First of all, the padded hand loop is AWESOME if you are leash training or have a determined puller. The metal attaching clip is HEAVY and will definitely last! Overall, this is a well made and strong leash, which we found out when we discovered our rescue was terrified of loud, sudden noises. The accessories are lightweight and easily attach to the leash ring, bit we did have to replace the plastic accessories clip with a metal one.I like for my baby's collars, harness, and leashes to match, and this offers plenty of color options!
