I think it is a very good product. My only criticism is that they tell you that you should go purchase a part at a hardware store to replace a part on the product that will likely go bad over time. In my opinion, given the price I paid, they could have easily included that. Other than that, I'm very satisfied.

Maybe it's not what this lead was originally designed for, but my wife and I have found it to be perfect for walks and other outdoor excursions since our easily excited lab tends to be a bit of a puller.

I personally think this is a must have when teaching your dog to heel. It's stiff, so you don't have to worry about it getting tangled up in your dog's legs. Awesome product!

After attending a Smith seminar, I purchased my first wonder lead. Used it until it got misplaced. Was lost without it in training until I ordered a new one for new pups. Makes training simple and enjoyable.

Heard a lot of good things, and so far it has worked well, but only did 2 sessions. Might be a little harsh for a sensitive pup.

Works really well. My dog will stop and listen just by showing him the coiled up leash. This leash will tame the most stubborn dog. I tried all kinds of training leads, but this one works the best. It is good for training, not for everyday use. The ones like this made of soft nylon do not work as well, but are good for everyday use.

This thing is awesome. It was always a struggle to walk my Brittany, even with a choke chain. Within minutes of using the Wonder Lead he acted like a different dog. Now he heels great and we can take him walking around the neighborhood without it being a struggle the whole way. Great product.

I love using the wonder lead. It has helped me as a new bird dog hunter train a new puppy. It's worth giving it a try. My dog took to the lead very fast, and I am very please with the progress. By the way, my pup is 12 weeks old today.

A must have. The BEST product I have found. It is cheap compared to most things. It is easy to use, and the dog instantly responds to your guidance. It is the simplest way to enforce high quality training, even if you personally have little training experience. Buy the product, follow the simple instructions, and get great results. It is that simple. The dog learns who is alpha quickly, and it does not hurt them for no reason. It's the INSTANT corrective feedback that provides the dog with a high yield learning experience.

Great product. My trainer showed me how to use it on my shorthair. Boy did it change things quick. I now put it on him before going out. Just as a touch up. You really have some neat stuff

Tried it on a 4 month old Brittany pup who was apparently too young and small. The techniques on the video did not work as the loop would not stay in place and either slipped off her head or slipped down and became a noose. Went to a pinch collar which worked. Will try again when she is larger.

I've trained 3 competition dogs using the William Kohler Method, and a choker for AKC obedience trials. It works well for me. What I like best about this tool is that it is super effective on dogs that push ahead forward when heeling. The other feature I like is when used correctly it fine tunes every part of the heel exercise with instant feedback to the dog do to the quick correction then release. This tells the dog instantly where the correct heel position is to be. For competition, I use it to perfect Right & Left turns, figure 8's and about turns. Another big feature is characteristics of the rope where it tightens and loosens instantly with no lag. Not to say you can do the same thing with a choker and an experienced trainer, but it takes a lot more skill. Totally satisfied with this product. It solve a problem with my head strong lab wanting to walk 2 steps in front of me. Now he is one of the dogs people admire. One caution: this tool is to use it lightly, meaning more like quick, light pulls. Otherwise the dog will develop poor healing habits.

Rubber stopper could be improved to last more than a few times on the dog. Consider a different compound that is stiffer and wouldn't slide as easily. The little plastic thing doesn't help much. Concept is great just needs a new engineered stopper.

I purchased the Delmar Smith Wonder Lead. This may be the single best piece of dog training equipment ever devised. Had pup calmly walking at heel in less than ten minutes. Even better finally allowed my wife to take a dominant position to the pup with little effort. With her new confidence pup is responding to her commands. I cannot recommend it enough.

It certainly works at getting the dog to respond to the lead. I felt that it was beneficial in instilling the heel command in several of my dogs. However, I did not like how quickly the rubber stopper wore out on the lead. The piece of rubber is supposed to keep the loop small enough that the loop won't slip down the dog's neck, but instead will stay nicely up behind the dog's ears. This worked well for a little while, but within a couple of months, the inside of the rubber was worn down and there wasn't enough friction to keep it in place. Other than that I like the product.

With the narrow head profile of the English (female), I found it very difficult to keep the lead up near the ears and impossible to use it over one or both ears. The lead is very stiff (I think a little too stiff) and she tended to pull forward on the heal training. The lead always ended up down the neck where she is very comfortable pulling me around.
