This leash is not for everyone.  Because of the flexible nature of the leash, some dogs feel as though they aren't actually on a leash, and as a result, can be difficult to control. So in these cases it can actually have the opposite effect and give less control than a normal leash. 

However if your dog is well trained and behaves well on a leash, you shouldn't have this problem. The flexi-leash will give your dog a lot more freedom, and can extend up to 26 feet. This is great for situations where you want the dog to be able run around and enjoy himself, without taking him off the leash and losing control completely.

When fully extended, it is not a good idea to use it in areas where there are lots of people.  A 26 ft leash can be quite a dangerous tripping hazard.  However, for a trip to the beach or a walk in a quiet park, this leash is ideal.
