1. The importance of traction ropes
The traction rope is a must-have pet product for dog owners. It is also a very important auxiliary tool for training dogs and is also indispensable for daily dog walking.
When taking dogs out of the house, dog tags should be worn as required, and measures such as tying dog ropes should be taken to prevent dogs from hurting people and spreading diseases. Therefore, wearing a traction rope for dogs is not only a compliance with national laws, but also a responsibility to others and society, and it can also reduce unnecessary trouble for yourself.
In addition, choosing a good quality and suitable traction rope is a kind of protection for dogs. A good traction rope can greatly reduce the probability of a dog getting into a car accident and ensure the life safety of the dog; it can better control the dog's range of activities, guide the dog away from unclean areas, and reduce the risk of accidental ingestion; it also has a series of benefits such as preventing loss and conflict.
2. Classification of traction ropes
The traction rope is generally composed of two parts, one is the rope pulled by the owner, and the other is the equipment put on the dog. Ropes can generally be divided into two categories:
Fixed traction rope
The length of the fixed traction rope is constant. Its advantage is that it has good control over the dog and is suitable for medium and large dogs with greater strength. Fixed traction rope with collar is the best and most reliable traction method.
Retractable traction rope
The length of the rope can be changed. Some of them are controlled by mechanical structure, and can be braked and locked with one button to prevent burst. However, this type of traction rope often has high requirements for the design of mechanical mechanism. Poor quality may cause jamming and winding. Some retractable traction ropes use elastic materials to achieve the effect of extension and contraction, which gives dogs more room for activities. When the range of activities is exceeded, there will be a certain buffer, which will be more friendly to dogs.
The part that is put on the dog is generally collar type and chest harness type:
Collar type: The collar type is divided into fixed collar and P chain. The fixed collar is put on the dog's neck, and the P chain should be placed more forward, near the base of the ear. Collar plus traction rope is the most commonly used and safest combination.
Chest harness type: The chest harness is a wearable equipment that needs to pass through the dog's forelimbs and put on the dog. This type of leash has a larger contact area with the dog's body, the force will be more evenly distributed, and the dog's resistance will be relatively small, but the control is relatively poor.
3. Tips for choosing a leash Before choosing a leash, you must first understand the personality of your dog. If it is more lively, you should pay more attention to the explosion-proof and anti-breakaway performance. If it is quieter, you can consider more comfort factors.
When choosing a leash, you should also consider the following points: The control force and strength must be sufficient, that is, the structural design must be precise, the quality of the material must be good, there must be a certain degree of comfort, and it must meet the dog's ergonomic standards. It must be easy to wear and take off. Finally, you can also consider the aesthetics.
