I have something called a DogAnchor that is a heavy weight that I use for travel to my parents house where they can’t have fences. A small tie out line and my little buddy can hang with us on the upper deck and no worry he’ll go play with the rabbits. Since he’s not use to this type of restraint I bought one of these spring and snaps to provide some ‘give’ in his line so he doesn’t accidently jerk himself. Always using a harness with him, this really helps him stay safe. An inexpensive quick addition to this set up to provide for my little guy. A must for anyone who has to use a tie out with their pups.

Pros: Prevents 'jerking'

Cons: None
