Retractable Dog Lead – 5 m Extending Nylon Tape Leash with One-Button Lock, Grey and Black
Product Overview
Give your dog room to sniff and explore without losing control. This retractable lead pays out up to 5 metres of flat nylon tape and reels it back in automatically, so there is no slack loop dragging along the pavement. A single thumb button on top of the handle stops the tape at any length, and holding it down locks the lead short when you reach a road, a busy path or another dog. The shaped handle has a soft anti-slip grip that sits comfortably in one hand, leaving the other free for a phone, a lead bag or a coffee. The housing measures roughly 15 x 10 cm with an 8 cm grip opening, and a metal swivel clip on the end of the tape attaches to your dog's harness or collar ring. Finished in grey with black trim.
Key Features
- 5 metres of extending nylon tape – plenty of freedom on open paths, parks and fields.
- One-button stop and lock – press to stop the tape, hold to keep it locked short.
- Automatic self-locking retraction – the tape reels itself back in and stays tidy.
- Ergonomic anti-slip grip – shaped handle designed for comfortable one-handed use.
- Flat tape rather than thin cord – less prone to tangling than a round-cord lead.
- Metal swivel clip – clips to a harness or collar ring and turns as your dog moves.
- Compact 15 x 10 cm housing – light in the hand and easy to store.
- No batteries needed – entirely mechanical.
Benefits
- Lets a dog range ahead on quiet paths, then brings them straight back to heel at the touch of a button.
- No coiling and uncoiling a long lead by hand at the start and end of every walk.
- The lock makes kerbs, gateways and passing dogs easier to manage.
- Useful for recall practice in open spaces where an off-lead dog would not be safe.
- One-handed operation suits walking with a buggy, shopping or a second dog on a fixed lead.
- Stores neatly by the door or in a bag between walks.

Important Information
- You will receive the grey and black 5 m retractable lead shown in the first photograph.
- No maximum dog weight or pulling strength is specified by the manufacturer, so none is claimed here. This is a lightweight everyday lead. It is not suitable for large, powerful or strongly pulling dogs, and it is not a training or restraint device for dogs that lunge.
- Attach the clip to a well-fitted harness wherever possible rather than to a collar. A sudden lunge on a long lead puts a sharp load on a dog's neck.
- Keep the lead locked short beside roads, in car parks, around other dogs and in crowded places.
- Never grip, wrap or grab the moving tape with your hand. Extending tape under tension can cause friction burns or cuts, and can catch fingers and legs – your own and other people's.
- Check the tape, the clip and the housing before every walk and stop using the lead if the tape is frayed or cut, the clip is bent or worn, or the brake stops holding.
- Keep hold of the handle. If it is dropped, the housing can be dragged along behind a startled dog.
- Not a toy. Adults should supervise any use by children, and children should not walk a dog on this lead unaided.
- Keep the mechanism dry where you can, wipe the housing clean and let a wet tape retract fully only once it has dried, so grit and damp do not build up inside.
- Measurements are approximate and taken by hand, so small variations are normal.
- Dogs, collars, harnesses and backgrounds shown in the photographs are for illustration only. A 3 m version of this design also exists; this listing is for the 5 m grey and black lead only.
- Screen settings can affect how colours appear, so slight differences between the photographs and the item are possible.
