Absolutely one of the finest leather leashes on the market! Not only is it multi-funtional, the quality of the leather, hardware and workmanship is excellent as well. I purchased this leash in the 5 ft length since I already had a similar one in a 7 ft length from another maker that I had purchased a few years ago. This one is the perfect length for my close heel work while still retaining the multiple functions (over the shoulder, tethering, etc.) as my dog is tall and I'm not! I will be purchasing the 7ft length as well. Thanks, Guy!
