But if you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/walking-dog-off-leash-really-safe\/\">walking your dog<\/a>, a safe dog leash is a necessity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only do leashes provide you with some control over your dog, they also keep him safe in unpredictable situations. You wouldn\u2019t want him darting into traffic, chasing a squirrel and getting lost, or meeting another off leash dog.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So a good leash is important, but where to start? Before you find yourself browsing online pet stores or walking the aisles of your nearest Big Box in overwhelm, check out our tips for choosing a safe dog leash.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety First<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many dog owners like retractable leashes as a way to give a dog more independence. These leads feature a thick plastic grip with a nylon cord that is pulled out and retracted when pressure is released, similar to a measuring tape.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although convenient, retractable leashes can be unsafe for the following reasons:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>They are too long, giving dogs up to 25 ft to get tangled up in.<\/li><li>They may break, releasing the dog at unsafe moments.<\/li><li>The risk of injury to dog and owner is well documented.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, retractable leashes can also send your dog the wrong message \u2013 that if he pulls on the leash, he can go wherever he wants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding A Safe Dog Leash<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to buying a safe dog leash, your choices are many. Picking one may come down to your personal preference, as long as the following criteria are met:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Length \u2013<\/strong> A safe length should be between 4 ft and 6 ft long. 6 ft is good for neighborhood and trail walking, while a shorter length may be better on a crowded street for more control.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Weight \u2013<\/strong> The larger your dog, the wider the leash should be. Smaller dogs can be safe with thinner leashes. Look at the packaging for the right size for your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Material \u2013<\/strong> While leather leashes may look beautiful, some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/dog-toy-safety-are-indestructible-and-stuffed-toys-safe\/\">dogs like to chew<\/a> them. A sturdier option may work better, such as nylon or polypropylene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Weatherproof \u2013<\/strong> Leashes should ideally be waterproof, which helps them last longer and keep their strength intact. You don\u2019t want your leash to break in a critical safety situation, such as your dog pulling toward traffic or an unknown dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Special Considerations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A leash is a necessity for basic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/dog-training\/\">obedience training<\/a>.
