XiaZ 10ft Dog Tie Out Cable, Dog Runner for Yard Steel Wire Pet Cable with Durable Lockable Clips, Chains for Outside Dogs Lead for Medium Dogs Up to 60 LBS

Great for dopes that constantly pull hard. My dog has snapped multiple cables, wires, chains, ropes. You name it, he has snapped it with his hell bent for leather lunges at top speed at every car or person or cat or leaf. My dog broke clevises and clips rated for livestock. The Home Depot guy thought I had a bear at home after my third trip to buy clips and a bigger chain 😂 This cute purple wire lasted a year. I just had to replace it as the clip finally gave out. But it held up for a year of scorching Florida heat and rain. More importantly, it kept my tasmanian devil of a dog in my yard. No rust and no knotting after a year in terrible weather. Worth every penny for the security and relief it provides.

I have 4 purebred Siberian Huskies. They are masters at the art of pulling. Over the last 6 years I have tried many different brands with fair to middling results. If I got over 3 months on a lead, I was satisfied. When I got my first order of the XiaZ tie out cable, 3 were fine but 1 had an end that was broken. I chalked it up to the law of averages. They were replacement leads, I only needed one at the time, so it was not that big of a problem. Overtime they broke another lead, and I replaced it with another XiaZ lead. Then the third broke, and I replaced it with the third XiaZ lead. In the mean time the first XiaZ lead outside of some discoloration from the Florida sun, looked and functioned as if it were brand new. It withstood rain, heat, sand, and some serious pulling. I just ordered two more replacements leads for when they are needed. All four are now on XiaZ leads. With the oldest lead being over a year old. I am very pleased, and as long as they continue to hold up, I will keep buying them. I highly recommend them.

My labra bull (lab/pit bull mix) is pretty adept at one thing... snapping various tie outs and chains like they are made of straw. But this one he was not able to beat... at least not yet, after an entire summer and the fall season too of being on it near daily. Very happy with the strength of the line, as well as the quality of the hardware. Will definitely buy again if/when my goodest boi works his magic on the current edition!

IMPORTANT NOTE: You will notice two images attached to this review. Both images have stories behind them, and it is imperative that you consider them in context. If you can't/don't want to read this full review, disregard the images and only read the title or the summary at the end. Thanks. At the time of writing this review, I have purchased seven (7) of these cables for my two dogs, all of which are the 250lbs/20ft variety. One dog is a 55-pound big boi, and the other is a miniature Australian Shepard. Both are pretty active, and remain on the line 24/7. I'll save you the guesswork on how two dogs have gone through 7 cables and say that the little dog has gone through an average of 1 cable every 2 months, and the big dog an average of 1 cable every 1.5 months. Some of this is due to wear and tear, but a lot of this is due to neglect/tinkering by myself. Allow me to share some of the insights I have had over the past 4 months. - You need a swivel. I cannot emphasize this enough, but unless you intend on tying a vegetable to the end of this cable, you need to add your own swivel. Two, ideally. I did not add a swivel when first using this cable, and so my dog spent the night at the base of his stob because of how knotted up the line was. Depending on how you connect this cable to a base (more on that below), a swivel connector on the dog end may be sufficient. - The connector isn't great. It's made out of solid, thick metal, but the actual mechanism for the clasp is far from ideal. Like with any push-in clasp, if a dog sits on it right, they can push it open and free themselves (and they will at exactly every inconvenient time). This is somewhat solvable by the lock on the clasp, but you will need a good pair of plyers and a strong grip to make that lock anywhere near reliable long-term. My local Tractor Supply sells expensive, but quality cattle latches (ones that open by pulling the latch out, so the doggo can't push it open), and I use that as the actual dog connector, plus the above plyers and strong grip to keep it attached. - Base connections are complicated. Unless you are hooking the base side of the cable directly onto a small pole, you will need to come up with something clever. You can see the connector in the product images; it's only going to open so wide. I personally prefer getting a short length of chain, looping one end, and using that as the base. Not a problem with the product, but important to consider for your situation. - Long-term durability is not fantastic. This is where the two images come in, and they'll need some explanation. First of all, remember that I am using this cable on two dogs that are on it 24/7, are fairly or very active, and regularly pull quite hard. If you don't need this cable for that or a similar purpose, it might last you years. The image with the frayed end is mostly my fault. You can see that it does not have the default connector, and that is because I was dumb and angle-grinded it off. This, as you can probably guess, damaged the vinyl (plastic?) covering, resulting in increased stress on the steel cable and faster rusting. In the end, this otherwise fine tie line had to be replaced because the frayed cabling was scratching my dog a bit. This does, however, serve as a good example of what happens to the cable when the vinyl covering comes off from just regular wear and tear. The other image is taken from around the middle of one of my old cables and shows that the covering has worn off, exposing the steel cable to the elements. Once, I left the cable like this for too long, and my dog managed to straight-up pull it in two, freeing himself (no image provided, as I threw it away immediately without thinking - sorry). This is, by far, the biggest issue with the tie line. The steel cable is quality, the clasps are workable, and the vinyl keeps the dogs from hurting themselves... right up until it wears off. From what I can tell, this starts as the covering splitting, possibly from being kinked too much by my dog running in circles. I can't say for sure, but it is definitely the biggest thing to look out for on this tie line. Summary (TL/DR): Overall, this is a good cable for $15. Be mindful of how you're actually going to connect it to a base, and I highly recommend putting a swivel somewhere along it. Durability-wise, it will probably last between 1 and 3 months for continuous use - depending on the size and activity of your dog - but likely significantly longer otherwise. Thank you for attending my TED Talk.

I love this 50ft dog lead! It gives my pup plenty of freedom to explore while still keeping her safe and under control. The material feels strong and durable, but it’s not too heavy, so it doesn’t drag her down. Perfect for practicing recall training, hikes, or letting her roam around the yard without worrying. The length is just right for giving her space but still being able to reel her back in quickly if needed. Definitely worth it for dog owners who want that balance of freedom and safety!

It's a great product. I've bought a few. Front yard, back yard, one for walking around my pond. Never an issue

This lead will start off fine for a week then start curling into itself knotting and tangling. The plastic coating on mine cracked in many places and peeled off and the cord broke. I have a 55lb shepherd who was able to break it easily. For reference this was the 100ft 5mm blue cable. (Also not very “low light reflective” as it claims)

It is too early to tell yet if this will rust or not. I bought almost identical, but slightly thinner previously and that stuff rusted out very quickly. This seems to be better made. Fingers crossed.

And it sure did stop him Good length 10ft Not too long or short

Very strong product. Value for money.

Stronger and better than a previous other type , I added a spring to one end to cushion the sudden stop for our strong husky who I never leave unattended…

One of the carabineer snapped on the first use. Quite disappointed as the cable was looped several times around the tree. The cable is fine but now I have to order separate more heavy duty carabineer.
