A must-have leash for dog walking, how to choose?

"Walking the dog with a leash does not limit its freedom, but gives it more freedom under limited conditions. Although the dog's parents are nearby, the dog looks very good, but there is no guarantee that it will be in the next minute. Still so good. For the sake of others, for yourself, or for the dog, you should put a leash on your dog when you go out. A reasonable choice of leash can reduce the dog's rejection of the leash."

Some dog parents will report that their dog will bite the dog leash, and the leash will be bitten soon. The quality of the rope is not ruled out, but it is more likely that the rope is not selected correctly, and the dog rejects the rope. Dogs want to go out to play, but they don't want you to treat them like this. At this time, you need to see if you haven't done a good job in guiding them, causing the dogs to have a little temper, or making them uncomfortable when pulling them.

1. Classification of traction ropes

There are many styles of traction ropes on the market, and there are different classifications according to different classification standards. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages. According to the actual situation of the dog, choose the leash that is suitable for the dog.

1. According to the style: it is roughly divided into three categories: chest-back type, collar type and P chain type.

Chest strap type leash: The chest strap type lock is located on the back. When the owner is pulling, the focus is more scattered, and the burden on the more naughty dogs is not so great.

Collar type leash: It can increase the owner's control over the dog, but it is easy to cause damage to the dog's neck. The collar can be worn on the dog for a long time, and it can also be used as an ID card for the dog to prevent it from getting lost. However, long-term matching has an impact on the growth of the dog's hair, which is easy to become knotted.

P chain traction rope: simple, easy to release the traction, but compared with the collar type, in addition to the traction properties, there is no identity information to prevent lost.

2. According to the material: it can be roughly divided into leather, chemical fiber or nylon.

Leather material type: The traction rope of leather is more comfortable and durable. The leather collar made of cowhide has a long service life and is close to the dog's skin. After the oil on the dog penetrates into the leather, the leather will be shiny, soft and tough, and the service life will be correspondingly longer.

Nylon type: Nylon traction rope with mesh is strong, soft and relatively cheap.

Chemical fiber material type: various styles, rich color decoration. Less durable than leather, but beautifully priced. If there is no account of tension requirements, chemical fiber materials are a good choice.

3. According to the nature of the traction belt, it can be divided into telescopic type and fixed type.

Fixed type: The length produced by the manufacturer is as many as it is. The owner can only control the distance between the rope and the dog by grasping the position of the rope.

Telescopic type: As the name implies, the length can be controlled, and it can be expanded to the desired length at will, and the general length is controlled within 2 meters.

2. Precautions for selection and use of traction rope

1. Select the appropriate traction rope according to the style, material and the nature of the traction belt.

For small dogs and puppies, it is recommended to choose a leash with a chest strap. The contact surface of the chest strap leash with the dog is larger, and the relative force is dispersed, which will provide better protection for the dog. For medium and large dogs, you can choose the collar type and P chain type. The pressure of the collar tightening will cause the dog's neck to bend naturally, which can be very effective in controlling them.

Medium and large dogs have higher requirements on the material of the leash, and it is generally recommended to choose leather. But it is undeniable that leather also has different qualities. Good quality nylon and chemical fiber are not necessarily worse than leather. Those with a relatively small physique, low requirements on tensile force, and low requirements on materials can choose the ones with reliable quality according to their own preferences.

Want to choose a retractable leash? Due to the large strength of medium and large dogs, it is recommended to purchase a fixed collar leash, which is easier to control when encountering unexpected situations. If the dog is smaller and more obedient, you can choose the retractable leash, and you can control the length of the leash through the button in your hand, but it is not recommended not to exceed 2 meters. The longer the rope, the harder it is for the dog to control.

2. According to the size of the dog, select the corresponding specification.

In addition to the above purchase considerations, the most important thing is to choose the right size according to your dog's body shape. After the dog is in the collar or harness, it is best to have a gap where one finger can be placed in the rope. Excessive size can't stop it, and the dog can easily break free and cause an accident. If the size is too small, too thin and too tight, the dog will be uncomfortable and even have difficulty breathing.

Some dogs have the habit of biting on the leash. Dog parents and dog mothers must guide them in time when they see it. If you let it go for a long time, it will not be a serious problem, but I am afraid that you will have to change it in three or two days. A tow rope. Finally, I remind everyone that dogs should not wear collars for a long time. After a long time, they should untie the collars for dogs and take care of the hair under the collars, so as to prevent the hair on the neck from being compacted, causing the hair around the neck to fall off and lose its original rich feeling. , affect the beauty.
