  • 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! :-)

    I really love the dog GPS, but I don't buy any yet for my Basenji. I hope I must buy it soon. I buy a 1.6M fashion dog collars for three months, which I buy from [URL removed]

    @Nemo: Maybe if you look for "ribbon" instead of fabric? In some cases they use ribbon on these collars. Excellent suggestion, I found exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

    @wizard: A lot of people have been protesting against genetically engirneered crops - where's the protest against genetically engineered pets? A little different. People don't (hopefully) eat the genetically engineered pets.:D All kidding aside, IMHO, I do not think that GMO crops should be allowed in the food chain… Back on topic though...I sent this link to a friend of mine (has a LOT of money) telling her she needed the $27,000 cat. :D:D
