Dog Leashe : What is it?

DogLeashes1

A dog leash is a rope attached to the collar or harness of a dog to control or restrain it. It is used to prevent a dog from getting lost, frightening or biting other people, causing traffic and damage to property, and from urinating and defecating in inappropriate places.  It is also used during dog training as a method of communication.

Kinds of Dog Leashes include the following:

Retractable dog leash

  • A retractable dog leash is a very long rope coiled in a case.
  • It uses a retracting mechanism to lengthen or shorten the leash.
  • It has a switch for locking or unlocking the leash.
  • It allows dogs more freedom to roam around.


Leather dog leash


  • A leather dog leash is one of the most commonly used dog leashes.
  • It has a length of six feet, enough length for the dog to roam around and for the owner to control it.


Bungee dog leash

  • A bungee dog leash maintains tension through its length, causing the arm holding it to be jerked less.
  • It takes up the slack when stretched.
  • It is less likely to trip the dog.


Hands-free dog leash

  • A hands-free dog leash is strapped around the owner's waist or connected to a belt or backpack.
  • It is ideal for owners who like to hike or jog with their dogs.

Choosing Dog Leashes (Buying Tips)

Length:  Choose a dog leash with a length according to how much control you want to have and the behavior of your dog.  A shorter dog leash is recommended for training and competitions, while a standard six-feet leash is suited for daily walking.
