Does the flexi actually reel the dog in? I've never had or used one so I'm not sure how it works. Wouldn't you have to pull back on the dog and the line yourself? I use a long line for pottying dogs and have a knot tied every foot so I can grab it at whatever point or "reel" the dog in knot by knot. Since I live in the city w/ a leash law there's really nowhere I could use a flexi and if we are out roaming they are either off leash or dragging a thin ASAT line which doesn't wrap or catch on anything. I do have a tie-out in my yard so that can be used for a dog that needs to potty but could escape (yard is also fenced but Coke will go over or under).

The main reason I'd never use one is that I cannot hold one the way I hold a normal leash. I don't use handles at all, I cut them off or undo the seam so all my leashes are just lines. I hold them with the line over my index finger gripped in my hand. A show handler showed me this and a dog has never pulled away from me this way, I'm told it's also how horse lines are held.
