Okay here is my review of the flexi with the cord leash: I don't like it.
The cord is so light it gets tangled in freaking everything. In addition to the usual difficulties of a longline on a small dog who walks under all plant matter, the cord will be actively snagging on things while I'm untangling it. It somehow??? got wrapped around my handheld while I was working it out of some tall grass and it changed all my settings. Somehow. So I need to figure how to put everything back.
The cord is so fine it's hard to see where exactly its tangled, or in what direction. And I'm afraid it'll get caught on a piece of wood and just straight up snap. It definitely wasn't designed for the places I'm taking it.
Plus Zaku straight up cannot see the cord so he keeps blasting through and strangling Spyro.
Also I wish it was longer but I guess the manufacturer doesn't think a small dog needs more than 16 feet of line.
So I need to go back and buy another flexi, this time with the ribbon. I like the ribbon fine on Zaku's flexi, so that should solve most of my issues. Just not the one where a small dog designed to walk under brush will get its line tangled in brush lol. That will be solved once I finish ecollar training.
