Currently, civilized dog keeping is advocated. When you go out to walk your dog, you always wear a leash. This not only ensures the safety of other people and animals, but also prevents your dog from getting lost. There are too many choices of traction ropes on the market. What kind of traction rope is suitable for your dog? Below, I will introduce in detail the common traction ropes on the market.

Collar

Collars are made of leather, nylon, or iron. Choose a collar of appropriate length based on the width of the dog's neck. The collar should be comfortable for the dog after wearing it, and the collar should not pinch the fur. The collar should not be fastened too tightly, and two fingers should be able to be easily inserted after the collar is fastened. Puppies should take off their collars when left unattended to avoid suffocation from being caught on other things. It is best not to wear a collar for long-haired dogs for a long time to avoid the hair on the neck being compacted, losing its original richness and affecting its beauty.

Chest-and-back dog leash

The chest-and-back dog leash is designed to be more user-friendly and prevents the dog from slipping out of the collar. It is also the most common type and the most used type by dog ​​owners. Its chest-and-back design also makes it easier for the owner to control the dog. Therefore, the harness type dog leash is a dog leash suitable for all dogs.
Short leash
Generally used in conjunction with a collar or a harness-type dog leash, allowing the dog to walk beside it and allowing better control of the dog. It is more suitable for some large dogs and dogs with bad tempers, but it also requires the owner to have very good control over the dog and not be led around by the dog.

Iron chain (P chain)

P chain comes in different thicknesses, and you can choose the one that suits your dog’s body shape. , when using a P-shaped chain, the most important thing is to wear it correctly. If the person is on the right and the dog is on the left, when helping the dog to wear it, the chain must be in a "p" shape, so that the direction of the force is correct; if it is in a "mouth" shape, the direction is completely Wrong. If you pull it, the dog's neck will be restrained. Improper use may even injure the dog's trachea. Of course, if the person is on the left and the dog is on the right, they should be worn backwards in a "q" shape. In order to use the chain, in addition to the correct direction of the chain and the correct position of the dog, you must also always pay attention to the lubrication of the chain, otherwise it is easy to hurt the dog.

Telescopic leash

This is the legendary semi-control collar, which is actually a collar and a P chain. A combination. Control strength and comfort are also somewhere in between. Choose a collar that suits your dog based on its characteristics. The retractable leash is divided into large, medium and small dogs.The handle is ergonomic and just right to hold. There is a control button to decide whether to put a longer cord, and a function to automatically retract the cord. The key point of the invention of this product is the strong nylon rope, which is thin and resistant to pulling. The quality of the telescopic leash also depends on this key. The key points when purchasing are based on the extension length you need and the weight of the dog breed you can bear.

4. Stand the dog’s two forelimbs in the holes as shown in the picture below.
