Decision Theme: Choosing a leash appropriate for dogs up to 25 kg
Dogs in this weight range sit at an awkward intersection. Too strong for lightweight leads, yet often overlooked by heavy-duty designs meant for larger breeds.
Before buying, I questioned whether a retractable lead could realistically handle that balance. After consistent use, it became clear that weight suitability isn’t just about strength — it’s about how force is absorbed and released.
The lead doesn’t feel strained, even during sudden changes in direction. That stability builds trust over time. You stop adjusting your walking style to compensate for equipment limitations.
For owners of dogs in this range, choosing something specifically designed for that weight reduces unnecessary compromises.
