My cats are already used to it. It was much harder to install than I expected - had to go to the hardware store more than once. Looks just fine now that it is installed and the flap is working good.
I usually do not get these types of leashes for my dog because he is a mastiff so he's big and he is a puller and I honestly have to say this leash did the job he pulled but it held him back unlike others which he can just pull and pull.I really love this leash great design.
Best leash we have ever owned in 40 years of dog ownership. Supple leather right out of the box. No stitching means long life. Braids at the ends secure the leash. I have a 100 pound Akita-Kuvasz, and the leash is stronger than the dog or me. This leash would hold any dog in the world. Strong. Great leash. Promptly shipped. Each leash comes in a cloth pouch, inside a box, then that box padded in a shipping box.
This is the nicest leash I've ever owned! Imagine a web, chain or retractable leash on a Malinois or German Shepherd, just doesn't work. I've always had 6' leather for training and walks. However, they have always been just "okay". This one is marvelous. It also came packaged like a bottle of Chanel...nice box and a bag to keep it in. I've had this one for almost a year and am ordering another today for my new dog. I would not order another leash that just "looks like" this one, it has to be Lavien from now on.
Great product. Lease is very light and fits nicely into my hand. I have a Jack Russel that likes to tug on the leash, and this leash does not slip when he's pulling
