Slow Pull Retractable Leash Update: Just a note to let you know that I just got off the phone with the inventor and he advised that their new release date will not be until sometime around the first quarter of the new year. The leash now has several different prototypes and he has tested a few. As he was very happy with what he experienced with his dog, Everyday Edison's (developer's) are still working on every aspect of safety for both you and your pet. As with other retractable leashes that have caused over 16,000 people to be injured due to bad design. He advised that it will be a fantastic addition to pet leashes but they want it to be a safe one. Will keep you informed as I hear more.

Dangers of the Retractable Dog Leashes

The new Slow Pull Retractable Leash is coming this fall. Created by inventor Brian Smith. This has been created due to his own injuries received from a retractable dog leash. The Slow Pull Retractable Leashes will be available for purchase from Doggies Unlimited @ www.doggiesunlimited.com, Life's Healthy Pet Food @ www.lifeshealthypetfood.com and Slow Pull Retractable Leashes @ www.slowpullretractableleashes.com. Email us at slowpullretractablesleashes@aol.com to receive updates as we receive them. Most people are not aware of the dangers of retractable leashes, until they suffer an injury to themselves or their pet. Retractable leashes are great if you have an extremely well trained dog that does not want to take off on you. Usually it works well on an older dog who has no need to make sudden unpredictable lunges in different directions. It is fine for dogs that just want to meander around at a distance for it’s own business. Of course owners that use these leashes need to be careful.. Many owners think that their puppy needs a retractable so it can run more and get more energy out, but puppies have high energy and they want to run circles around other dogs on meeting or chase after birds and rabbits. Retractables teach puppies that they can do what they want and eventually when the puppy is full grown the retractable has trained him to be wild and out of control; now you have a problem because it was fine when the puppy weighed 10 pounds but now you have a 70-80 pound dog that has learned it can run full speed ahead of you on a long retractable leash. These leashes can cause major injuries. Here is a real life scenario; A child is standing on a hill playing a little way from her mom… she is playing with her own dog when suddenly another dog who is walking with his owner sees that dog and is on a retractable leash. The dog is very friendly and loves everyone, so the owner lets the dog go a long distance on the leash to say hello to the other little dog. Suddenly he gets really excited and begins to run around. Now the child is caught in the middle and the owner has no control. He can see the child is now wrapped in this leash and has no way to stop his dog from this play so he lets go of the leash , but the leash with it’s hard handle snaps around the child causing major rope burns to the child’s legs. The child then falls and rolls down the hill and breaks her arm. Sure if you are walking on a retractable you can lock the leash, but I myself have had the lock not work just at a time when I needed it to. These leashes can also cause major injury to your dog if your dog runs full speed to the end of the retractable; he can break or injure his neck, and perhaps yank you off your feet while his at it.In many cases retractable leashes are a danger. For example dogs can run so far ahead they wind up turning a corner out of sight.. They can run into the street and get hit by a car because your leash didn’t lock when you wanted it to.The rope on the retractable can amputate an adults fingers or seriously hurt a child’s neck if they are caught in the middle. Of course there are people that use them wisely but most responsible dog owners do not use retractables as they are aware of the the dangers and choose to use a safer leash. Speaking from my own experience on many occasions I myself have been injured by retractables and have seen others have many problems, as well as the stories that have come to me from other dog owners. So I say, If you are going to use them, then make sure you are using them wisely. All retractable leashes come with a long list of warnings. Below are just a few of the top brands warnings that are posted on their websites: • Risk of eye or face injury, cuts, burns, and amputations to your body or the body of another person from these leashes.. • Do not use this leash with a disobedient or uncontrollable dog, since they are more likely to wrap the cord/tape/belt around people or to run off at high speeds. • Only use this leash with a dog that does not exceed the weight limit listed on the leash. • Leashes for larger dogs have a tape or belt instead of a cord to reduce the risk of amputations and cuts. • Even small dogs can pull hard enough to injure you, particularly because the length of the leash allows dogs to run and build up speed. Follow all of these precautions even with a small dog. The list goes on and on……….. by Sheri Grant Editor of The OC Dog Magazine

