Avoid Dog Injuries Due To Leash Straining
Whenever you see owners being dragged down the street by their dogs, it begs the question: “Who’s walking whom?”
It’s strange . . . leash pulling usually becomes an “issue” only after a large dog has finally succeeded in pulling its owners off their feet, resulting in embarrassment or worse yet, injury.
Most dog owners have no idea that their frustrated leash-pulling dog might actually suffer physical harm during their daily tug-of-war. And tug-of-war it is: for a dog who is intent on straining the leash, even choke chains and pinch collars are not a complete solution. Some dogs will cease pulling only long enough to cough, regurgitate or take a few deep breaths, then continue struggling forward.
Studies have shown that a significant percentage of dogs who are serious leash-strainers or who experience repeated harsh jerks suffer from neck or spinal injuries.
