This is a great invest for anyone! Very well made cord that you will not have to spend a day pulling briars out of after you’ve been in the field. Strong material and well stitched gives you confidence when giving corrections on a hard headed dog towards the end of range if needed to get the point across of who is in charge. It does get slick in moisture though making it a little difficult to keep a hold of.

When we got our first dog, we cheaped out and got the cotton/nylon long lines. As a bird dog, she drug that through everything under the sun and it began to deteriorate quickly. This long line is incredibly good quality and lasts. The rivets and brass definitely make it stand out from others. Our dogs love it!

Durable, light weight and doesn’t tangle. Does everything it is supposed to.

I really liked my 20 ft TufFlex and a friend saw it and liked it, so I bought him a 30 ft to help train his pointer pup.

Had them all, by far the best.

I purchased to give my dog more leeway other than a retractable leash. I find it easier on him, less tugging. I purchased the 30 foot lead. The only thing I may have done differently was order the 40 foot one.

Really love this long line. Easy to see. Don't need to worry about keeping it clean. Just wipe it down when needed.

After an old, flexible poly/nylon lead succumbed to my dog biting through it, I ordered this one as a replacement. I was quite comfortable handling the old lead and letting it in and out on walks, but it was easily knotted and could deliver a killer rope burn/cut, if my dog caught me off-guard and bolted. This replacement lead is a great bright color, is not likely to get knotted or caught if you drop it entirely. However, living in Anchorage, it is stiff in cold weather and not as easy to loop in and out in my hands as I adjust my dog’s distance from me. I am also disappointed that if I step on it to anchor my dog, it is stiff enough that it can slip from under even my studded boot. Something about it being stiffer also has me accidentally getting my foot through it n a dangerous situation more often than the older, poly/nylon lead I had. I suspect it will be better to handle when the weather warms, but not sure I’d buy this one again.

Would give 4.5 stars. Was told it was indestructible, my dog got it caught under the bucket of the tractor and the outside split. The inner core is holding strong. The outer material sometimes snags but it is really a great cord. Will definitely be ordering another!

I like the hi vis color and cleanability. Suprised about no hand loop but its solved a long term problem which is the loops catching on something while the dog is running leash on in an area where he could get snagged. Now I can make my own loop in knot form as needed or tack to form my own permenant

Doesn’t burn you hands and pulls easy behind the dog through the brush. Best lead I’ve ever used.

Works as advertised and doesnt snag going thru and around brush while training for the blood tracking portion of the VGP. Would recommend for sure.

better in the cattails

I purchased the 30’ Tufflex check cord so that I could practice long line work with my Clumber Spaniel Wil, who I don’t yet trust off lead in the field. It’s very sturdy but also lighter than other long lines I’ve owned. It’s hard to see in the photo because the grass is tall but the cord is bright and easily visible. I’m planning on purchasing more of these check cords as gifts for my training buddies!

Used to use ropes which tangled and got wet. This is a game changer for puppy Manager and also holds up to chewing :)

Great check cord. Nothing gets stuck on the material and it is durable and easy to see.

Received mine as a gift. Bought one for my nephew. I train dogs for a profession and it make learning so much easier for dog and human .

We purchased this 30 ft. line from Gun Dog Supply, and we've been very happy with our purchase thus far! Our dog is just a little over a year and this cord works wonders in keeping her within a safe range of us.

I got the 10' cord on closeout and I liked it. It does not get nearly as wet as the cotton cord that I had, and it slides thru the grass and over deadfalls much better than the cotton cord. It has a good feel in your hand and does not burn like a nylon cord might. I would buy it again.

This check cord is nice quality and does what it’s supposed to do. I live in the desert, so any type of rope material picks up cactus spines and other pointy stuff. The TuffFlex check cord hasn’t picked up any cactus spines thus far! The TuffFlex check cord does a pretty good job of not getting hung up on all of the brush in the areas I hunt. It is a cord, so it will get hung up on really thick nasty brush, especially when the dog is an over zealous 1.5 year old. I bought the 30 foot, but will probably get the 50 ft and the 10 ft as well. Shipping was top notch and fast as always. Thanks GDS.

