The strap is a indispensable accessory for those of us who live or are going to live with a dog. With it, we can walk our dog quietly, avoiding unpleasant situations such as fights with other furry or escapes.
Therefore, I am going to explain to you how to choose my dog's leash, so that in this way you can have a quiet and pleasant time.
In the market you will find several types of straps, but before going on to tell you the characteristics of each of them, I would like to comment something: the walk should be a pleasant experience for both of you, both for your dog and for you. This means that you should not feel stressed or restless, since that is something that is easily transmitted. Thus, the leash must be comfortable, not only for the human, but also and above all for the dog, since in this way we will avoid uncomfortable moments.
That said, now, let's see what types of straps exist:
Conventional strap
These types of straps are the most common. They can be made of nylon or leather fabric. They are very comfortable, since they hardly weigh anything, allowing you to take the dog with complete peace of mind. The only drawback is that if you are very nervous or are in the stage where the final teeth are coming out, you can get used to biting it, but that is easily solved by saying a firm NO every time you see it, and keeping it in a safe place .
Flexible straps
This kind of straps allow the dog some freedom, since they are at least 2m long. The human being who wears it can put the brake on it, located in the handle itself.
Es ideal for small dogs, weighing less than 10kg.
Training straps
The training straps are those that measure at least 2m. As you can see, it has two hooks: one can be for the collar and another for the harness (on the back). In this way, you can keep the dog under control while he is being trained.
It is highly recommended for all dogs, especially for those who tend to pull on the leash.
And you, what strap do you wear?
