You may know I don’t like flexi-leashes. I just found a whole new kind of dog leash with the benefits of a flexi-leash and none of the problems. These are cool! It lets you walk your dog on a leash up to 6′ in length, but eliminates possibility of tangling up under your dog’s feet or around your legs. They’re made by a new company called Laughing My Tail Off and they’re really unique.
The leashes are made from a polyurethane coil that automatically coils up to 2′ when your dog is close to you, but stretches out to 6′ when he wanders farther away. Since they’re not made of elastic, the coils are permanent and won’t give out with use. The handles are padded so your hands don’t get torn apart, and because the leash has “give” to it, your dog doesn’t hurt himself. They come in fun styles and colors and are lightweight and easy to shove in a pocket. They’re well made and so unique that I just had to offer them.
At the moment, they’re recommended for dogs up to 50 pounds. If you’re looking for a leash that’s easy to carry and won’t get in your way, you might want to take a look at these. They’re just too much fun for words and very practical. I’ve included some pictures of the patterns available – you can click on the images to go the page that carries them for more info if you’re interested.

I feel bad for both you and your dog. I know swimming is good exercise for arthritis. I don’t know if it would help your dog, but you might want to look into getting a dog life jacket and taking him out on the water. It might help him get the workout he needs with out causing the pain that running around apparently causes.
Great site. A lot of useful information here. I’m sending it to some friends!
