Viper Biothane Working Tracking Lead Leash Long Line for Dogs, Black 1/2" x 15ft

After owning this leash for 6 months, I am very happy with this purchase! I used to train dogs professionally and have used all kinds of dog leashes including nylon, leather, rope, and even chain. I had never tried a biothane leash until this one, and it out performs even expensive leather leashes. It's sturdy and feels good in your hand without feeling too stiff. It hasn't shown any signs of cracking or wear, and the metal attachments feel high quality and have handled pulling from strong dogs without failure (which was an issue in many reviews of other biothane brands). Best of all, unlike leather, it doesn't stink when it's wet or muddy, and is incredibly easy to clean with a cloth and mild soap and water. I would not recommend letting your dog bite or chew on any leash, but this can handle a bit more teeth than say a nylon or rope leash before it needs to be replaced. For $20, this is a great, reliable leash for both experienced and new dog owners!

I love these leashes. I have a 20' long line, a green 4', a blue 2' and a yellow 6' I have always used leather leashes for my dogs, i bought the 20' long line first. I later replaced my 6' leather leash with the 6' yellow leash. It is now my go to training leash. They are well made and if they get soiled and dirty i simply rinse them and use a clorox wipe on it and i feel good about it being clean. They are sturdy, well made and have brass hardware. They are very strong (my dog is 150 lbs) they are not chew proof as noted in the description but he doesnt chew the leash. Also the variety of colors are great, I chose the safety yellow as my main training leash as anyone can clearly see us coming and see my dog is on leash.

Excellent Quality Leash for all kinds of weather. We leave it outside in our fenced-in area in case the neighbors dog is out and barking at him by our chain fence. Easy to grab leash and beats yelling at our rescue who will not ever bother to look up or stop barking. Just grab this leash, great fitting handle & he goes back into the house. It stood up to our cold Winter and Spring rain as it's left outside. Great value for the money. Really is waterproof and we don't have to carry a leash every time we walk outside, it's already there!

This is a great leash especially if you have a big dog that pulls. It’s extremely soft and easy on your hands. I have leather leashes but like this better since it’s very flexible. I’ve wasted so much money on leashes. The nylon leashes can cause injury to your hands. They slip thru your hands and can leave scrapes. You can get a good grip with this leash and it won’t slip thru your hands. I have a Lab and got the 4 ft long, 5/8 inch wide leash for training and the 6 ft for walks. I will probably get a longer one also for playtime at the park.

Over the past few months I've been doing a lot of training with my 3yr old Golden Retriever, and I've bought a lot of different types of leashes, collars and leads to try to find what works best for us. I have a sad graveyard of stuff I hated that I'm going to donate to a local shelter, so when I say this is my favorite leash, its because I've tried basically everything else. I love these leashes because they're lightweight and simple. When I first began my training I had a heavier nylon leash with a traffic handle and it was just too heavy. When you're trying to communicate with your dog through the leash with just a light tug, it helps with the leash itself isn't constantly weighing things down and creating leash pressure all on its own! I own this biothane leash in black in both 6ft and 4ft lengths as well as a 15ft long lead and they are all fantastic. They're heavy enough to withstand my 70lb dog trying to sprint toward a squirrel, but light and nimble enough that I can comfortably carry it with a fingertip. Unlike with nylon there is no rope burn if your dog's still learning and takes off. Unlike leather, they don't get stinky and gross from handling and getting dirty. They quickly wipe off and are good as new! If you're looking for a good quality leash that's appropriate for a large dog, I highly recommend these.

Excellent leash. Very good traction, comfortable to hold, and stands up to my mixed GSD puppy's brand new teeth. My clip inexplicably broke one day when she was tugging, a short few months after purchasing, and the company 100% stood by the product and shipped me a new one. I'm really not sure what happened, but it makes me slightly nervous that she could have broken free in a bad moment - the only reason I'm putting my rating at 4/5.

Very sturdy. Feels good in the hand. We purchased the 10 ft. 3/4 inch leash. Note that the brass clip might be a little heavy for a little dog but perfect for medium to large. I debated on width but am very happy with 3/4 inch, thinner might have felt wierd because of the somewhat rubbery material and wider would have felt too heavy. The orange color is great for walking our mostly black Bernedoodle in the evening. 10 ft. is perfect for letting Hank sniff around but can be pulled in close when heeling. Material seems very durable. Hank brings us the leash when he wants to walk and sometimes he will chew on it a little bit but it doesn't even leave a mark. Very happy with this purchase. 4-24-23 This is the wifey here. I just wanted to add that although initially, I was not crazy about a vinyl leash, but I guess the hubby was right about this one. It can go through mud, water, snow, etc. and you never need to worry about it. I just rinse it off or wipe it down with some Clorox wipes and it's good as new. Hank didn't chew on this, like he did on the fabric ones. I also like the heavier weight, yet the narrower feel in my hand. The wind can't blow it around and when it gets tangled in bushes, I just give it a good tug and it outlasts whatever it is caught on. It is soft and flexible.

I absolutely love these leashes! I have 8 of them now, all in different lengths and colors for my 2 dogs. Definitely recommend!

This was in and out of my shopping cart for a good 2 months. I was hesitant over the price, and I already had a 20 foot cheap PVC-coated leash which I figured was basically the same thing. But I finally took the plunge and grabbed this, and my only regret is that I didn't get one sooner! It feels very premium from the handle to the clip. I trust it way more than my cheap leash when my dog lunges for squirrels (we're working on it...). Bonus: no rope burns like you'd get from a nylon leash. My dog's still a puppy and occasionally goes to play with the leash, but the sturdy construction of this makes me much less concerned about a nip compromising the integrity of this leash (I still redirect to a toy ASAP to be safe haha). The Biothane construction makes it good for walking through fields/less urban environments as it's significantly less likely to snag on burrs and other annoying debris. The only potential con is that the leash/clip are a little heavy. This makes the leash sturdy, but I could see it being annoying for a smaller dog in the under-20 lb category due to the leash and clip swaying during a walk, assuming you are using it as a long line and not a short line. I do wish it had the option for a O-shape clasp, but that's just a style preference - the traditional clip works just fine.

Tout à fait ce que j attendais pour laisser ma golden sur les trottoirs en semi liberte et l habituer progressivement à marcher sans laisse. La Laisse est tres legere en main et fine et en biothane e qui fait toute la difference avec des laisses en plastique moins cheres. La qualite est là

Where is the O ring pictured? All the Viper leads seem to have one, but both my leads come without.

favorite leash i own. comes in varying lengths and widths, which is incredibly helpful! i got the smallest width 1:2 inch that is 4.5 meters long. has become a great daily leash for my adolescent dog, without having to commit to the complexity of handling a “long line”. easy to store. seems to be sturdy but only time will tell.

Happy with product, works well and helps me manage my active and excitable dog.
