So, what is the difference in sizes, then? Is it the leash length that differs, or the size of the handle, or both? Couldn't find any sizing reference: how long is the small, medium, and large??

Oli-- by selecting the small, medium, or large boxes at the bottom of the description, you'll see that the handle size changes. Also, the larger size will hold a heavier dog. I believe the leash-length is 16 feet regardless of handle size. You can find a longer leash-length from the same maker, also on Amazon.

It is the width of the retractable leash itself. My previous leash was 1" - 1/4" wide and that was just right for a big Labrador. The one I ordered is narrower. The size of the handle and length of the lease are just fine. I couldn't find any reference to widths when I was ordering and just assumed that the retractable would be the same size as my previous leash. They are easier to handle and don't get entangled to the same extent.

As I understand it the sizes relate to size and weight of dog in addition to length of leash. I believe the grip handle is larger as well for the longer length buy have nothing specific about the size of the grip.

The sizing has to do with the weight of your dog. The larger has a heavier gauge retractable cord to securely hold your dog. I have only seen and used one standard handle size.

The length is stated as 16 ft. Each size has specs stated-heavier weight and handles for the large dogs.

Yes leash length, and once you get over 44 lbs. the leash turns into a strap instead of a cord.

Length is confusing cause if you don't select a size the description of the shortest one they label as "Medium" is 66" (other bigger sizes are "Regular" & "Large"). When you try to select size there is no "Medium" choice in drop down menu and the smallest size is "small" and the length says 47". Can anyone clarify or is this a mistake in the listing?

I am sorry for the delay in answering. I would say the leash is about 3 feet long.

It is approximately 9 inches long. It fits my husband's hand, as well as my hand, with room to spare. I would say definitely a medium, but large is probably best description :-)

I love this leash. It's totally worth buying. Although I use it on dogs taller than yours. I have two 50 lb siberian huskies and this is 4 feet long. Which is fine for my height dogs but you might need a 6 ft. Just a thought. Maybe do some measuring between the dog and your grasp. I'm 5'6 so if you are closer to the ground it might work? Def works great. Very bright and I'm constantly asked about where to get this since out at night on a dark boardwalk and without notice people think my huskies are "wolves". :)

The Medium version is 13" tall. The small is 5". My daughter has the 5 inch version, I saw it and fell in love, and got the larger for me. :)

The leash is 18" long of which 7" is the handle itself; it connects to 40" leads which can be adjusted with a sliding clamp along the 40". (We have a Golden and Min Poodle and have the leads adjusted to 22" each.

This is the large size. I did replaced the ring that came with this (it wasn't soldered), but the next time I used it the handle came apart and my dog ran into traffic. She didn't get hit, but it was truly scary. If you have a sturdy leash, you can make your own version of this. Go to the hardware store and get a metal ring that's about 1.75" in diameter (it'll cost you a couple of bucks). Clip your leash to your dog's collar. Slip the ring on the leash, wrap the leash under your dog's stomach and bring it back up the other side. Loop the handle through the ring. That's all this product is... a poor quality leash with a metal ring. Save your money and make your own. This is the large size.

well I measure my dog...he is 15- 15 1/2...I got the small they are adjustable...and I have a real hard time getting the two connections together...Dog doesn't want to wait...I think I would go medium and adjust...I have a mina. austrailian shepard...and full of hair so it is doubly difficult to attach...It is worth it however, as it does change the walk...like it...I forget what size the medium fits...

It's a Small, medium, Large thing. The harness is easily adjustable with a slide stop at the leash end. So I would say, if you had a large dog, get a large,ect,ect.

I don't find the handle small. I have small hands to begin with. I think it's sized correctly for its purpose as EDC knife.

This is the listing for the small. The medium or large, if you can still find anyone selling them, tend to have measurements posted in the listing. They are not being made anymore, and were not at the time of this question, so might not be any left. The new ones are all plastic, and different measurements. ( Info added for anyone who has the same question, assuming the original asker made their decision last year.)

I got the 1.5" wide for my 80 lb. dog and the 1" for my 75 lb dog. I like the thicker one better for their size. For the weight of the dog, I recommend getting a wider one - so if they pull on the leash, the weight is more distributed and is better for them.

I have a miniature long-haired dachshund. I bought the 'small' (7.5 inch) for her, and it works perfectly. I loved the brush so much, that I ended up ordering the large (9.25 inch) for myself, and absolutely love it.

The sizing is generous. Our 55 pounder is using a medium and there is ample harness left over after adjustment to fit. The excess is not a problem. As mentioned in another posting, the leftover makes a good close in leash if you are using a retractable lead. Your dogs would probably be fine in the small.

Hi D. Aubrey! The blade length is 3.5 inches, and the handle length is 2.5 inches. I like using it. It feels good in my hand (I wear men's size small gloves). Hope this helps.

Since 18.5" is the exact dividing line between medium and large, I suggest you call Simple Leash at 1-888-800-6118 to ascertain the proper size to order. They are a family owned business and very customer oriented.
