Your search for the perfect dog leash is over! The Quirky Kōsoku is a fully-featured leash designed with both doggy and owner comfort in mind. You’ll both find Kōsoku’s combination of plush and rigid materials the ideal walking companion.
Features:
- Fully retractable 9-foot long leash.
- Reflective 3M tape surface for extra visibility.
- Side pocket to hold doggy “waste” bags.
- Shock-absorbent neoprene and durable nylon canvas wrapped around a semi-rigid core for strength and flexibility.
- Designed for dogs up to 45 lbs.
Take a look at the development process behind Kōsoku:
Price, qty and features subject to change during production process.
The strap for the wrist is a good idea, but appears too snug to get the hand out in an emergency. It may need to have a velcro-type release. This design causes the owner to buy pre-packaged bags. Can other bags be folded down tight enough to fit in leash? Will more than one bag fit in the leash? After the first futile attempt of stuffing a bag in the leash, the price becomes an aggravation.
All of the traditional retractible leases have hard plastic handles that make it too difficult to use more than one at a time. I have 2 dogs and it is impossible to control both of them with one hand while I pick up after their mess. Assuming the lease can be locked so it does not extend while both are in one hand and you are working with the other hand to pick up, the looped handle of the Kosoku solves that problem and adds a unique marketing angle.
I think it's great as an all in one unit, no more excuses for not bagging your pets waste. Good idea, I personally don't need one because I have an older dog that walks without a leash, but I will recommend it for sure. Glenn Ramsbottom Nelson BC
