The Ruffwear Stow'n Go Leash is a dog collar, leash, and pickup-bag dispenser all in one. This means you can stash the Stow'n Go Leash in your backpack or glove box and you'll be set for a spur-of-the-moment walk with your pup. The ultralight leash has a wide, comfortable handle and a thin, light midsection, the Stow'n Go Leash's collar adjusts for all dogs, and the pickup bag's dispenser makes it easy to clean up (bags not included). The molded foam case that stores the Stow'n Go Leash is the size of a sunglass case.
Bottom Line: Leash, collar, and pickup-bag dispenser all in the space of a sunglass case.
This leash does what it intends to do - it is meant as a training leash, with the collar to be worn high up on the neck of the dog, behind its ears. When the dog needs a correction, you gently tug on the leash/collar combination (like Cesar Millan) and it will briefly close down around high on the dog's neck. So if you want a more substantial leash because your dog pulls you all over the place, then this leash is not for you, because ideally the dog should not be pulling around the handler. I don't give this item 5 stars simply because the carrying case for the poop bags is a little too big for my liking, it feels bulky during the walk. Also, unless you can fit a pre-spooled set of bags so that you can effortlessly pull one bag out after another, then I am not sure how you can do that with this one if you just put them in yourself.
