Too much slack in leash
I have been using a belted leash for my dog for ages -- he pulls a lot and it gives me more leverage. I had the old waist leash that REI sold, but the leash clips on that often came undone, leaving my dog off-leash. However, that leash was better, as it didn't have any slack or give to it, unless I made it longer.The belt on this is really comfortable and the pouch is great. Sits comfortably on my hips and doesn't move, even while running.The leash itself, however, leaves a lot to be desired. I am on the shorter side, and while I have this leash on as short a setting as possible, it still leaves the dog a ton of freedom...which is not good when trying to keep him close while walking/running in a crowded area. Because of the elasticity, I often can't pull him closer without grabbing him by the harness. Not ideal. I had much greater hopes for this piece.
