You may have a large sized dog and looking at the very large linked chains at your local hardware store may seem like a good idea for keeping your dog from escaping once it is tied up, but…would you want to be wearing a collar that had that heavy chain attached to it?

The wear and tear on a dog’s neck from these types of chains can actually cause permanent damage from chafing and also cause your dog a great deal of pain.

Lean more towards a very durable rope or another more light weight item, this will be easier on your dog’s neck and it will also keep it from harming itself if it chooses to wrap the lead around things like its doghouse or other items in your yard, even a tree or bush.
