I’ve spent hundreds on gear over the years. This is the first time I felt like the leash was designed by someone who actually handles dogs

I have a reactive rescue and this leash feel very strong and secure.

amazing leash! Clip is strong and very secure and the leash has lots of grip and is lightweight!

The whole process was great. Quick shipping and great product!

It's a nice leash but a little short for my small dog. I wish it was longer so she has more freedom on walks.

The rubber makes it feel like velcro in my hands

Super sleek and professional looking. The Blue color is perfect.

The hardware is 10/10, but the 3/8" material feels a bit like a shoelace in my giant hands

I’ve had this leash for six months now and it still looks brand new. No fraying, the grip hasn't worn down, and the clasp is still smooth as silk. It’s handled rain, mud, and snow like a champ.

I think 3/8" is a little thin but the more I use it the more I get used to it. Still think it's a little thin.

The clasp doesn't freeze shut like some of my older brass snaps. Reliable year-round in Canada.

Just a reminder to others: this is a training lead! My dog nibbled it while we were sitting at a cafe and it frayed a little. My fault, but keep an eye on it

Best grip leash I've owned. It doesn't hurt your hands when the dog hits the end of the line

I used to double-clip my dog because I was so paranoid about hardware failure.I finally feel like I can breathe on our walks.

Had an issue with my shipping address and customer service fixed it in minutes. The leash is top-tier too.

The 3/8" width is great for keeping things lightweight, but it does dig into your palm a little bit if your dog is a constant, heavy tension puller. I’d give it five stars if it was just a hair wider.

You can tell just by looking at the stitching that this isn't a cheap knock-off. It’s built for work.

The winged clasp is great with bare hands or thin gloves, but I struggled to pinch the wings with my heavy winter mitts on. Still a great leash though.

I do search and rescue work in the winter. Trying to operate a tiny bolt snap with frozen fingers or thick gloves is impossible. This winged clasp is easy to trigger even with winter gear

This is my third purchase from K9 Academy and they never disappoint.

Works great for both casual walks and training.

Usually, rubberized gear smells like a tire shop. This leash doesn't. It’s been through the lake and the mud, and after a quick dry, it’s completely odorless

I’m amazed at how light this is. It doesn't weigh down my dog's neck, which is great for his posture during long training sessions.

The grip is fantastic. I do wish there were a 6ft version in this exact width.

I have a fear-reactive dog this leash feels secure in my hands. I learned my emotions travel down the leash and this leash is helping me feel more confident.

It’s so light you’d think it was for a toy breed, but the 14 kN rating is the real deal for large dogs.

Lightweight but doesn’t feel cheap at all.

The K9 Academy clasp is the most secure I’ve ever used. I never worry about my 90lb GSD backing out of this.

Love how secure the clasp. It closes securely and doesn't seem like it will pop off.

My dog is a constant puller. With a standard leash, I have to wrap it around my hand (which is dangerous). With this grip, I can hold the lead with a light touch and it stays put.

Fantastic, Small item carries big impact

"I’ve tried many grip leashes, but the K9 Academy one is what I keep grabbing
