Shipping is free if you have Prime, as OP mentioned.

Any decent dog trainer or veterinarian will advise to never use retractable leashes. They can cause all kinds of problems, plus the dog never learns to heel.

That list leaves out one of the most important reasons: You might not have locked the lead as you thought or it malfunctioned, and the dog decides to chase a cat or ball into the street with oncoming traffic.

Probably why they are clearing them out. No one should use these

No, that is not the reason, if it is, then all retractable leashes would be on sale.

Please don't use a retractable leash. They are terrible.

For our one dog we use a retractable leash. It's great and have no issues with it. She is a smart dog, doesn't chase animals when on her leash (literally could careless about cats and squirrels while being walked), knows to stop when a car is coming. But she does like to walk ahead and sniff. The retractable leash allows her to walk and then I can catch up once she stopped to sniff something.

Maybe it is a problem for some dogs, but it does work really well for our one dog. The other one, not so much, she stays on a regular leash.

On a side note, retractable dog leashes make for great anchor trolley for kayak fishing. Picking one up specifically for that.

I just saw a guy using one on my street the other day, walking along while the dog peed on everyone's bushes. Probably the one who's poop I see around too. I know of a dog who jumped into a busy street and was killed because the owner wasn't paying attention.

Works well for my dog as well. I am fine with her exploring a bit ahead of me. I am always vigilant and have been using them for literally decades with no issues or near misses.Though that said, I can see why experts recommend not using them, their points are all valid. My next dog if she is not a rescue, I will use a proper leash from a puppy.

Retractable leash can be used as a normal leash. All you need is to press the button on top.

Once you are used to the operation, these are fine. Competence goes a long way.

I keep them locked and close but I live in the woods. If a dog wants to have some privacy, I let them loose to walk to places I don't feel like walking. Then right back to short leash.

Wanna poop in the briar patch? Go right ahead, ya little maniac.

I'm not familiar with this brand, but most have a light touch on the lock that makes (and "feels") a ratcheting sound without locking-up, before pressing all the way. That gives the dog a moment to realise they are approaching the, uh... end of, you know... the leash.
