Josie (dog) and I are training to be a search and rescue team and long leads are used trailing training. I had been using a traditional nylon rope, that regularly got knotted and hung up in brush when I dropped it for her to drag through rough terrain. I love the yellow TufFlex check cord. I can see her (she blends in WAY to well color wise) with her yellow harness and now thirty feet of yellow lead. We don't get tangled or knotted anymore either. Much better choice than traditional equipment.

Excellent product! While hunting in Southwestern Oklahoma it is great for visibility and being virtually tangle free in heavy bluestem, plum thicket, and various brush. I would definitely recommend over any nylon or woven product if you intend to use in the field.

Great

This product is smooth, strong, and durable. I know it is intended as a hunt dog training tool, but I find it very useful in the day to day active lives of my Brittanys. This check cord handles everything the Arizona desert can throw at it, rocks, scrub brush, and cacti. Nothing sticks to it that can hurt me or my dogs. I have had the extremely rare tangle up in the brush due to the dogs running tight circles, but I believe that is inevitable and happens far less with these cords than if I were using ones made from different materials. Strong and dependable. I will make sure every dog I ever own has one of these.

Great leash. Saw my son's and had to have one.

Pretty cool. Doesn't tangle or get hung up on anything.

Our trainer recommended both Gun Dog Supply and this specific leash. Our trainer was right on both counts.

Good check cord that doesn't get hung up & is easy to clean.

They say like leather only better. Spot on. These have changed the field training deal to a new level.

It's perfect. Works great for training!

Easy to clean and very durable cord.

I have both a 30' and a 50'. Love them both.

Works well for walks in the neighborhood. Does not tangle like cotton leads or fray like nylon. At local forest preserve seems to work well at allowing her to run in scrub/weeds etc, without tangling the lead.

Great check cord. Doesn't kink up, easy to grip, and stows nicely.

Does as advertised. No tangling in the field, and the best part is it does not pick up anything from the field.

Resists tangling, smooth to handle, and in the field it will NOT pick up burrs like braided cords do.

The 50ft lead allows me to bring my young dog up to my experienced dog while on point, and allows the young one to learn by both be seeing and smelling.

I am using the 30ft lead with my young pup to encourage him while swimming. This lead allows me to walk the young dog out and get him swimming. Once he is swimming, the 30 ft lead allows plenty of room for throwing bumpers while still retaining control over him.

I love TufFlex products! They last forever, and they are easy to clean if need be. It is nice as a check cord since grass and stickers don't get stuck in the cord.

First off, I'm new to dog training. When buying a check cord, I wanted something that wouldn't absorb water and was easy to clean. I had a chance to use the cord over the weekend. It worked great. It got dragged through the water, sand, and dirt. It cleaned up easy and didn't get saturated with water and didn't attract burs. I don't think I'll have to worry about it picking up odors either. First impressions are good, and I think it was the right choice for me.

I actually love using this check cord. I found it less apt to abrade the legs on my 9 month old Vizsla who does a lot of changing direction in the field and spinning around. It's a bit heavy, which might be a problem with a young dog without much drive and unaccustomed to check cords. But it doesn't get any heavier being pulled through wet fields like some cords do. I like the high visibility orange. If you find it a bit slippery, you can wind the end around your hand. I wish it was longer...could always cut it to make it shorter if needed. SO, great product, but wish it was longer. My dog likes to work a little further out, and I want to encourage that.

Really a nice check cord. I tried using a plain nylon type rope I made myself, and it got tangled all the time, got wet and soggy, and one time broke randomly. This one doesn't seem to tangle easily, is easy to handle, and the bright orange is really easy to see.

It cleans up nicely and slides through the grass/brush well. I don't know what I was expecting, but it still has some weight to it. Much less than my old cotton check cord, and more than the poly rope (that tangles and gets caught up with sticks and burrs). The TufFlex is my go-to check cord for now.

This is a great lead. It is not hard on your hands and cleans up easily by pulling it thru a damp rag.

A great training lead. The nylon ones kept getting snagged on trees, sticks, rocks, and absorbed dirt and smells. These are light enough for the dogs to drag around, comfortable to grab onto when they start to run, and easy to clean.

Does not get tangled or covered in burrs. The option of a longer (100 ft.) line to work my pup on distance would be even better!

This is the best lead I have used in 40 years of training my dogs. After being coated with any type of mud, slime, or snow, a wipedown restores it to new.

I own several types of check cords and use them for specific purposes. What I like about this cord is how it is impervious to dirt, smell and moisture. I use it when I am hiking with my Lab pup. It is strong and light. It does not catch while he runs the woods, brush and water. Cleans up in seconds. Strong too with out stretching. Nice product.

Unlike traditional check cords, the TufFlex check cord has a nice feel to it and glides easily through the underbrush. light weight for the dog it is attached to. It cleans up very well. Not great when it gets wet where it may slide quickly through your hands if not wearing gloves but no rope burn.

It's just perfect, me and "sadie"lou" are in a deer search program.. !! we find wounded deer for hunters !! THANKS!

Would like to see a loop on the end to help in holding on.

One wish -- that it had a dead ring at the end. Leerburg has a similar item, a leather synthetic check cord -- with the dead ring - but black making it difficult to find. So if this one had a dead ring, it would be perfect.
