Dog Owners must appreciate the significance of keeping their dog on a leash. A leash not only protects others from your dog a leash also protects your dog from the threats of the outside world.
Regardless of what breed of dog you own, an unsupervised pet can get in trouble. Most pet owners treat their pets like children, and just like a young child should not be outside without boundaries, neither should a dog.
There are numerous distractions outdoors that will tempt a dog to leave the yard. The roar of large trucks and motorcycles can cause a constant barking, and often times they will chase after the vehicle. This causes a distraction to the driver as well as danger to your dog.
Many other diversions occur that may cause your dog to leave its boundaries are wildlife. Birds, chipmunks, rabbits or deer can make an otherwise obedient canine to desert their manners and chase the taunting animal. Take your eye off your dog for only a moment and they could be gone. If they return unharmed, they may return having rolled in something with a bad odor. If it so happens your dog escapes on garbage day your neighbors might have quite a mess to clean up.
As you can see, allowing your dog to freely roam the neighborhood can annoy your neighbors, especially if your dog makes a habit of relieving themselves or dig on their lawn. Often times a dog will attempt to play with neighboring children but the young child sees the dog as aggressive and a chase develops. Even though the dog is playing, the child does not see it as such and may get hurt as they try to run away from the dog.
Even if your dog is not typically aggressive, when a stranger approaches to read a dog tag or a young child attempts to give it a hug the dog may get defensive and attempt to nip or bite. This is a shocking situation for both parties: the injured, the owner and the confused dog. Even though accidents happen, the dog owner is responsible.
The best option for a dog to run leash free is a fenced yard. Dog owners who have no yard or just don’t have a fence, try a Dog Park. Dog Parks are an ideal location for dogs to play, exercise and socialize with other dogs. Many cities have Dog Parks now days. To find a Dog Park in your area, get in touch with your municipality or ask your local veterinarian.
Taking care of your pet is a large responsibility. Dogs must be supervised at all times to keep them safe. A dog on a leash is a simple solution to keep your dog out of harm’s way
Dog Leashes come in many sizes and styles. For those who live in the city, 4 foot leashes are great; hands free dog leashes are ideal when exercising with your dog, couplers are made for walking multiple dogs; retractable leashes present your dog with a little more freedom; and a 6 foot leash is usually sold in one inch and 5/8 widths and will hold most dogs.
Even though playing with your dog unrestrained is pleasurable, dog owners must understand the concequences of not leashing their dogs when appropriate. Joanne recommends keeping your dog safe by visiting Jakes Dog House for dog leashes of various designs and sizes.
