Many animal rights groups view tethering of pets as a cruel practice. This involves fastening a dog’s chain to an anchor, thereby limiting his mobility to a specific area. If there is really a need to tether your dog, you may do so but only as a temporary way to restrain or secure your pooch. Pet owners should be aware that tethered dogs have a higher possibility of getting tangled and injured.

Pet dogs are tethered so they are unable to go near or get into situations that are risky for them. It can also prevent dogs from straying, especially in an unfamiliar place. Tethering working dogs is also practiced in many farms.

When your dog is not accustomed to being tethered, he won’t hesitate to bark and howl to show his unhappiness. A dog needs to get used to the practice before you try leaving him alone, even for a short time.

Keep your dog healthy and active by bringing him regularly to a Pickerington veterinarian. Visit this website for more valuable information.
