Yangbaga Dog Leash Extender, Shock Absorber Bungee Leash Attachment, Durable Nylon Dog Tie Out Extension with Stainless Steel Swivel Clips

I purchased this item rather impulsively now that spring is arriving and I'm taking my beloved Havanese, Ernie with me just about everywhere I roam. Ernie and I are also contemplating a few extensive road trips. Ernie must be securely tethered into his rear-seat doggie car seat, especially after I survived a very serious auto accident...first one ever...this past December and totaled a truck. Fortunately, Ernie was not with me. I wanted an extender to attach to the very short one that is part of Ernie's secure car seat. I purchased the Yangbaga for this purpose. So, this is a great, sturdy, secure & attractive bungee-cord type "shock absorbing" leash extender. It is extremely well made but IMHO, this extender is waaaaay too big, heavy and bulky for my 20-lb Havanese. The plated clip on the end of the extender is huge...seems to weigh a ton. I cannot imagine tethering Ernie into his doggie car seat with this thing for any extended period of time. I gifted the extension to my neighbor, who owns a rather unruly, VERY STRONG, one year old, 65-lb male lab. Nice item but it didn't work for us.

We have 3 large dogs, Standard poodle, golden retriever and a golden doodle. They are between 75 and 55 lbs. We purchased these shock cords to signal when their leash is near the end of travel ( we have retractable tape leashes). Given the above, we have received 5 uninterrupted years of service from these shock cords. They have been through all types of weather and weathered the challenges thrown at them. This week the D-ring on one of the 5 year old cords pulled out of the fabric securing it in place. The fabric is still intact and that leads me to conclude that the D-ring failed. After 5 years of, multiple times per day use, without any other problems we decided to replace the old one with new versions of these terrific shock cords. A+ product.

Good quality but the description tries to catch all potential buyers. I wouldn't buy this for a dog less than 40lbs. It's too bulky for smaller dogs and they're too small to make the band stretch. You'd be choking the dog out before it stretches if your dog is less than 40lbs let alone my 20lb poodle mix. That said, if your dog is about 40lbs or bigger it's probably a perfect product to prevent sudden leash tension. I'd love to find a smaller one because my poodle loves to suddenly stop or run to investigate something and hits the end of the leash just to be jolted back. The benefit is more than just for the dog. It's good for the person holding the leash because when the dog hits the end of the leash it wont make you practically dislocate your arm because it has several inches of stretch that makes it less "abrupt".

Material is strong and thick. Flexibility is tight, but that’s a good thing for its purpose. It won’t over extend if your dog suddenly rushes out after a squirrel it’ll give a little and same for when I seat belt her harness in the car in case of accident I feel better knowing even though she’s got a harness that it’ll help her not jolt and reduce risk of fracturing her chest bone etc. I’m impressed and wished I bought the dual set. I will say that if you have a dog that jolts I would walk with a harness no pull because no matter what any force even while this absorbs a lot is bad to their cervical/neck and could cause long term issues in future.

I have the belt type running leash that has the elastic 3 foot leash. I actually bought this to extend that leash just a bit. My doodle isn't huge but he's long enough that it's easy to accidently step on the back of his paws if he wanders over too far. This is a little over a foot long and is also elastic so that helps give us the extra distance. It clips on super easy and ive never had any problems with it. You could also clip this on to a longer lead for letting your dog out or one of those runner lines if youre worried about your dog pulling too much. Our doodle is 65lbs.

I wanted to use this with an extender leash, which I use to exercise my dog in my unfenced yard. However, it seems to be too heavy for the extender leash. First, the extender makes the leash sag near the dog, so that he's always getting his feet tangled in the leash. And since the extender leash rewind spring is calibrated for the light cable or ribbon of the leash itself, it slows retractions and that too results in tangles as the dog moves around. It seems to work ok otherwise, but I didn't use it for long.. too much of a nuisance to keep untangling the dog. I do think it would likely be fine for short-leash walks.

My little 35lb mutt is not "much" of a pull when she walks, but at times she'll catch a whiff of whatever was nearby some time ago and just "follow it". This gives me a bit of a softer, gentler reminder that I'm attached to the other end of the leash and she's not going to tow me across someone's yard because a squirrel ran by two hours ago. If she was larger and stronger, and I was smaller, this would be ideal. As it is, the buckle that connects to the leash makes for a "heavy spot" and it tends to hang low near her feet, so I've got to get her to lift that front leg and let me untangle her a bit more often than without it. If I were to design the perfect "bungie" leash attachment, it would be an extension of the handle, not the collar end.

I use this with the 50 ft. tie out I also purchased from Hi Kiss. I have a rescue grey hound and they can get up to 40 mph within 5 seconds. So, if she were to take off running on her tie-out she could possibly hurt herself or worse kill herself by snapping her neck when she gets to the end of the tie-out. Using this extension with the tie-out helps slow her down enough that she does not experience that quick snap when she gets to the end of the tie-out. It is very durable and gives me peace of mine to have my dog outside with me tied up because I don't worry about her injuring herself.

My dog is 20lbs and sometimes decides she wants to sprint at a bird, this helps the shock and not dislocate my entire arm haha

Great product, I should have gotten it sooner. Has really help in stopping back pain from walking my dog. The only thing I would change is to not have it stretch out so far before it hit the limiter

Nice appearance but useless: not stretchy enough to make any difference and clasp is heavy and cumbersome. I bought a super cheap one on Aliexpress for a fraction of the price and although not as good "quality" (ie cheaper, lighter materials), it works better than this one.
