	Tips To Buy A Leash For Your Dog

Flat leather or nylon webbing that is at least ½ inch wide is the best leash for your dog. You may have to visit various pet stores and department stores for getting the best leash. Stay away from fancy and useless plastic leashes, thin leather ones and chains.

A very thin leash of any material can cut into your palm if you try to use it forcefully. It should be made from good leather or solid webbing, and should consist of a loop that will allow your hand to pass through and sewed firmly at the other end of the snap.

It is important to check out the snap as well. They come in two types: one has a sliding rod beside snap held together snugly by the spring and the other one has 2 curved metal hooks that slide next to each other to provide for a secure catch for the collar ring. Do not buy jazzy snaps that open at the tip and are fastened with a spring.

The optimum length of the leash is 6 feet irrespective of your or your dog’s size. Certain city regulations expect you to leash your dog in public while you are outdoors and the maximum length of the leash is 6 feet. Do not buy longer leash as it might entangle both you and the animal. The longer leashes should be used only for tracking where they are a necessity.

The new retractable leashes are excellent for small to medium dogs. The nylon lead can be rolled up and put in a casing that you can carry. All the major brands are 6 foot long and come with a button braking and locking mechanism. But the most important qualities that you should look for are good quality and strength.
