Introduction
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).

If the leash repeatedly gets jammed, the new cord getting tangled up inside is the most likely cause. It is best to reopen the leash and untangle the cord, before considering whether a cord different from the guide would suit your leash better.
