It's Low-Priced But...
You may love this leash but...it is VERY heavy. The edges are not beveled as it says in the product description, but almost sharp. It is also VERY stiff, more like plywood than leather. Mine had a defect/split in the leather. It's hard to believe that Amish craftspeople would send out a defective article such as this. If you don't have a 500 pound dog or a hand of steel, I would suggest that you at least purchase a thinner version of this leash.
Excellent Quality Leash Unbeatable Price
This leash is of surprisingly good quality especially for the price. I had stopped into two large chain pet stores in search for a training leash and the prices for very thin six foot leads ranged from $46 - $90. I buy most everything for our dogs and other pets on Amazon so I put off purchasing one and am glad I did.
The leash is very sturdy leather - which is exactly what you want. Soft leather has to much give and won't hold up to unexpected chewing and biting from your dog. The stiff leather holds up beautifully and provides a better correction "snap".
The top handle and end loop are made by folding the leather down and fastening them with two steel rivets, some braiding would gave made the leash stronger but if you're not training say, a 300 pound Mastiff this lead should work out just fine.
We have two Old English Bulldogs a 95 pound adult and 55 pound 7 month old puppy. I'll be using this lead for beginner obedience training (heel, sit, stay,...
DANGEROUS! Metal parts broke apart
I was walking my 25 lb puppy and with very little pressure, the metal fittings broke apart and the dog went running. There was no sign of any damage when I got the leash and this seemed to happen out of nowhere. It may have been one bad one out of the bunch, but I wouldn't get a leash from this company again. It's not worth the risk.
