Was wondering if anyone has had/ currently has this leash? I live in an apartment and this seems like a good option for quick potty trips instead of fumbling with a harness/ collar. Seems like it'd be too bulky for a pup, but later on might be ideal. Thoughts?

I use a Mendota slip lead and they are almost identical. I really like this type of lead, they are quick to put on and take off, allow for correction while walking(like a choke/training collar) and they have no snaps to freeze (even work when you have gloves on). Also nice if you crate your dog at night without a collar on and have to make an unplanned late night ...uhm deposit. It should be worn high on the dogs neck, it has less control if it slips down to the shoulders. If you have a lead with a loop hand hold you can run the lead through the loop and try it to see if you think you might like it.

Thanks! I was looking at those too. Now I'm thinking I should definitely get one

The Mendota has different widths of rope, so you could get a smaller one for your pup while it grows. I have one, but since getting a martingale collar for Pippa, I don't use it as much. But they are very well built. I've had mine for almost a year and it looks brand new (aside from a bit of husky hair...).

I'd assume the Ruffwear one is built well too. I've never had any problem with my knot-a-leash.
