Might be good to go up a size in leashes, so the clasp is the next size bigger... it may be able to handle the stress better than the size you were using.
Or put two small leashes on her... that way if one breaks you'll have a back up. |
So true!! I am terrified to trust leashes or harnesses or D-rinds....I would be using 2 leashes! When we go to the beach and I DO have a dog on a leash, I pass the leash thru the halter where the strap that goes around the tummy meets the strap on the back, and I pass the end of the leash back up thru the loop handle on the leash, so that I have a slip knot formed by the leash attached around the halter, and I hold the clasp end in my hand.....
