  • I can't tell you the horror stories I hear about dogs and tie outs.
    Anywhere from the dog getting off and getting hit, to the dog getting a limb tied up in the cord and losing the blood flow in the leg.
    Bad news IMO.
    I would never recommend them.
    Glad your boy came to you.

    And I know of 2 separate people that had dogs jump off something while on a tie out and hang themselves…so I hear you and also would never recommend using one.

  • I cannot even count the number or leads I have had to replace, although as Seren Jane has gotten older it is with less frequency I have had to do so. The times I have really have to be aware is when I stop and talk with someone on our walks. She becomes impatient and with one bite broken lead and off down the road.

  • Generally, Jack is on his tie out on a nice flat yard, far away from any trees, and I am either outside with him, or watching through the window as I wash dishes. This was just a one time occasion with a retractable leash.

    We also tried tying him out with a clothesline, while we sat nearby having a couple of cold ones, and he almost chewed through that as well! :-)

    @jengosmonkey said in Just saw this article - Popular flea collar reportedly linked to 1,700 pet deaths...: The subcommittee asked the company ... to issue full refunds to customers affected. So, your dog/cat dies from the collar and Congress sets a price on that loss equivalent to the price of the collar? Which is what? $20-30 (USD)? Clearly, our Congressional members are not dog lovers!

    I was not looking just I get email with info every week since I ask if he had ever worked with B's. I happen to see the collar and wanted to know what everyone thought about it. Thank you all for your thoughts. If I was going to get it then it would have been for the Akita. Rita Jean
