[nagdu] using a tie down

[Tracy Carcione]

I forgot about my office.  Krokus is always on tie-down at my desk, just to keep him from wandering.  He doesn't mind; he just goes under my desk and takes a nap.  The tie-down is double--one tie-down around my chair's center leg, and another tie-down attached to that, so Krokus has plenty of room to move around.

Hi, Julie.

My partner and I both tie our guides down at night. Also, if one or both of us is doing something like yoga in our living room, it’s easier to have the dogs on tie-down. That way, the floor is free for yoga mats and the like.

In the past, I’ve used tie downs when traveling so my dog wouldn’t get into anything wile I slept. I also used it in my office while I was interning, if I was going somewhere in the building without her.

I’ve found them to be effective. They take up much less room than a crate too. (Smile)

I get what a tie down is, how to use it in the sense of what it looks like, how it connects, what sort of collar to use and those aspects.  What I’m interested in learning more about is how you use tie downs in your daily routine.  Do you use it only at specific times, like meals or when people come to your home? If you also use a crate, when do you use each?  Do you have multiple tie down places throughout your home?  How long do you keep your dog on tie down?
