The Shock Absorber  is a uniquely designed dog leash constructed from an engineered, stretchable cord composed of multiple elastic strands that form a core and is covered with a nylon sheath.  This leash is designed to absorb the shock and pressure often felt at both ends of the leash when the dog makes a sudden dash for something.  With the Shock Absorber, the remarkable stretch helps control the impact and both owner and dog feel a gradual increasing pressure rather than a sudden jerking sensation that could produce injury.  This strong, durable and vibrantly colored leash is handmade in the USA.
