Dog Tie line material. (1 Viewer)

[Spawn_e_git]

Hi I have this item to tie our 5 month lab up outside.

Amazon product ASIN B004W5UNFG
It works OK but a couple of days ago the kid was out and the dog got excited and the line was pulled round his leg. The line plastic coated bowden cable which is smooth.
Wife now wants to look at another type of line but if this cable is smooth I cannot think of and other material that would be as bad if not wose.
Any ideas on another line option?

That's what we have used for some time now for 2 dogs over the years. The only other way is to pen it in with like a Jormax windbreak or put in a cage outside. You soon get used to when to move your legs and the dog works it out after awhile.

We use an extendable lead, the flat tape type, not the thin wire type which can cause horrendous injuries if wrapped round a leg.

You’ll need a strong cable to keep a lab contained. They and us do get used to the length of cable and avoid getting caught up in the cross fire.

I have had the same problem in the past.

Can you make a running line, attached/pegged down at both ends, with the lead running along it?

Any rope or wire plastic covered or not can cause a burn, as stated above a running line with a short (let’s say 2 metre) lead coming off it will greatly lessen the chances of a burn.

Captain we're going to need a bigger tether is the first thing that comes to my mind, imagine if that spike had come out (it will) and whizzed past that foot.....

Ours are ONLY now connected to the van as we've had too many pulled up over the years. We just use the dog leads they are attached to, double length leads with triggers either end, still a fail point but we change them every once in a while. You'll find if you keep them short and close to the van that accidents like this will be largely avoided.

Hope that foot heals fast.

We use a Web strap about 1" wide that I believe is for guiding horses. Cheap enough off amazon

We have biothane long leads for this reason, they don't cut in to your legs if our boys round us up

That's is very similar to the horse leading lead that we use except its only 3m long

Yes, this is what I've done now and I think this is a better solution. Just need a lead Madam won't chew through in 20 mins.

Any idea, don't want a metal chain. Seen some rope type leads that might work.
