Specialized dog
leashes and collars - which is best for your pet?
Shopping for dog leashes and collars is no more simply a matter of
color. You will find there are now dog leashes and collars for specific
breeds, people with multiple dogs, and different temperaments.
Dogs who pull can often benefit from two
dog leashes. Traditional collars can easily injure the necks of these
dogs. Try a harness with a clip on each side. Hook a leash to each
clip, and you'll be amazed how little he pulls when he's more properly
balanced.
Another option for
dogs who pull is to use two dog leashes hooked to a regular harness and
collar. This will put less pressure on collars (and necks). He will be
much more easily guided without feeling the need to fight you.
Make walks easier
with dog leashes and collars that discourage pulling.
If you walk two dogs
at the same time, you can use one leash if you prefer. Couplers hook
collars together and allow dog leashes to attach between them. This
frees up one of your hands and keeps your pair together on a walk.
When in doubt,
always get longer dog leashes. Whether using collars or harnesses, a
long leash will fit more needs. You can (and should) wrap the loop end
several times around your hand. A short and retractable collar jerks
dogs too much and gives them reason to pull against you.
Whichever dog
leashes and collars you choose, consider having them personalized with
your name and phone number. For a minimal charge, it's an extra
safeguard in case he gets away, leash and all.
