We have an 11 month old alpha Labrador who loves to chew, has needle teeth, and is whip smart. He constantly finds the weak point in every leash we’ve had and chews through it fast. We’ve been asked by our trainer to leash him while he’s in the house with the family. Given his ability to power through rope, leather, etc. we turned to this as our “leash” specifically for inside the house.
There aren’t many failure points on something like this. The metal parts like the cable and terminal joints seem sturdy and fine. The dog has chewed through the joint covers and has punctured the PVC cable coating, but that was expected. The carabeaner end is fine but the carabeaner itself seems of potentially dubious quality. Has been ok so far though.
To me, the question is how long this cable holds up over time. The only way to figure that out is to keep using it and report back if there are any premature failures.

I didn’t end up using this item because my puppy was pretty obedient and docile from the start.
However, I did inspect the tether. It seemed: strong, chew-proof, and just the right length, (should I have required its services).

Would have given it 5 stars, but the hasp connected to the 25′ line is a bit too large and tends to ride over the loop end and tangles at either end of the line run. It should be an easy fix.

Great for a small dog. Light weight and strong

We got a cocker spaniel 11 month old as his owner was unable to care for him. He’s a handful and a half. I also got a thing that allows you to clip this to the device and use any door as a holding spot. All I can say is until this dog gets trained this thing has saved our life!

We wanted a short leash to tie our dog out while we sit outside so she doesn’t get all tangled up with our chairs and cook wear.

Our puppy reacted very badly to crate training. A canine behavior expert recommended we try tether training instead. You still teach the dog who’s boss; they don’t get free rein. You can loop this around a sturdy unmovable piece of furniture, like a large sofa footing and then fasten it to the dog’s harness. (Please use a harness, not a collar, to prevent choking.)
Our dog responded well to the tether training. As an adult, we only use this tether now to keep him controlled when we have guests in the house. He doesn’t mind it at all.
It’s got a good plastic coating over the metal cable within so if a dog chews on it, he won’t get metal splinters in his mouth.

yes our puppy rescue is a chewer extraordinaire. we tether him close to us so we can keep an eye on him (we don’t want him in his crate all the time and we work at home), and this tether is the perfect leash length–long enough that he can explore and short enough that he can’t pester our older dog while she is chilling.
he did chew the red cover material off. I think this is no problem at all because hey he is a chewing machine right now. he has chewed thru 6 heavy duty leashes so far.
this has been a lifesaver and a sanity saver: it gets him out of his crate and gradually getting him used to chilling on his bed with his chew toy.
we purchased two of these, one for next to the desk, and one for next to the couch.
