When you are choosing a leash for your dog, you must know how you plan to use it on your pet. Are you planning to use it every day? Is it for training your dog outdoors or to keep him indoors? Are you shopping for a dog leash to begin command training sessions? Answering these questions would help you make a better choice while shopping for a dog leash.
Purpose of dog leashes
The dog leash is generally used for three purposes and they are discussed below.
Choosing dog leashes
If you have a pet that has the habit of chewing the leash then go for the metal leash to prevent replacing the leash often. These leashes are found in varied lengths, widths and weights to match the size of the pet you own and the age of the dog. If you have a small puppy that belongs to a giant breed then do not choose a heavier one as it can hinder the growth and development of your puppy. You can upgrade to a heavier dog leash later when your puppy grows in to an adult. If you own a bigger dog, determine the pulling power of your dog and then choose the dog leash accordingly to cope up with your pet's strength. This would also prevent the dog from breaking free frequently.
Maintain dog leash
Make sure that you maintain the dog leash well to enjoy durable service even after many years of purchasing it. You can keep the leash clean and try to hang it when it gets wet to maintain it fresh and new. Also check the leash for any signs of damage and check whether the clip is working and secure. You have to replace the dog leash if you find it fraying, tearing or if the clip gets weaker.
