Flexi Vario Soft Stop Belt M

The media could not be loaded. A soft stop is an absolute must for any long leash. The longer leash allows the dog to gain more momentum if it starts running, and without a soft stop, the dog is much more likely to hurt itself when it crashes against the end of the leash (also, if you have a strong dog, you can injure your shoulder).It doesn't matter how well trained your dog is. Even if your dog doesn't pull, your dog will never be trained enough to avoid freak accidents. For example, my dog doesn't pull, but the other day a bicyclist passed us, and once he was behind us, his tire popped (or some other loud sound), and my dog spooked and tried to bolt. Without the bungee attachment, the impact when he reached the end of the leash could easily have hurt him.To be extra safe, I always use a harness instead of a collar, and I often add a second bungee attachment in the front to give even more elasticity. I would recommend anyone to do this, but if you're not willing to go that far, this soft stop belt is the bare minimum of safety you should get for your dog's sake.To be clear, the soft stop belt is not a training tool. If you have a pulling problem, it is likely to get worse when you use this. The leash will extend when the dog pulls, so he learns that pulling gets desirable results.The best cure for bad behavior, is to just train your dog. No leash can fix a lack of training.

I use this with the Flexi VARIO Tape leash and it works well. My dog pulls especially when she sees a squirrel or cat and doesn't choke herself quite as badly as before. It has a little "give" to it, which I like as it doesn't stop her directly. Would recommend.

Works good with a puppy who likes to chew on their lead. The original lead with the vario lead lasted less than one day before he chew through it. The soft stop is still going after more than a month if his chewing.

When my shiba inu gets scared, she tries to bolt. If I don't apply the brake/clutch on the leash immediately, she ends up with a big jerking stop at the limit of the leash. This should cushion that a bit, which I hope will be easier on her neck, and help prevent me losing my grip on the leash. I've tried it out on a couple of walks so far, and although we haven't had any scares, it does soften the pull a bit. It's very easy to fasten to the proprietary Flexi connector. I didn't realize it before ordering, but it does have retro-reflective thread, so it should be more visible at night than the standard Flexi piece that it replaces. It's well made.

This is a well made product but I have a strong puppy who wants to see and explore everything. I ordered the Soft Stop to ease the pulling on her neck when she chased yet another squirrel, ran towards a creek or whatever. The problem is that I felt I had less control over her. This certainly would work on a slightly older dog but I had to switch back to a non soft pull lease just to control her. She now understands what "stop" means which she didn't before. I only used the Soft Stop for a week but it just didn't work.

I have had this "Soft Stop Belt" for over a year now, and use it along with a 'Large' ("...Ideal for large dogs up to 110 lbs....") 26 foot Flexi Vario Tape for my 42 lb. Standard Poodle. This belt does have just enough (not a lot of) give to absorb some shock if he takes off chasing something (which, thankfully, he now rarely does). The 'end shock' when he's snubbed short feels much better in my hand (and, I'm sure, to his neck) than the sudden stop-shock when using the original belt with no give. However, my favorite thing about this belt is that, when he's ready to go in, it is long enough for my dog to take this part of the leash in his mouth to lead me home. His teeth will, and have, cut through the tape strapping itself (tape can be clean cut, and new end-loop sewed in for re-pinning to the latch end of tape) if he grabs and chews on it. But this Stop Belt has held up to 16 months of such abuse with just minor damage - and still works.

Could not use it. It was for the small leash and they shipped the 26 foot, But thats what I order the 26 foot I did not know the soft stop would not fit the 26 foot leash. I wish I could find a 26 foot leash with the small latch because the other one is to big to hook in her harness the picture below is the hook I have got to use ok.

Great for keeping dogs neck safe and comfortable but our 10 lb dog bit the plastic connector which ties into the vario leash and it broke quite easily.

La extensión de correa encajó perfectamente en la correa Flexi Vario mediana. El producto amortigua muy bien los jalones ocasionales de la perrita. Debido a que la cuerda de la correa Vario es plana, es incómodo para mi agarrarla para corregir al perrito y esta extensión me permite tener un mejor control al momento del paseo. La recomiendo mucho

I have two flexi leads and changed them both to the soft stop. They feel stronger (dog had chewed through the other ones) and the breaking is so much better, no more sudden jolts. Takes a bit of getting used to but worth it. Recommend. (I’d been struggling to find one for the medium lead until i asked a question on Amazon and someone said the small fitting was the right fit).

When you are walking two 60# dogs using any leash the pull, even if only occasional, can take a toll on your arms, back, and legs. I was finding the muscles in my lower back constantly hurt when I walked the boys.When one of the boys had chewed through the leash just below the clip I thought I could purchase a replacement from Flexi but sadly couldn't. But they did offer this bungee extension. So I ordered it.First off it is a great extension. If something excites one of the boys and they take off when they come to the end it is not so jarring as this extension gives some play and is easier on their necks and collars.A side benefit to me is that the sudden snap I was experiencing was obviously being absorbed by my back causing the muscle aches. Since using this bungee extension the problem has all but disappeared.The boys love eating grass and when on walks I am constantly watchful. When I see them going in for a nibble I give a slight tug on the leash. On the Vario, without the extension, the tug was enough to get their heads up again and to continue on. However, with the extension, the tug is not so dramatic making corrections a little harder. But this is an acceptable trade-off considering the dramatic change it has made to my back and the comfort of walking them.I would suggest this a must have addition for the Flexi Vario leashes.

Habe ich für die Ersatzleine bestellt, passt einwandfrei, keine Beanstandungen, gerne immer wieder.

Necesitas tener la correa Flexi vario convertible para poder usarla. Si disminuye la fuerza con la que mi perro tira de la Correa y resiste mordidas constantes de cachorros
