2. When a dog is walking so far from you, you might not have time to react to pull them in if a large dog is going after them or it is to difficult with the wire. Cotton leashes seem to work the best.
3. Coyote bait when they are to far out
Okay now that I have scared you a little more - are you using an harness on him? |
LOL Cindy ! The Coyote bait scared ME
but you're right. I like keeping my girls close by too. I wanted to get a retractable at one time after using my sons. He uses that kind of leash for his weiner boys - I LOVED it for them...but they are
much slower than a yorkie.
Kirby's Dad....I bet you never knew Kirby had a Turbo Charged Butt until this happened -
I can't believe how fast these little guys can run and you were VERY lucky he didn't run into traffic. Poor little guy....I bet your heart was racing and his too.
There's great harnesses out there and I bet he'll feel much better in one. I can't believe he ran right to his house. THAT is a smart little boy.