Everyday Edison's, Brian Smith & LIfe's Abundance Team Up with the new Slow Pull Retractable Leash

Turning Average Joes into the Next "Big Thing"

Facebook—you could have thought of that, right? What about something simpler like the Snuggie? Who hasn’t seen a product or an idea and kicked themselves for not acting on their own inner inventor? Founder and CEO of Enventys Louis Foreman says the average person often lacks the drive and insight it takes to get their innovations from the idea phase into physical form to pitch. “Eighty-percent of the working population is risk averse,” Foreman said. “Life gets in the way. We don’t have the time or resources to do it. But rather than just sitting on our great ideas, why not see if there’s value?” Foreman is the executive producer of “Everyday Edisons,” which has won two Emmys and is in its’ fourth season this year. The show leads those with "great ideas" into the product development phase. Louis Foreman, CEO of Edison Nation, said he started the show in 2005 for those who had inventions in their brain but didn’t know how to follow through on them. “They either don’t have the resources or don’t understand the process,” Foreman said. “They don’t want to cash in their 401k to create their product. Each season we look at thousands of ideas and take the ten best from their ‘A-ha!’ moment to their product development moment on the show.” “Everyday Edisons” has developed more than 35 products worth over $175 million, including the ‘As-Seen on T.V.’ offerings, Gyro Bowl, Eggies and EmeryCat. Revenue doubled in 2011 and this year the show will launch up to 15 more products. Building off the show’s model, in 2008 Foreman launched Edison Nation, an online community that he says essentially does what the show does for inventors who sign up to the Website. As investors, Foreman’s firm has an annuity on sales for the life of the products they help launch. "People post online confidentially, and we filter and take ideas back through our company and present them to large consumer manufacturers like Wal-mart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Proctor and Gamble, and Mattel. We find out what they are looking for,” he said. If the manufacturers take the bait, they will license the product and Edison Nation will split the royalties with inventors fifty-fifty, Foreman said. The upside, he said, is that the firm takes on the full cost to help the average Joe develop their idea and even creates the prototype to present to the large corporations, which can cost up to $10,000 for budding inventors. And, if the invention is not successful, the creator has it back, with no charge. Foreman said in the past year Edison Nation has connected 80 successful inventions and their creators with large corporations to develop their products. Foreman said the Edison Nation format also saves inventors from investing tons of cash in a project that’s going nowhere fast. “The average inventor doesn’t determine product feasibility before investing capital,” he said, “They assume everyone suffers from their same problems and seek validation from family and friends before figuring out if their idea is a problem or a solution.” Eventys is also currently working on a pilot program for veterans who want to get into business but lack their ‘great idea.’ The company will connect ideas from Edison Nation and their inventors with a veteran who suits their profile, and invest its own capital to“de-risk” the idea. Enventys will also mentor the veteran throughout the creation process. Right now, Foreman said the company is working with the Charlotte, N.C., Chamber of Commerce to find three-to-five veterans who want to get into the entrepreneurship game. “Veterans are less risk averse, and more likely to do it,” he said. “I believe what is truly holding these vets back is that original idea. In short of opening a Quiznos, we thought, ‘why not match these great ideas with veterans who can mobilize them?’” Foreman said he hopes to roll out the project within the next year.

