Getting flexi leashes, or what we know as retractable leashes, is the best idea especially if you want your pet to explore freely while still being connected to you. However, what other people don’t tell you is that these leashes have a higher chance of causing trouble than giving your dog enough freedom to explore. Leashes that are retractable can bring injury to bother dogs and humans. The retractable part of the leash only teaches dogs that leash pulling is okay which is the main reason why accidents happen. Below are the disadvantages of using retractable leashes:
- The bulkiness can cause discomfort when holding the handles
- It will be hard to use them as tethers when you need to secure your pet dog to a tree or post.
- When there is a sudden pressure, the leash cords can break since they are not durable enough.
- The cords are easily chewed through.
- The cords have a high chance of getting wrapped around people’s legs and trips both the dog and human.
Call your veterinary clinic Tampa FL to make sure that your pet’s preventatives and vaccinations are up to date before taking your pet on outdoor excursions.
