I really like this leash. It's very pretty, very sturdy, and I love the padded handle. However, I have to have a 4' leash for my therapy dog. When it's adjusted down to 4', the end of the leash is a great big loop just above the clip. If the leash is hanging down in a "J" like it should, it easily slips over my dog's head. They should have included a couple of plastic sliders to prevent this from happening but they didn't. I will write the company and see what they say.Two weeks later, and not a word from the company. I used black thread to wrap around the doubled leash in several places to keep it together, and so far, that is working well, although it shows against the purple. I do get a lot of compliments on the pretty leash.
