Kurgo Quantum Leash 2.0 - Versatile for Running or Walking - 6 in 1 Dog Leash - Hands-Free Dog Leash - Adjustable - Strong & Durable - Black/Orange

I lost my dog’s leash and I bought this one which was a little different. I like the extra handle near the clip end to hold her close without having to wrap the leash around my hand. I would buy again but, fingers crossed I don’t loose it like the last one.

SUCH a great leash. I LOVE it. The Cross-body feature came recommended by our dog trainer to stop the dog from Cris-crossing in front of our feat and we love it. Great for jogging as well as daily walks as it keeps my hands free. We take our pup to the stores (that allow dogs) and keeps my hands free for pushing the shopping cart. Same would apply for baby stroller or for taking a phone call. Very durable and strong, barely any wear and tear after a year of daily use. I Love the numerous anchor points it offers as often times situations require different lengths. This feature of so many anchor points in not available in many other leashes and that is my favorite thing about this leash as this makes it very versatile. Love that I can tether the dog to a pole or leg of a chair if needed. Love this leash so much, we already ordered a second backup pair to have on hand..

Ok so this is the first review I’ve felt the need to write in awhile. I’m giving it 4 stars not because it is good, but because you can make it good. With a tiny amount of DIY. Like most of the other reviewers say. The carabiner on the end that connects back to the leash is absolute garbage. In the “no but forreal” kind of way. I honestly can’t believe Kurgo put this out with that trash on it. It straight up isn’t functional with it. Within an hour of receiving I had cut it off with a dremel and gone to the hardware store to purchase a replacement. The good news is.. that works perfectly. The loop that attaches to the carabiner is wide enough that I just popped on a 250lb steel carabiner from Lowe’s. It cost me round about 2$. The best part of this leash over other leashes of this style is the loop system. You can truly do about anything with it. The loops make it so that you can make the leash as long or as short as desired. Which for me is perfect as I have a puppy in training. It’s also much easier to use round the waist because it’s essentially adjustable. Other reviewers have mentioned that it’s not long enough to actually use messenger style (over the shoulder). Which is true..ish. The fact is that there is too many variables. The height of the person. The width of the person. The height of the dog. The amount of acceptable length of lead for your pup. If you are a tall person and a short dog. You’re going to need a leash extension. They could have made it longer and it would have worked for everyone, but it would have become annoyingly long if you were trying to use it as a short leash. I honestly prefer it the length it is for one reason. Using it messenger style I like being able to add a “shock absorbing” leash extension. I don’t like those most of the time but I do when I use it like this. The leash might be a bit on the heavy side for the really tiny pups out there. I have an approximately 8lb CKC Spaniel pup. The pup has no problems with the weight, but the wife thinks it’s heavy? Not sure how that works, but I’m being honest here. The reflective material runs the length of the lead and seems to work just fine. I have no issues with the quality of the fabric or even the hook bit that attaches to my pups collar. It’s just the carabiner on the other end that’s garbage. The last thing I want to mention is the pad that is included for the ‘handle’. I hate it... unless I’m using it messenger style. Then it’s better than not having it. Using it as pictured as the handle part on a normal leash is awkward as all get out. It just bunches up and gets in the way. Why give it four stars if I’m hating on it so much? I honestly like the leash a lot.. the loop system is great. They just dropped the ball on production. If you are willing and able to cut off the carabiner and replace it. I’d say give it a go. If not there are certainly other 6 in1 leashes out there, but for the cost of this leash and a 2$ carabiner this one is still cheaper than most of the others. The pad is a gimmick, but is decent for your shoulder messenger style. If you never plan on using it messenger style just pitch it.

Very nice leash. I wish I could find a collar to match.

This is my 2nd Kurgo leash of this variety. 1st I’ve had for about 6 years or so. Needed 2nd to start working my puppy. Both dogs are large breed varieties. As someone who likes to walk my dog long distances & Pokemon hunt same time, this leash frees up my ability to do that though mostly I still hold the leash so still have the interaction going between myself & my working dog via the feedback on the leash. Unlike the expandable leashes there is no risk of deforming/amputation injury to me from an extendable cord snaking across fingers or loss of control of my dog via overly long cord. dog too far away from me or when cord is stopped, snappage. The carabiner on my original Kurgo leash does have an issue of the metal lever popping free: no idea if this has been addressed or not, but recall isn’t an issue in my situation but it could be if you have the furnissle version of Usain Bolt so be mindful or rig a hack to secure this. No idea if reflective feature is visible or not - I’m on the wrong side of the dog/light source to report my opinion on that. Material isn’t wide. The ribbon that runs down center of leash isn’t firmly attached but is attached series of discrete loops every 1-1.5 inches. Decide how wish to wear it (cross body, around waist, etc). Loop around truck/waist to fit then open the metal “gate” on carabiner & hook through loop that works for you making sure it’s secure. Once you’re suited up it’s time to hook up with your dog which uses traditional thumb-operated clasp that snaps onto the metal ring on dog’s collar or harness. Has clasp to attach 1 dog to yourself. Then get those boots a struttin’ knowing if you need to throw down with Madonna & vogue it’s so on (just remember to turn up that radio as Mags instructs!). Because any time one Bounce with one’s canine is a Holiday worth Celebration (see all those Madonna references?). Now go out & show them your 4 footed Superstar. It’s be cool if this could be offered in a Superhero pattern but instead of going with a straight, traditional leash with Superhero pattern I went with this because function is my 1st concern & the versatility is pretty awesome. But one can wish upon a Shooting Star & ask!

