Beach "Leash"

    @BasenjiByTheBay:

    Basenji staying tied to anything vs chewing neatly through any leash ever invented…less likely, in my experience.

    LOL - so true! mine's done it to numerous leashes! in the blink of an eye too…

    As for the leashes

    Lupinepet.com

    1-800-228-WOLF

    These people sell collars and leashes that are gaurenteed for life. If the pup chews it you get a new one no questions asked. Not even that much more expensive ours were

    $12 - collar
    $15 - leash

    There is an actual leash that comes with a "bolt" like thing that gets buried in the sand - I've been trying to find it online for you but with no luck. But honestly, we tried it and it didn't really help - Seti just got super frustrated because he wanted to run. I highly recommend going to a dog friendly beach that allows them off-leash, such as Huntington Beach. We've also found a couple of spots just past the Ventura County line that seems to allow dogs off-leash.

    p.s. I'm almost certain we got our "beach leash" at Petco.

    They will replace them, but our main chewer can still get through one in under 30 seconds if you do not watch her at all times. Even then, when we walk her, she always will reach back and chew hers or the others leashes any chance she can get. Putting Bitter Apple on helps for a while, but by the end of the walk, she will start chewing anyway. We have had 2 replaced so far, so they are true to their word.

    I wouldn't feel comfortable with buring something in the sand cuz i think any B would have no problem pulling it out of the sand I know they do sell a Leash that goes around ur waist i believe it comes in 6ft long but u could always clip a longer one on it .

    I usually take a caribeaner and attach it to the end of the leash, and hook it to my ankle (if sitting), belt loop, backpack, etc… not as good as what you had in mind but it works

    we took olimar to the beach a couple days ago.
    he didn't like the water too much :/

    he was eating the sand though… we went to waikiki where theres a lot of tourist. perhaps if we go to a more secluded beach he'll like it a bit more.

    Tazlab has a leash that you can put around your waist, we have two of them.

    I used one of those giant 'corkscrew' tie-outs at the beach and had 3 attached to it. I put it as deep in the sand as I could get it and it didn't budge…of course the sand was packed, rather than 'fluffy'. Be sure and provide an umbrella for shade, they get hot and like to go in and out of shade. Mine don't like the water, but do enjoy the beach!

    @malik said in Any leash training tips?: so she isn't able to sniff around where I can't see. Honestly, "doodle's" nose is becoming legendary. I'll think she's smelling the bush (or urine on it) and she'll come out with a bagel in her mouth! (yes, this actually happened!) I have learned that she can find all manner of things that are clearly obvious to her nose and undetectable to my eyes. If your pup is intent on what she's smelling, there's a reason for it.

    Can she see you from her bed? Try raising her crate up so she can see you and give her something old that smells like you….she is so young to have left her littermates, she will need extra reassurance! Hope you get a good nights sleep soon!

    quick note- I don't feed raw; i feed a grain free commercial dog food (there are now quite a few on the market) and have been very happy. I do feed some cooked muttloaf (http://www.maryshouse.us/Recipes.htm) with the evening meal.

    We were very selective with the places we let Maxx off lead. We own acreage south of Phoenix, Arizona that is 5 miles from any main road, and requires traveling nothing much more than a goat trail for the last mile or two. We used to go out there and let Maxx off lead. He was very good about staying close…he'd stop occasionally and look around to make sure he could still see us. He was also good about coming back to us when we called him. We found another place on the Oregon Coast where there as a very deep beach far from a road, and since it was after Labor Day, the beach was empty of people. He had a ball chasing sea gulls...that is, until he finally figured out he'd never be able to catch any! Again, he was good about coming back when called.

    @tanza: I know people that have tried it (the spray) it doesn't work unless by accident… and you know, you need to stand in the rain with Dallas...:p Been there done that with many a puppy Oh believe me, I was soaked! I was standing right in the rain (during the most downpour of course) in the middle of the grassy area he goes in but he just would NOT go! I even kept bribing him with treats to stay in the grass & go but he kept trying to back out of his collar to get his paws on the concrete vs. in the wet grass. I know when the sprinklers go off it's a bit more a challenge to get him to go in the grass but he manages. This is actually the first time he's been out when it's still be raining down.
