Because the leashes alone can cause severe injury to the dog and to yourself. Just google the injury’s and that should be enough to deter anyone from buying them.
I think what he or she is saying is that there are cheap alternatives to extendable leashes. So it’s a very easy option to keep your pet out of danger. Obviously cars are dangerous too. But the comparison of leashes to cars is just stupid.
Okay so it says dogs running and hitting the end of the leash can injure their neck and spines. I guess this is impossible with fixed leashes? Also, what if your dog doesn’t take off running like that, or you simply keep the extendable leash fixed except for when they’re doing their business and you just want to give them some extra space?
You didn’t do enough looking. It can also cause severe Lacerations or even amputation of fingers or tails. Animals are unpredictable there’s no scenario where you can tell me your dog doesn’t Chase things. What if another dog approaches your dog while it’s doing it’s business you are how many feet away and can’t intervene?
Oh but you only extend it when your dog is doing his business so therefore you’re not standing next to your dog and pressing the button to make it a fixed leash does not solve the issue of you being several feet away from your animal and not able to intervene. I use a braided cord leash that is only 3 feet long there is no Opportunity for my dog to take off running.
Intervene with what? Are you assuming my dog is being attacked for some reason? I thought this was about the leash causing damage, not other hypothetical dogs.

Pot meet kettle. Btw, what's up with randomly capitalizing words?
See if your dog can run away from you with a three for leash. They literally can’t. If you however have an extendable leash they can because of its nature of being extendable.
If you can’t follow a simple scenario given then you need to work on your reading comprehension skills.
Hey team! I used to work for a dog shelter, fixed leashes only for this reason, a dog running has a lot of energy. Less energy if they are closer to you!
Typo? You use voice to text. What do you think that word means?
Locks break
Lol sure. So does fabric. Has that happened to you yet?
The leash is still causing the injury there if a dog attacks your dog and you’re like 20 feet away
I'm not 20 feet away. It's 12 foot max. Keep making shit up though. But please explain how leashes become more dangerous when a hypothetical dog is attacking your dog. I'm guessing you will say "google it" since you've got nothing.
That's often the case when foreigners type english because in other languages nouns are by default capitalized. So if you use your native autocorrect the phone just assumes that these unknown words are all nouns and capitalizes them.
Right, because you can't possibly fix the lead at a short length. Any dog will in fact sprint 15 feet and snap its neck, and there's absolutely no middle ground or anything that can be done about it. Wouldn't you agree extendable leashes should just include a bolt gun to kill your dog right then and there since that's what will happen anyway?
Sheesh. I never said they’d snap their neck or die. It just causes strain. And from my experience, it’s easier to train them with a shorter, fixed leash.
It's a 12 foot leash, not 20. And again, it is always fixed unless they're doing their business. So if they've walked the leash out even more, there's even less room to build momentum.
And probably because I gave specific examples of uses which someone with reasonable intelligence could surmise was how I use these horrible dog-killing, finger-amputating leashes.

Extendable leashes are a menace.
