For TEMPORARY use, these chains do well for dogs whose owners don't have fenced yards. I used to allow my dog to spend no more than 30 minutes (less in extreme weather) teathered for fresh air. (Exercise should be done at the end of a leash!)


Many communities have "teather" laws limitting the time and animal can be on a chain. Most require the dog's owner to stay with the dog when chained. A dog acciedntally hanged itself in Evansville last summer when it was chained without supervision!

Pros: Secure restraint

Cons: Should be used sparringly!

When our dog was a puppy it was used when I was
outdoors busy and didn't want the puppy to run loose. I hate to see dogs chained for any reason but
to keep an eye on her when she was little and still
learning this helped. We now have an invisible fence.

Pros: sturdy chain

Cons: none

I only use this when we are keeping the dog from going in the street.

Pros: sturdy,

Cons: none

They tangle up easy but they are strong and dogs can not chew threw them.

Pros: strong

Cons: knot up
