TUG Retractable Dog Lead – 5m (Green, Medium Dogs)

Your dog deserves space to explore without you losing control of the situation. A good retractable lead means they can follow that interesting scent, investigate the hedgerow, or just enjoy a proper sniff while you keep them safe from traffic, other dogs, or sudden distractions. This 5m lead gives medium dogs (up to 25kg) the freedom to roam with smooth, tangle-free movement and reliable one-handed braking when you need it most.

• 5m reach with 360° tangle-free design – U-shaped guide prevents twisting as your dog moves naturally
• One-handed thumb control – brake, pause, or lock the lead in a split second without breaking stride
• Suitable for dogs up to 25kg – strong nylon tape with consistent, smooth retraction
• Ergonomic anti-slip handle – comfortable grip for longer walks without hand fatigue
• Quick lock and unlock feature – instant control when you spot hazards or other dogs approaching

How to Use

1. Attach the clip to your dog's harness or collar (harness recommended for better control)

3. Allow your dog to explore—the lead extends smoothly as they move
4. Press the brake button to stop the lead instantly when needed
5. Use the lock feature to fix the lead at a specific length (useful for crossing roads or walking in busy areas)

Care

Wipe the handle and tape clean with a damp cloth after muddy walks. Check the tape regularly for fraying or damage. Store in a dry place when not in use. Do not pull or force the tape if it becomes stuck—gently guide it back into the housing.

Safety Note

Always supervise your dog when using a retractable lead. Use the brake and lock features near roads, other dogs, or hazards. Attach to a harness (not just a collar) for better control and to prevent neck injury. Not suitable for training puppies to walk on a loose lead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size dog is this suitable for?
A: This 5m lead is designed for medium dogs up to 25kg. For larger dogs, consider a lead with a higher weight capacity.

Q: How does the brake work?
A: Press the thumb button to instantly stop the lead from extending. Use the lock feature to fix the lead at a specific length. Release the lock to allow free movement again.

Q: Will it tangle when my dog runs around?
A: The 360° tangle-free design with U-shaped guide helps prevent twisting as your dog moves. While no retractable lead is completely tangle-proof, this design minimises frustration.

Q: Can I use this for training?
A: Retractable leads are not recommended for training puppies to walk on a loose lead, as they encourage pulling. They're best for dogs who already have good recall and walking manners, giving them freedom to explore in safe areas.

Q: Is 5m long enough?
A: 5m gives your dog plenty of space to explore hedgerows, sniff around parks, and enjoy walks without being right next to you. It's a good balance between freedom and control for most medium dogs.

Q: How do I clean it?
A: Wipe the handle and tape clean with a damp cloth after muddy walks. Check the tape regularly for fraying or damage. Store in a dry place when not in use.
