I've been using the JIM HODGES DOG TRAINING Gummy K9 Biothane Long Line Leash for my German Shepherd during our park training sessions, and it has been an absolute game-changer. This 32-foot leash is perfect for obeying local leash laws while still allowing my dog ample freedom to practice long-distance recalls and other training exercises.What sets this leash apart from others I've tried is its robust construction. It’s "nice and beefy," making it durable enough to handle the rigorous demands of training a large, active dog. Additionally, the biothane material is a major plus—it's super easy to clean, and unlike nylon leashes, it doesn’t absorb water or retain any unpleasant smells if it gets wet.This leash beats out all other brands I've tested in terms of durability and ease of maintenance. It’s ideal for anyone serious about dog training who needs a reliable, high-quality long line. If you’re looking for a leash that meets legal requirements while providing the best in function and comfort, the JIM HODGES leash is the way to go.

Very durable and awesome. Dog tries to chew on it but it doesnt snap or even hold teeth marks. I am going to buy a smaller one too. 15 foot sounds too long but works great for recall and outdoor training.

This long lead is perfect for sniff walks and outdoor training where the lead will be dragged through mud, etc. Its been durable and super easy to wipe clean. Great value for money and durability.

This Biothane material does not tangle. The 3/8†width is sturdy but light weight so that my dogs enjoy a semi-free feel yet are still in tune with me. I love the feel of these leashes. I can walk both dogs on the 10†leads without getting tangled up. Great product!

This leash is great for my 11lb terrier mix. Combined with an x-small Blue-9 Balance harness, this leash gives us tons of freedom for him to explore the trails in the woods near our house yet I feel like I'm still in control. The leash is slender but strong. The 15ft length is perfect - not too long, not too short. The only thing is, the clasp seems heavy for a small dog, so I made a short extension out of a shoelace off the back harness loop, so the clasp can hang at his side and not bounce on his back. Overall I love this leash, it's easy to keep untangled and it repels the water fairly well. I still get my hands a little dirty if I let it drag on a rainy day, but I don't mind, its my choice :)

Great buy. Had it for several years and is still like new. Used in scent work with my German shepherd. Now with a new GSD pup, using it as a drag lead on walks and you can’t tell that it has been dragged through rocks, cactus, sagebrush etc. Very strong and durable.

UPDATE: One quick dash to the end of this line and the clasp broke. I even dropped the line when he came to the end. The stitching held, however, which was actually my main concern. Thank goodness he has good recall, we were near the road. Unfortunately this is now unusable and it's way past the return date. Bummed.I should have checked measurements more carefully, this is very narrow/thin. So far holding up though with my 50lb malinois mix. We use it for training and sniff walks and it's lighter weight than thicker biothane, which I like, but I do get nervous if he pulls as it's a single line stitch at the clasp and handle rather than double. So far so good though, it's tough! I want to add for those that say their dog chews through these, these are not tie outs, and not to be left on a dog/puppy unattended, this is a training tool.

This is just as described and ideal for training puppies. Really good catches on it which are great for the beach.
