I am a dog walker and really like this leash. When I first got it, I just wasn't sure, but now I love it. I use it as waist belt and hook it to a single dog's collar. All of the dogs I walk just have collars. I like the bungee part and it is holding up nicely. I have used the handle/waist belt/collar as a collar when I couldn't find a dog's harness. I use the loop down by the snap when crossing the street. I use the leash for hands free walking. I wish I bought two when ordering. I had another leash that basically did the same thing without the bungee and didn't think I needed two at the time. Going to order another one soon. The leash is light weight compared to others. The strap is reflective which I really like as sometimes I am out after dark. Update: (4/28/2022) I bought the smaller version in blue to use on the smaller dogs. I actually had been using the larger leash on smaller dogs with no problem, but sometimes I walk a second dog and can use this leash if the dog is a smaller dog. The only thing that makes the smaller leash weird is the little handhold near the snap. I can't grab that all the way down there. I used the loop all the time on the larger leash with a big dog when crossing the street or whenever I need more control. Just no way that I can reach it when the leash is on a little dog. Would have been better to put a loop up above the bungee part for the smaller dogs. Anyhow, I use the leash I purchased first every day and sometimes for more than one dog. I wanted the smaller leash for the smaller dogs and I just don't think I need any other leashes. The bungee really helps keep me from getting really jerked around.
