What is a Retractable Dog Leash?
A retractable dog leash is a leash that is supposed to allow the handler to be able to adjust the distance the dog is permitted to wander away. The leash itself consists of either a very thin or a webbed cord that is commonly about 16 feet (5 m) or 30 feet (9 m) in length. The handle is usually plastic and contains a mechanism that allows the dog handler to stop the extension of the leash by pressing a button on the handle. A clip on the leash attaches to the dog’s collar.
