Or stinging nettles!! The one I have for my pet Poodle is like tape, the stuff tape measures are made of, or more accurately, like a cross between that and a nylon leash, but much narrower than that. It’s very strong I think and I don’t think it can knot as easily as the string type, which I have had in the past. Mel.

Luckily, it's very good at tucking itself back in when it's not fully stretched. Only thing to watch is don't get it caught in the undergrowth! You could spend all day untangling it from thistles!
