BTW... He's broken a harness before too.
He's only 25Lbs but he's ALL muscle and he knows how to use it. He is VERY strong for a 25Lb dog an they just don't make stuff in his size that's strong enough to hold him.
One time he pulled the tether from the wall and I had to re do the whole thing WAY stronger than original. Now it has a spring on each end of the run, and one on the actual tether. That's why we NEVER let him outside unless one of us is with him.
I know about that... we had a boxer. All muscle is an understatement. We went through numerous collars and leads. Finally ended up using coated cable and the heaviest duty collars we could find -- actually had a friend who was a Veterinarian Tech help us buy collars. Scarlett would break the metal buckles! Don't worry though, someone was always with her at campgrounds, we always were ready when people would be walking by.
At home I setup an "invisible fence". Worked great! She quickly learned the boundaries, and could run to her hearts content in the yard.
Anyways, stay away from collars with the plastic clips. Use good quality collars with metal buckles.
