I no longer gripe as much about trigger-style clips because Chloe wears a Gentle Leader harness now, and it has only one ring. Her previous harness (the Airness harness I mentioned) has two rings, whose instincts are to move apart, so a leash clip had to prevent that. I found that the two relevant parts of a typical trigger-style clip don't meet perfectly, and often have a little side-to-side play, and the pressure of the harness rings tended to push the two parts apart, unclipping her. A clip like the one on the Cinopelca leash worked better: It looks like a continuous oval (or almost), but one part pushes inwards, to hold the harness rings. When released, that part springs back out into line with the rest of the clip. Because the clip is smooth inside, and has to be pushed inwards to be unclipped, there's no way that even a pair of harness rings can winkle it open. Long answer -- but I hope it's sufficiently clear! I'll keep an eye on your leashes and see if your designers agree with me. Hello, Peter!

We're always looking for input to improve our products.