I'm a fan of Kurgo products and have always appreciated their quality. I purchased this Quantum 6-in-1 specifically for the adjustability and to be able to wear it while I walk/run. The quality lived up to my expectations; the function did not. The metal clasp at the handle end is difficult to attach/detach from the webbing, when it comes time to adjust the length. It's something you'll want to do before attaching to your dog unless you want to be standing on a trail or path for a few minutes fighting with it while your pet is tugging on the other end. For that, I took away a 1/2 star. 6' is the overall length, so the manufacturer pictures of the woman jogging while wearing it over the shoulder is deceptive. She must be no more than 5'5". I'm 5'11", so wearing it "messenger" style prevents my average-height dog's face from being unable to bend enough to reach the ground. That is unless he is completely against my side. If he's further than a foot from my side, the leash is tout. For that I took away another 1/2 star. The useless ness of the padded strap with button is the entire second star. The velcro doesn't size up between the webbing, so it's nearly impossible to get it to lined up and the padding bunches up. The button isn't sturdy enough to keep it closed. This seems like a major design flaw. I finally just took the padded handle off, as it was more of a hassle than not. The only way to attach the strap to myself and still allow my dog to be able to sniff around the ground, is to attach it around my waist. My waist is 30", so even wearing it like this, my dog has to be firmly against my side to be able to bend his neck so his snout can reach the ground. Also, because of the difficulty of adjusting the clasp, it's not easy to attach/remove from my waist. Especially while attached to my dog. Great quality. Poor design. Poor function.

I love this leash! It has a bunch of loops so you can adjust it to fit you at any size, as tight or loose as you want it. It is sturdy enough to hold up and last but it is not bulky or annoying to carry around.

When I go for walks, it is often a chaotic event. I often hike on fairly crowded trails, so I have to have my dog leashed. For that, I used the Flexi retractable leash. For walks around the neighborhood, I'd just use a standard 4- or 6-foot lead. For walks with my infant son, I'd try to hold the 6-foot leash and steer the stroller. If my 40-lb herding dog saw a lizard dart under a shrub, he would lunge at it, and we would swerve (before the mama bears fire up the comment link: I held it loosely enough that it never pulled the stroller handle more than a couple inches before my hand came off the bar along with the leash). And sometimes I bike with my dog to help him get exercise, but I have to leave one hand off the handlebar to hold the leash, because I can't take the swerving risk at high speeds. This makes each of those tasks easier. The dog's end of the leash attaches to the collar's standard metal D-Ring the way most leashes do. It's a very secure sliding clasp that can't come loose. This is where I suspect negative reviews originate - people might be hooking the opposite end (with the carabiner) to the collar. The person-end of the leash has multiple options. You can wrap it around your waist and hook the carabiner to the leash, making it like a belt, with about four feet left over as a lead for your dog. This is great for two reasons - 1, your hands are free, which is great for hiking or pushing strollers. 2, the pull point is lower down on your body, making it much easier to resist the occasional enthusiastic lunge by your dog. You can also just hook the carabiner about 8-12 inches down from the end, making a short loop and creating a pretty standard-looking leash, at about 8 feet long. You also have the ability to wrap it around other things and latch it to itself - think park benches, outdoor cafe chair legs, bike seatposts. This gives you a full 8 feet, so your dog can get up and reposition himself while you help your toddler on the swing, for example. I used to do a similar thing with my standard 6-foot leash, but I had to take the leash off my dog, hold him with one hand, feed the end around the bench and back through the leash handle, and reconnect it. This is so much easier. And if you need to shorten it (which I've done a number of times at outdoor cafes to keep him from wandering over to other tables), it's easy to do just by unclipping the carabiner and moving it to another section along the leash. I honestly can't figure out how this could possibly be a safety concern, unless your dog is strong enough to break the carabiner. And if you're concerned about that, go to an outdoor equipment store and buy a climbing carabiner (like this one Omega Standard Oval Carabiner ) rated to hold a lot more weight. This was one of my best pet-related purchases.
