2010 ReadyLeash Updates
Based on customer feedback, we have made a number of improvements to our 2010 product line!
- New Colors Available (including lime, tangerine, fuschia, and grey)
- 2 Webbing Widths Available (5/8″ width for dogs under 50-lbs, 1″ width for dogs over 50-lbs)
- Super-strong hardware – best in class hardware upgraded for your pup’s safety!
- Increased leash length to 6-ft (adjustable from 4-6 ft)
We have decided to eliminate the XtraLeashes from our line. You can still achieve the 2 and 3 dog attachment by using a standard coupler. These couplers simply attach to the snap hook at the end of the leash.
Lastly, we are very proud to announce that these new ReadyLeashes are made in Massachusetts! Our factory is located in beautiful Ipswitch, MA, a stone’s throw away from our headquarters in downtown Boston. Building locally enables us to ensure quality, support our local economy, and cut down on greenhouse gases. We are thrilled about this switch, and we hope that our customers appreciate it as well.
As always, we appreciate our customer’s feedback. Please let us know what you think of the changes.
If the leads are no longer detachable, does this mean you can’t attach a second lead anymore?
The 2010 ReadyLeash does not support secondary leads, but on the bright side it works well with most couplers.
So the possibility of walking more than one dog is certainly possible, we just don’t make the equipment anymore.
they look awsome.call me back, i may carry them in my shop.
hi even, do you have any window decals or posters with rosco dog logo to display in the shop. i like “for the responsible dog owner” see ya soon. trudy
I am so disappointed to hear that the new ReadyLeash line does not allow for the addition of an extra leash. I am a professional pet-sitter/dog-walker and I love the ability to walk two dogs with one strong, comfortable handle with the ReadyLeash. I don’t like couplers becuase they don’t allow the two dogs much freedom of independent movement. Thus, if one dog pulls off in one direction, the other dog is jerked along. I was going to recommend the ReadyLeash to my clients with two dogs because I was really pleased with how it worked. I guess there is no need to recommend it now. I can get the same effect of your new line of ReadyLeashs by using the leash-lock on my Flexi. You’ve re-designed the uniqueness right out of your product.
Thanks for your comments, Amy! We really appreciate the feedback, and we’ll be sure to keep this in mind for future product changes. Our intent was to take some of the bulk out of the product by eliminating the metal hardware near the handle. This change does improve the usability and general comfort of the product, but it prevents the XtraLeashes from being used as in the previous design. You are certainly able to attach a standard coupler to the end of the ReadyLeash, but you make a good point about dogs needing their independent freedom. Again, thanks for your comments, and please let us know if you have any other thoughts.
What a great idea to add the plastic bag holder to the leash!1 Great colors
I think your new way of attaching the leash is good, especially since my D-ring snapped and I can’t find another one that will fit and still be strong enough. So my wonderful leash handle and all of its attachments have been rendered completely useless at this point. However, the whole reason I got your leash was to have the multi-lead attachments. I like the super short for my dog when we are out on therapy visits, but then I like the separate long leashes when I’m walking all of my dogs at once so that they have more freedom than a coupler allows. Its quite disappointing that you have removed that wonderful feature. I was on your site again today to see if by chance you had any type of replacement pieces available, or to see if I could possibly get another handle only to use with all of the detachable leads I recently purchased. Oh, well. I guess I’m back to the drawing board for creating my own unique one that will continue to give me the flexibility I need.
Thanks for your honest feedback, Amanda. We are doing our best to accommodate the needs of our users, and we certainly take your feedback into consideration in our future product improvements.
I like the pink one, my dog Sissy is a red Pit Bull…She loves her walks…and she loves to poop, your leashes will work great!!!!!!
I like these. I can’t wait to try one out.
