Lixit Bracket Mount and Stake Retractable Leash Tie Outs for Dogs (Stake, Large)

I wanted my dog to be able to hang out in the front yard with us and run around. This was the perfect solution! It’s sturdy and the spike is deep enough that it doesn’t pull out at all or even lean. It rotates around so he can move easily and the flexible length is great.

This is an excellent product for small dogs. Description is perfect.

Bought two of these to stick under the camper van to tie up the 70 lb dog. She obeys the leash and doesn't yank but I could see stronger dogs damaging the bracket or the small spindle that attaches it to the bracket.My biggest issue, my dog hates it too, is that the return on the spring (coil) is STRONG. Causes the leash to remain tight and pull on the collar. The rubber stopper isn't up to the task of keeping the lead from retracting.I end up clamping the lead fully extended so it's not much different at this point than a carabiner attached to some wire. I was hoping the retracting feature would help with the dog tangling itself up, but I don't get to use that.

The Lixit Bracket Mount and Stake Retractable Leash Tie Out (Medium) is a real handy tool for us dog owners down here. It gives our pups room to roam while keepin' 'em safe and sound within their boundaries. The retractable feature is a nice touch, makin' it easy to adjust as needed. Installing it was a breeze, and it's built sturdy enough to handle our playful dogs without a hitch. Overall, it's a reliable choice for keepin' our furry friends safe during outdoor adventures. Highly recommended, y'all!

I bought two of these for my puppies to use in our unfenced yard, so they could be outside with me while I'm doing yardwork. (I have a 15 year old one made by Flexi that still works, but only one, and the spring in the retractable mechanism was too strong for my puppies when they were small.) These looked nice and went into the ground just as described in the instructions. Because of our rainy fall and winter, I didn't use either one right away. I attached dog #1, she walked out the length of the cable; but when she came back to me, the cable didn't retract - at all. In testing the other one, before attaching dog #2, I was dismayed that it only retracted 2-3 feet of its 20 foot length - no more. So I pulled them out of the ground (red flag #2? if this older-than-dirt old lady can pull it out of the ground with my bare hands, could my 53 lb. dog, who can yank me off my feet for a squirrel, do the same?), and soaked them overnight in lubricant. It made no difference at all. Imagine - a product created for use in the outdoors that can't withstand the outdoors. Of course these were out of warranty, so I contacted the manufacturer to see if there was a way I could repair them. Not only do they strictly stick to their warranty period, I was told these can't be taken apart to be repaired. I wish the Flexi company still made theirs, because these are nothing more than expensive scrap metal.

I purchased this in July and loved it! It was super efficient and kept the leash tidy outside. However, fast forward 6 months later - the leash stopped retracting! I tried going thru Amazon to get replacement but of course they were useless and referred me to the manufacturer since it was past the 30 day refund window. To be clear, I wasn’t asking for a refund but rather a replacement. I tried calling and reaching out to the manufacturer and no response. They don’t answer the phone and prompt you to leave a message. I left a message over a week ago and still haven’t heard back.

Our big boys (100lb ea) love having the freedom to check out the surroundings. They’re only on a lead when we travel and always supervised but I can attest to the durability as they have attempted to do some squirrel chasing! I love that I can put them, I have two tie outs, just far enough apart that the boys can lay close to each other but not get tangled up.

I am super happy with this product. I want to make sure to mention I used this product once on a camping trip to Joshua Tree. I didn't to worry about my dog since that Park is not very dog friendly and dogs must be on leash at all times. I followed the recommendations to attach the retractable cable to his usual walking leash and worked very well. He could just relax without the constant pull. My dog is a 4 month old - 40 pounds husky and wasn't bothered by the pull and had no difficulties walking around it. We also used it with his no-pull walking harnest that clips of the front - cause you know, huskies love to pull. He didn't try much to escape it though, even when he heard coyotes on a distance. I was impressed by how it took the desert ground. Our tent pegs bent but this did a great job going through the rocky ground and all the banging it took. My girlfriend attached Velcro to the rubber protector and to it so we wouldn't lose it cause otherwise you will break it trying to hammer it on to the ground. Since my intent is using it during camping I want to find a solution to prevent us from tripping on it. We put a glow stick on his collar so we could see him and one at the pole. We knew to watch for both but people that was not aware of the cable would definitely trip on the stretched cable. But I am very happy with it. I hope it holds like this for several uses
