Cujo is an awesome leash! I love the incredibly comfortable handle with good grip and my dog loves the anti-shock. It's great for training and gives you plenty of control. I'm currently using it while my dog undergoes training to be a service dog. It's a perfect fit for his harness.

I have two Cujos, one for a chocolate lab, the other a vizsla. Both of these dogs can yank pretty hard if inspired. The ski handle and bungee section has saved many a shock to my shoulders, elbows and wrists. This one I am buying for a friend, for her lumbering bloodhound. She has used ours and loved it. She will be geeked to get one of her own.

Two of my dogs are real pullers on walks, and this leash has definitely saved my arms and shoulders. It truly absorbs the shock, especially when the dogs make a sudden movement. The dogs pay more attention to me when walking also. I am so glad we got this, and we will probably be getting another one soon!

I have two large very strong Boxers and this leash makes it so easy to walk both of them. Both are very good walkers but when they do pull occasionally the elasticity helps tremendously. And the handle is very comfortable to hold.

This takes the yank out of the leash when my boxer mix tries to launch off after a squirrel or cat. We use it with the Summit backpack loaded with a couple of canned goods. We can walk Mojo without taking a muscle relaxer upon returning home! He is getting much more exercise around the neighborhood!

We were given a leash similar to the Cujo but it wore out over time (about a year). I think it was the Sparky meant for small dogs (and ours is a powerful Lab) so the rope lost its elasticity and became quite rough. Also, the handle was lighter weight and the grip narrower, which I actually prefer, because when we got the Cujo, the handle grip seemed thicker, and it was heavier -- and I was concerned because it seemed like a heavy weight to carry around with me on our walks. But after a few walks, I don't notice the weight unless I pay attention to it. Our Lab is a very strong puller and, in the past, using a soft handle meant my hand would get crushed as he pulled. With the Cugo ski-type handle, I get a firm grip and my hand remains unharmed! The bungee rope is also great, cushions the pull. We bought three leashes in blue, black, and pink. I LOVE the pink, perhaps not appropriate for a boy dog, but the colour is wonderful. We bought two long leashes and one short leash. I will use the short leash for training so that I have more contact, but I use the long leash for walks so that my dog can sniff easily. I have subsequently bought a "redirectional harness" with the leash attachment on the chest (not made by Ezydog) that miraculously stops him pulling, but on the occasions that he does pull when excited, the Cujo leash is fantastic. I especially like it for when my dog pulls unexpectedly: I might be looking in a different direction and he spots another dog he wants to play with and suddenly yanks the leash. If it weren't for the Cujo handle and bungee rope, I think I'd be suffering a lot of hand and shoulder damage! I also like that the rope doesn't bend easily. In the past, a webbing/fabric leash would get twisted around his legs; this one just bounces around and doesn't twist easily. I do agree with another reviewer that says it would be great to be able to slip the handle over your wrist -- sometimes I need both hands like when I'm opening the gate at the dog park that requires both hands but the leash won't stretch long enough to hold it while reaching for the gate lock, and then I have to grip the handle between my legs and hope my dog doesn't pull away at that moment. But all in all, I'm a Cujo convert, don't think I'll be using anything else, unless my dog becomes so obedient that he walks quietly at my side all the time!!

The Cujo leash is very high quality and perfect for hiking or just walking a strong larger dog. Our 8 month old black lab is easily controllable with this leash and the accompanying harness.

Our dog loves to go after squirrels . Before the Cujo my shoulders would ache from all the pulling but now I barely feel him pulling..

I really like the flexibility the leash has for when the dog lunges at squirrels or other critters; it definitely helps absorb the shock. I would have given it 5 stars just for that, but I find the handle really uncomfortable. I have small hands, so on long walks it actually gets tiring holding onto the large grip, yet the handle is not large enough to comfortably slip over your wrist (probably impossible for anyone with average or large hands and wrists). Also, the material makes my hands sweat. If I could have the shock absorbing leash with a traditional handle, it would be a perfect product. EzyDog Says: Thanks for the feedback Sarah. You may find the Mutley Leash or Zero Shock more to your liking. Both offer a round more traditional style of handle.
