I have 50lb pointer, he pulled hard on it and broke this leash. NOT the leash itself, but where the metal part is sewed onto the leash. Wish this was re-enforced stronger. The nylon leash part is actually good quality and is still in tact. This leash would be great for dogs that don't pull or that are lighter than 50lbs.

I got this to assist with obedience training when trying to get my dog to stick around without running away and with recall. It's really great for that, because it is really long. I was on the fence between this and the 30 foot lead. I'm really glad I went with 50. Of course, it says it's 50 feet, but until I saw just how far away my dog could go before running out of slack, I really had no concept of just how long 50 feet really is. My dog has plenty of room to roam around and feel like she has free will, yet still gives me plenty of security knowing that I have full control. My dog usually doesn't run out of slack before she thinks she's getting too far away and turns around to see why the heck I'm not following her (at which time she usually comes running back to me if she see's I'm not moving in her direction). I think if I would have got the 30 foot lead she would probably run out of slack too quickly, which would ruin the illusion of her having free will (which is a very important part of the recall training).It does take a bit of practice to get used to managing it, though. I would recommend getting used to managing it in a more secluded area before you take it out in crowded public areas (like a dog park). It can easily become a hazard if not properly managed (clothes-lining peoples legs, choking children, etc.). For this same reason, I do not recommend using this as a method of tying your dog outside in a public area.
I also use this when we take our dog on outdoor adventures (hiking, kayaking, etc.). It gives her a lot of room to roam and sniff and do all of those doggy things, while we can continue along our route without having to tug her along or wait for her. Eventually she finishes with whatever has preoccupied her, and catches up. It's held up well to a lot of abuse so far. It drags on the ground through mud, stones, gravel, pavement; gets stuck in bushes...you name it, this leash has probably been there, done that. It still shows no signs of fraying or wanting to tear.
Overall, I would highly recommend this leash to anyone!

Great way to keep my bolting schnauzer from taking off in the yard (which isn't yet fenced) when he sees something! The leash is very sturdy and well made.Honest reviews on Guardian Cotton Web Training Pet Lead Leash - Red
I've gone through a few cotton leads, as I walk my dog 4x daily through the woods on one, and they get muddy, and caught on brambles and brush, and then washed and dried regularly. This one has stood up to this rough kind of wear and still looks as good as new, unlike others that have frayed and fallen apart rather quickly. I'm very happy with it.1/12 Update
My pup eventually chewed through the original red lead (she still gets excited when there are deer nearby) but I think she would have chewed through anything. I am still very happy, and have purchased additional leads in other colors.
