TUG Quest Retractable Dog Leash 16 ft Nylon Tape for Medium Dogs, Black – 360° Swivel & One-Handed Brake

The TUG Quest Retractable Dog Leash gives medium-sized dogs up to 55 pounds a full 16 feet of exploration room while keeping you in control with a single hand. Its patented 360° swivel system stops the tape from twisting, so walks stay smooth without those annoying tangles. The black nylon tape is strong enough for daily use, and the one-handed brake, pause, and lock functions let you react instantly when needed.

How does the 360° swivel system work?

Instead of a fixed housing, the leash uses a rotating swivel that moves with your dog. As your pet changes direction, the whole unit turns, so the nylon tape never twists or kinks. This means fewer interruptions and a more natural walk for both of you.

Leash length and control for everyday walks

The tape extends up to 16 feet, which gives your dog enough space to sniff and explore without dragging you off the path. When you need to shorten up, squeeze the large brake button on the handle to stop the tape instantly. Press the lock to keep it at any length. The mechanism is responsive and easy to operate with one hand, even while holding a coffee or phone.

One-hand brake, pause, and lock

• Brake: squeeze to stop tape immediately
• Pause: hold brake to temporarily lock length
• Lock: slide button to keep tape fixed at current length

Is this leash suitable for your dog's size?

The Medium size is designed for dogs up to 55 pounds. The nylon tape is 16 feet long and the housing weighs just 12.63 ounces, making it light enough for smaller dogs but sturdy enough for active medium breeds. If your dog is larger or stronger than 55 lbs, consider the larger version from TUG.

Common questions about the TUG Quest Leash

Can I use this leash for a puppy?

Yes, as long as the puppy weighs under 55 pounds. The lightweight housing (12.63 oz) won't pull on a small dog's neck, and the brake system gives you quick control.

Does the tape retract automatically?

Yes, press the unlock button and the tape retracts smoothly back into the housing. The mechanism is designed to avoid snapping back too fast.

Is the swivel system replaceable?

The specifications do not mention replaceable parts. The swivel is built into the housing and should last the life of the leash under normal use.

What materials is the housing made from?

The housing is made of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), a durable plastic that resists impact and weather.
