Answer 1

Is that the Flexi that is all belt????? I have one and got it from a company called Big Dog Basics a few years ago. I am sure they still make it. Try JB pet supplies and Cherrybrook too. They are online and have a catalog they can send you.

Answer 2

If you are looking for the original all belt Flexi Giant. It is $40.95 plus shipping at the first link below.

The second link says that the "newly designed" all belt Flexi Giant has NO WEIGHT LIMIT. The New designed Flexi Giant goes for about $59.95.

The second link is to Ray Allen Professional Dog Equipment. This company has an outstanding reputation among police department K-9 handlers as selling the best equipment available in the market. I think if this particular leash is being sold on their website, then you can be pretty sure that they have tested the product to the extremes and stand behind its claims. I would buy the "newly designed model if your dog is over 200 lbs since the older version has a weight limit of 200lbs.

Good luck with your Giant Pet!!!

Answer 3

I don't think they make one. I would first train your dog in loose leash walking (check the link) and then get a the highest weight flexi you can find and use it. The flexi won't need to be for dogs 200 lbs or heavier if he is not using all 200 lbs to pull against it. You could also use a choke collar to keep him from pulling too hard... Depends on where you stand, I clicker train.

Answer 4

Anything over 75lbs, I wouldn't use a retractable - there's just too much power behind them. My dog's about 95lbs and it wouldn't work for her. My dog has a really strong prey drive, so something like a retractable just wouldn't give me the leverage I need to keep her from running into traffic after those stupid squirells on the other side of the street.

Get a good leather leash - better control, etc. knot it every foot or so, or get one pre-knotted.

Answer 5

You should try a head collar called a halti. This is great for big dogs and controls their heads, making it very easy to control the dog. These are available at pet stores. I've also seen a retractable leash as Walmart recently for 170 +.

Answer 6

Length up to 26 feet with "no weight limit" I typed in bullmastif retractable leash and came up with this, sense you must have an insanely big dog, like a mastif or similar. Check out the link if it doesn't work just go to www.futurepets.com hope this works for you.

Answer 7

Wow, ok I was going to suggest PetSmart. I actually did a little research, and all I found was for 110 lb. Keep searching, good luck.

Answer 8

Try ordering one online. I have a saint bernard, and I got his leash online. I don't remember the website though. Sorry.

Answer 9

go to http://www.petsmart.com/ and search leashes for dogs over 200 lbs. there are no retractable leashes but there is regular leashes

Answer 10

I dont know Where you would get one...But WHY would you WANT one for a dog that big..I Detest those Flexi Leashes!
