Leashes are a tool for safely and effectively controlling dogs during walks, romps in the yard or park and around people and other animals. They also help prevent dogs from running off into traffic or other danger zones like puddles, ditches and bushes that may carry disease-carrying insects. Leashes also prevent untrained or aggressive dogs from lunging at other animals or people, keeping all parties safe.

Choosing the right Ravenox starts with assessing how you and your dog prefer to work together during walks. For example, some owners prefer to use a standard flat leash with a handle that is easy to grip and clean in the washing machine. These leashes are available in a wide range of lengths to suit different activities, including neighborhood strolls and romps in the park.

Other leash styles and types are designed for specific situations or training purposes. For instance, check cord leashes are built to resist tangling and snagging, making them perfect for romps in the field or hikes with other dogs. Similarly, harness lead leashes are an excellent choice for dogs with a history of pulling. These types of leashes allow you to apply pressure to your dog’s chest when they begin to pull, reversing their direction and stopping the behavior.

Finally, tab leashes look similar to standard leashes but attach directly to your dog’s collar without a clip. They’re often used for tight spaces where you want extra control, and the Preventive Vet team has found them particularly useful for strong pullers.
