This easily extends or retracts as needed, so you can still enjoy walks with your pup without feeling restricted by its movements. You can also use this leash accessory with your hands if you prefer since this has padded handles for your comfort. Retractable: Retract A Buddy is a perfect accessory for your dog when they enjoy zigzagging throughout their walks! This allows them to move more quickly, which in turn makes training easier.

Made with strong nylon, it will be able to withstand rough usage and give you some peace of mind knowing that this is excellent value for your money.