Might work for a 45+ lb dog. My dogs are 20 lbs give or take a few. Outer covering is soft rubber. Hard to pull through brush once they zigzag through a few trees/bushes the dog is stuck. Guess I’ll buy some rivets and make some cool leashes.

Can't say enough good things about the TufFlex material. This check cord has worked beautifully for our 1 year old Lab. She has the freedom to swim and explore and we have the piece of mind knowing that if needed we can keep her out of trouble. This check cord is light weight and does not pick up debris. Clean up is a snap. We use a damp paper towel to wipe it down with and the cord is like new. There is no knotting and it slides through reeds and weeds that would usually tangle up a cord.

As always, Gun Dog Suppy delivers their product in a timely basis. I ordered this for training our 8 mo old Airedale Terrier to come. Right now he loves to play with it, so a work in progress….I will continue to order from this company as the need arises.

I was so pleased with the first lead I bought several years ago that I gave it to a friend who needed to train her puppy. I just replaced it for my two dogs early season refresher training.

Really good piece of equipment for the price.

Simple and effective. Great for training your pup. Material cleans up easily and doesn’t get snagged like braided leads.

This is a great check cord. I’ve tried other check cords, nylon rope check cords webbing check cords and with the tufted material, it is less of a problem snagging on brush etc. the the rope or web cords.

Slides smooth, and doesn’t get hung up.

It slides so easily through heavy grass and cover. Excellent hardware as well

Whoever made this put some thought into it. It's made with a heady duty clip and the rubber cord does not get caught on limbs or debris as your dog drags it on the ground. I love the fact that if it gets dirty you can just wipe or hose it off. I'm very happy with this product!

This is the perfect solution for training a puppy. Easy to see - even when dirty in the tall grass.

Same materials used as the Tufflex collars, not stiff and well made. Should last a lifetime. Nice clasp on the end to secure your pup.

Made out of great material, perfect check cord for training in the field

No snags--super strong. Gets the job done.

easy to hang on to, no gloves needed

Built well and affordable. I have 3 in the kennel.

Perfect for land and water work. Easy to keep clean

After picking burrs mud and water out of our previous check cords, this TufFlex check cord has been an invaluable tool in working on dogs through brush, burrs, water, and snow because nothing sticks to it.

For once a product that works as one would wish! Completely "Off leash" is not yet an option during training for our 14 month retriever. The 30 foot check leash has been just right - he can run through brush with it and it does not snag (as our other long training leashes did); at the beach it does not collect sand and thus does not "sandpaper" your hands (ditto for not collecting dirt/mud in the field, shakes right off). He is getting better on recall but 30 foot is enough to keep control if he is tempted to become distracted. We like the "orange" not only easy to see, but lets other pet owners know that he is "in class" thus maybe not ready for playtime.

This is simply the best check cord I have ever used

Soft, supple check cord, no rope burn, doesn’t catch in brush or bushes, no tangle around trees. Love it. Like leather, but more durable.

This is a great check cord! It is lightweight and does not tangle in the field. Very lightweight for a puppy to pull in the field.

A good line for quality that the dog can’t chew through yet light enough to throw another decoy or item attached to the end for a young pup. I would always recommend to go longer rather than shorter in total length

Does not tangle making it easy to use.

They dry easily for daily storage and do not snag because of their construction material design.

It is nice. You can trim it shorter if you like. It is a bit harder to hold when wet, but I would still recommend over rope! There are also no worries about it unraveling.

This check cord is very flexible and easy to hold. Won't slip with only a little pressure. Coils nice without tangling.

The brass snap is too heavy.

The TufFlex Check cord works great!
