Retractable leashes may seem convenient, but they come with risks! 😱
⚠️ Potential dangers include:
❌ Lack of control – Sudden lunges can lead to injury
❌ Rope burn – The thin cord can cause serious cuts
❌ Snapback injuries – If the leash breaks, it can whip back dangerously
A standard 4-6 ft leash offers more control and safety for both you and your pet. Have questions? Ask us about leash training tips! 🐾
