Standard 1 Flexi Dog Leash Cord Replacement

Introducción

Dog leashes are typically thrown away once parts such as the cord are worn out after extended use. However, it is possible to replace the cord instead of throwing the entire leash away. This guide illustrates how to replace the cord of a Standard 1 Flexi Dog Leash. Since guides to replace the cord of a dog leash are scarce, this repair is helpful to explain this rather unknown procedure.

Note: This fix is meant for dog leashes catered towards smaller to medium sized dogs (less than 46 Ibs).
