As every morning when I wake up, it is time to walk my 8 month old, Chocolate Lab pup. A stout 55lbs. and capable of pulling my 07 Dodge Ram 1500. I've seen her try. She has on more than one occation tried to pull me down when she sees something of interest (cats, frogs, squirrels, leaves). Not wanting to risk another potential slipping of the shoulder socket, I install a shock cord between her collar and leash. Problem solved. Apparently they are effective on 35lb. Grouper and dogs. Now walks are 10x safer for her and I. Feel free to try!

I have been thinking the exact same thing, but not made one myself.
In Norway you can buy purposely made belts, leashes and harnesses for cross-country skiing with dogs. The leashes have built in shock cords and work great for keeping a tight leash and softening sudden jolts from the dog.
I have chocolate lab male who is about 2 and 1/2 years and weighing in at 92 lbs, without being overweight. Anything from rocks to people will make him go over the moon with excitement, so a shock cord on the standard walking leash may be a life saver indeed!
