We were at a park today and suddenly I was left holding a leash with no dog at the other end. Luckily Maiya came back to me after I called her a few times (and thankfully, no traffic or other dogs around).
This isn't the first time that I've had leash failure. I thought it was a fluke the first 2 times it happened and then after the 3rd time, I stopped using the older leash and started using a newer leash. This is at least the 2nd time it has happened with the newer leash. Normal leather leashes with the button that you push to clip to the collar. It has happened with both dogs and they were wearing pinch collars each time. I can't find a flaw in either the collars or leash. I've had pinch collars pop off but never had leashes come off with my other dogs.
I'm a little nervous now not knowing when it will happen again. Has anyone else experienced this? Any recommendations for sure-clip leashes?
