I can’t imagine taking Dexter on vacation. I’ve always boarded him. |

Another issue that people sometimes don’t realize might be an issue is that the dog clips at the end of leashes sometimes fail, especially if the dog jumps around a bit. That’s happened to me twice with fosters. One second, the leash was attached to the harness, and the next second the leash was dangling at my side and the (harnessed) dog was loose. Luckily, both times it was with dogs who were somewhat timid and stayed close enough for me to pick them up almost immediately. It was scary enough, though, that I don’t attach leashes to harnesses with the dog clip anymore. I push the leash through the metal loop(s) of the harness, make a slip knot, and then clip the dog clip to a belt loop on my jeans if I want extra security. |
YES, YES, YES!! You must check "equipment" i.e. fasteners, buckles, Velcro every time you're getting ready to take your little one out. Great advice and good reminder!! |

I never had a problem with clips hooked to harness opening put it is a big possibility the older the leash gets. |
I use a snap harness and make sure I hear a click each time I take Dexter outside. I’ve had problems with the leash becoming unhooked on occasion. It’s one that retracts and sometimes it slips out of the ring on the harness |

However, I recently looked for boarding kennels in my area in the event I ever have to be hospitalized for a period of time. I did find one close to my house, thing is, because of the pandemic I cannot see what the inside looks like, they are not allowing ppl inside. I would like to see if it's clean and odor free, I cannot and that makes me uncomfortable. |

That happened to me once. A dog charged us and I had to pick Duchess up and try to keep my back to the charging dog but I think it really wanted to play and was just overzealous. He wasn't growling or anything and his tail was wagging. His owner was able to grab him and when I got a really good look at him, he was just a big old goofy puppy dog. But there is always the threat of big dogs in my neighborhood. I know where every dog lives and all of them are in fenced in yards but you never know if one will ever escape. |

I just took Dexter for a walk and more panting. The problem is which y’all alluded to, Dexter wants to go as fast as he can drag me. Except for his stopping to smell and pee, he would literally drag me every step. Any way to stop it ? I do out of precaution keep his leash short. |
Yes but it's a real pain in your katouche. Every time when he pulls you stop dead still and don't move a muscle. I did this every day 3x per day in our walks. Another thing if he's taking off north you go east or west. Best to practice t!hat one in an open park. No on city streets And finally. I give one warning , do that Buster one more time, no walk. I promptly bring both of us back into the house. |
