Has anyone ever used a Lazy Leash?

I'm considering getting one of these small pocket-sized leashes for my dog, it attaches to their harness (or collar) so you don't have to worry about bringing a leash with you when you attach their harness it's easy to carry and can use at the dog park, for quick/easy access to getting in and out of cars, etc. Would love to hear people's experiences, specifically with smaller dogs. Thanks!
 
Yes, we've tried the Lazy Leash 2.0 and 3.0 (the only difference from what I could tell is that in the 3.0 Lazy Leash version the button that releases the leash is made of something that's sturdier than plastic, which means the button doesn't get stuck as often).

We used them on our medium-sized (45 lbs) Carolina Brown Dog (Lily) as well as our crazy and feisty 40 lb Mountain Feist (Barley). Barley, strangely enough, went into perfect behavior mode on the Lazy Leash. But we figure it's probably related to the style of leash, the sounds it makes, and how that reminded him of the leash he wore during some discipline training he's had in the past.

As for general functionality of the leash - it works on both dogs and my wife loves it. It's especially helpful with our dog Lily who's friendly and we don't mind letting off to roam now and then. But with Barley, who's a tugger, it's not as ideal since the hand-held device isn't as comfortable as the ones on larger leashes.
 
@Alexa thanks for sharing all the details, and that's impressive you've tried both versions! Our dog is a tugger too so am worried he might be too strong when pulling the little disc might fly out of my hand (he's small but mighty). Glad to hear you've had mostly good experiences with it!
