This is a double-connection (2-point contact) lead. It's perfect for use with a harness that allows you to attach the lead to both the chest and back. It allows you to distribute the pulling force while maintaining your dog's body balance. The lead itself has snap hooks on both sides, one fixed ring, and one moving ring. You can remove the handle from the lead and replace it, allowing for different ways to use it. When used as a regular lead: Approximately 2.4m or 1.4m long When used as a double-connection lead: Approximately 1.4m long Used a few times, but I couldn't see any damage to the metal fittings or the lead itself. If you want to see detailed photos, please comment. [Narrow width (1.6cm wide)] Recommended for dogs weighing less than approximately 18kg (40lbs). Suitable for Dachshunds, Italian Greyhounds, Whippets, Jack Russell Terriers, Beagles, Miniature Schnauzers, etc.
