length, I had to get flexi's XS size. My dog is only 20 lbs and fairly calm, so worked fine with flexi's suggested size range.Leash showed up today and the entire leash including the handle is so tiny it's almost unusable. I could only fit two fingers into the hand hold (three if I really squished them) and the lock/retract mechanism felt very flimsy. I understand small dogs may not need a heavy duty locking mechanism, but with how small the handle is, there is no way you can confidently (or comfortably) keep a grip on the handle with even a small, ... MoreNeeded a shorter leash for city walking and wanted it to be retractable (my dog gets tangled up a lot in regular leashes).

Unless you are a toddler looking for a leash for your battery operated dog, buy anything else.

Best Retractable Leash I've Bought

Something I never skimp out on is a nice good quality leash for my dog, and this is one of them. The price point is a little higher for most retractable leashes, but it's more then worth it. The handle feels good quality and great, and the actually leash feels very nice. I wouldn't recommend this if someone has a dog that runs around them often during walks as the material is thick and unforgiving. Meaning, it can definitely cause some serious rope burns unlike the more ribbon retractable leashes. But overall, is really good for what I need.

Don't bother

First Flexi lead tape was chewed through in one go, so Pets at Home were good enough to replace it with a corded Flexi lead, within hours, the tape had been destroyed, literally with one bite. Have now had to tie the tape part of the lead into knots and buy a chew proof extension lead.Our previous dog had an earlier Flexi cord lead, and he never managed to destroy it, so, we thought we'd carry on with Flexi for our, now 10 month old dog.We're now looking for a good chain style lead, and hope it lasts a bit longer.The only plus side to the Flexi lead is that it gives the dog a bit more freedom, especially as we live on the coast.I would definitely say not worth the money, overpriced for the brand name.

I don't trust it. Does not use the same tape as Flexi Giant

On LEFT side of picture is Flexi Neon Size L. On RIGHT side of picture is a well used Flexi Giant Size L.I gave 1 star because the Flexi Neon tape does not seem like very good quality compared to the Flexi Giant. The Flexi Neon tape is less wide and less thick than the Flexi Giant, even though they are both size L. The Flexi Neon tape feel sorta flimsy and plastic. While my dog doesn't pull that much on leash, I still do not trust the Flexi Neon tape because I think it would break after one mistake of him trying to chase a bunny.I've been using the Flexi Giant size L for my 58lb Standard Poodle for about a year now and we LOVE IT. We use it for hiking, playing at the beach, and in fields for practicing recall. I just wish the Flexi Giant came in a shorter length ... MoreOn LEFT side of picture is Flexi Neon Size L.

I just wish the Flexi Giant came in a shorter length because I would love a 10ft or 16ft for neighborhood walks or hiking on tight trails. I bought the Flexi Neon because it has the 16ft length and I was hoping that the quality of the tape would be as good as the Flexi Giant. Unfortunately it is not.If your dog makes any mistakes during your walks, such as chasing animals, I would not recommend the Flexi Neon. I would definitely recommend the Flexi Giant as long as your dog doesn't chew on it and doesn't consistently sprint to the end of the tape.

Quality product that works for a loooooong time!

I like the Flexi brand retractable leashes, as they have proven to be quality products. I'm not sure however that I like the redesign of the handle on the leash. I have leashes that I purchased 22 years ago, and I prefer the comfort of the older handle design over the current updated version.The older handle is flat on the sides and better allows you to hold two leashes in one hand if that is needed, and for me that definitely is needed. Even holding just one leash in one hand doesn't seem as comfortable with the new design as with the old design, and the balance of the leash seems a bit awkward with the new or current design.That being said, if you've never owned a Flexi brand leash, and you're looking for a QUALITY product, you'll be TOTALLY SATISFIED with your ... MoreI like the Flexi brand retractable leashes, as they have proven to be quality products.

I just felt that with an 80 lb. dog on the other end of the leash, it might be time to purchase a new leash. :-)

it’s wonderful!

I bought it in 2017 and it only got damaged now in 2023.I bought a different brand in another store to replace it and returned it because nothing was good, despite the comments. That was this year.I didn't remember where I had bought the old one, in this case this one and I looked until I found it here.I'm going to buy the same one for the excellent experience I had from 2017 to 2023. It retracts very well and quickly, I never had a problem with tangles or having to pull to get it right. I walk well with my dog, at least 30 minutes a day, and there are days when we walk for 1 hour.We walk in big places and he has all the freedom of movement. When he decides to run after a squirrel, I let him know that he will NOT reach the squirrel and the leash will not break, ... MoreI bought it in 2017 and it only got damaged now in 2023.I bought a different brand in another store to replace it and returned it because nothing was good, despite the comments.

love it! so far so good

Finally after a year of leash training my cats, we were finally able to advance to a retractable leash! It went very smooth! I got the small size, 26 feet for the babies. They do great on it. It was a little rocky for the first couple days because they kept getting caught on things but I think we have a little system going. I’m able to hold both leashes in one hand (my hands aren’t very big) and easily toggle between the buttons after a little practice. We had just a non-retractable rope leash prior to this retractable one. I had previously gotten a ‘Tug’ retractable one earlier in their training but at the time they weren’t ready; comparing those two retractable leashes, my personal opinion, this FLEXI leash by far is wayyyy better. I think they’re made in Germany ... MoreFinally after a year of leash training my cats, we were finally able to advance to a retractable leash! It went very smooth!
