This leash is very grippy as that it won't just slide through your fingers if your pup decides to run suddenly. It also won't cut off your hand if your are caught off guard when a squirrel runs by. The fact theres no handle reduces the chances of it getting snagged on things while training but a handle can easily be tied if needed

This leash is loved by me and my dog, He can get to the bush or tree he needs to sniff without having to pull or tug you from your current position. The rubberized texture gives great gripping and when you tie a slip knot it holds in place to wrap it over your head and around your chest for hands free action. Lightweight and durable(as long as they don't chew on it). A great addition to your leash arsenal.

I'm a dog trainer and I use this leash for training dogs for hiking off leash, extremely well made great material that you can grip and not have it slide through your hand

This is great! I take my Shiba inu to crazy places and she loves this leash...
