[nagdu] Tie down

[Cindy Ray]

Well, first of all, I think the crate is a better solution and I am glad it
is being used more now, but I use the method all of the time. At TSE we
received short bed chains, or you can use a leash, and we put one of those
hooks into our wall here at home because we didn't seem to have a good
arrangement for the dog. I put him on it nights so I will know where he is,
and if I leave him here alone, I put him on it. There are three dogs here
and two have crates, but logistically I am not sure about getting another
one. Anyway, my dog would love a crate but is fine with the tie down.

Subject: [nagdu] Tie down

Hey everybody,

I've read about tie downs several times on this list now. And I would like
to ask how this works practically.
My school gave me a crate for Taylor that I only used during the first few
weeks. But there are situations in which I could imagine a tie down would be
very helpful for both me and the dog. And we're planning on going on holiday
later this year for the first time with Taylor. I think that also during our
stay the possibility to use a tie down would be good.
So could anyone tell me:

- if you need a special leash for it or if it's possible with ordinary, 
relatively short
leashes?
- how it exactly works
- what's your opinion on this method? Do you use it?

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. :)

Thanks,
Lisa
