Years from now our dogs will look back on 2019 and reminisce about the bungee leash. Something more elegant might be created by then.
But the bungee is the first major development to the dog leash since 1908 when the retractable leash was invented. Bungees, as you may know, are used to absorb the shock of a sudden pull, so in a dog leash, bungees act to lessen the effect of a dog’s pull on you and on your dog.

But your dog should already be trained not to pull, so I would not put a bungee leash on your dog until he is trained to walk by your side. Once your dog is trained to heel, you may choose to use a bungee cord leash, but I would only use it occasionally, when you’re walking in a park or on a trail – on a pleasure walk. This is because the bungee will teach your dog that he can pull.
Here are two highly recommended bungee leashes for medium to large dogs.
If you are interested in a good bungee leash, the SparklyPets Heavy Duty Rope/Bungee Leash is rated very high, especially for strong pullers. It comes in two parts: a rope leash and a bungee attachment.

The bungee segment attaches to your dog’s collar or, hopefully, a no-pull harness. The bungee segment smartly includes a grip near the leash hook in case your need to stop your dog up close and personal….