Dog Leash Dangers: Blindness, Amputations Blamed on Retractable Leashes

The New and Amazing Slow Pull Retractable Leash is coming soon!!!! By SARAH NETTER March 12, 2009 It was a shocking sight for a mother -- a piece of metal sticking out of her 12-year-old's eye. That's what Joy Williams saw after her daughter Dereka was injured last year when a retractable dog leash broke and the metal clasp snapped her in the face. "She was like, 'Mom, I can't see! I can't see!'" Williams told ABCNews.com. The family is now suing Worldwise, Inc., the maker of the SlyDog retractable leash, and Dollar General, the store where they bought it, both to help pay for their daughter's medical expenses and highlight the danger of these types of dog leashes. Horror stories of injuries, even amputations, caused by retractable dog leashes have circulated on dog owner boards and forums for years, leading some owners to stop using them. The leashes typically feature a plastic handle with a locking mechanism that allows owners to control how far their dogs can roam. They're usually made from cord or ribbon-type material that has been blamed for severing fingers as well as burning or lacerating the skin of both dogs and humans who have the unfortunate misstep of getting tangled in them. Dog Leash ABC News A Recall, but Too Late? Worldwise recalled the SlyDog leash in September, nearly five months after Dereka's accident, saying the metal clasp was known to have bent or broken while in use. But the Williams' Dallas-based attorney, Stephen Drinnon, said the company should have done a better job designing the leash and notified consumers about the dangers of their products. Injuries reported from the SlyDog leash include facial cuts, broken teeth, eye injuries and a broken collarbone, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's recall notice. The notice said there were about 223,000 units of the China-manufactured product, which was sold in Dollar General stores for about $5. "I will never use another retractable leash," Derrick Williams, Dereka's father, told ABCNews.com Dereka, now 13, was walking home from a park near her Arlington, Texas, home in April when her 25-pound pitbull puppy Diamond pulled on the leash, snapping it. It was the first time she had used the leash. "It hurt," Dereka said. "I didn't know what happened at first." She immediately lost vision in that eye and was rushed to the emergency room, where she underwent the first of three surgeries to repair the damage. The vision in her left eye is now "better," Derrick Williams said, but she will likely have permanent damage. A Slow Recovery After missing the rest of her sixth-grade year, Dereka is seeing a retinal specialist and wears bi-focals. She faces more possible surgeries. "Now when I play sports I have to wear this protection shield so nothing else hits me in the eye," she said, adding that she plays volleyball and basketball and runs track. While her grades were high enough to pass her into the seventh grade despite her missed classes, Dereka missed out on the opportunity to try for acceptance into advanced placement courses. "She was really an outgoing girl. Now she doesn't want to be the freak, if you know what I mean," Drinnon said. The Williamses are seeking unspecified damages from the two companies. "They figured a lawsuit was the proper thing to do to hold the company responsible," Drinnon said. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=7058784&page=1#.T7rImb_l6KM

Slow Pull Retractable Leash by Life's Abundance - Finally !!

It's about time! A Slow Pull Retractable Leash !! Have you ever had a dog walk you as the neighbors watch and enjoy the view. Well I have. My Golden Retriever would actually pull me down the street as we walked everyday. I am happy to find out that there is a new leash now in development by Life's Abundance that will protect you and your dog from injuries when their retractable leash spins out of control until the cord comes to and end. Well if you have had the same experience that I have had with a big dog on daily walks you will also be glad to hear about this new amazing leash. The Slow Pull Retractable Leash is designed to instantly increase resistance in proportion to the dog force. When attempting to walk my Golden the cord in his retractable leash would spin out so fast that I wasn't able to stop him fast enough or to put the brake on fast enough to slow him down. Hearing that this leash will pull out slower and give me control of my dog rather than the dog controlling me was such exciting news. This new leash is way over due! The way it is designed I am sure there will be a lot less injuries as I am not surprised that I didn't have injuries to my shoulder, wrist or hand or major injuries to my dog. It truly was a chore trying to teach my hyper Golden to walk with attitude instead of racing to see how fast he could take off as if in a race as the neighbors looked on as they sipped their glass of wine. This Slow Pull Retractable Leash being developed is the best thing to happen to the daily activity of "Walking The Dog" instead of "Dog Walking the People" Life's Abundance Slow Pull Retractable Leash will be coming soon to Doggies Unlimited @ www.doggiesunlimited.com and Life's Healthy Pet Food @ www.lifeshealthypetfood.com and slowpullretractableleashes.com or email us at slowpullretractableleashes@aol.com if you would like to be put on our list for updates.
