If you are concerned about your dog not under control, the item allays that concern. We use it with a training (prong) collar that can sometimes come loose. The backup is connected to the base of the leash and the dog's flat (normal) collar. When the training collar unexpectedly opened, the dog was still under control. Just what we wanted.
Added: The above is accurate, but we since learned that it was too long for a small dog and would hang by the front leg. Occasionally, the dog's leg went through the loop causing a minor problem. The construction of this leash is first rate. The variety of vibrant colors matched our main leashes. They looked great. If it came in a shorter version (e.g. about 4"), we'd consider buying it.
