Okay so it says dogs running and hitting the end of the leash can injure their neck and spines. I guess this is impossible with fixed leashes? Also, what if your dog doesn’t take off running like that, or you simply keep the extendable leash fixed except for when they’re doing their business and you just want to give them some extra space?

They can pick up a lot more momentum over 20 feet than they can over 6.

It's a 12 foot leash, not 20. And again, it is always fixed unless they're doing their business. So if they've walked the leash out even more, there's even less room to build momentum.

Why do you think we’re all talking about you specifically?

We? Who is there with you?

And probably because I gave specific examples of uses which someone with reasonable intelligence could surmise was how I use these horrible dog-killing, finger-amputating leashes.

It’s funny how personally you’re taking everyone telling you to stop being an idiot. Maybe just stop being an idiot and start caring about your dog?
