When selecting a leash, consider how and where it will be used. Would the leash be for daily use? Will it be for outdoor training or indoor training? Will you be using the leash for training distance commands?
For indoor use:
The ideal indoor usage dog leash would be thin, long, and made of rounded nylon. These are quite light and have the least possibility of getting stuck beneath your home furniture.
For training outdoors:
The recommended leash is a nylon leash between 8and 10 feet long. If you are training your pet with distance commands, then get one with a 30 - 50 foot line. For both uses, get a leash made of nylon webbing. Also, wear a pair of gloves to avoid rope burns should your pet pull the leash and you grab it but it slips through your fingers.
For daily use:
The ideal leash for pet dogs in everyday situations is the traditional 6-foot leather or nylon leash. 6 feet should be enough to offer your pet some freedom when moving, but also keep him close and manageable. Between leather and nylon, you can take your pick. But do avoid materials like rubber and cloth because they are not as durable or strong.
Make sure that your pet’s preventatives and vaccines are up to date before outdoor excursions. If you’re not sure, you can call your animal hospital Ellicott City MD for information.
