6' leash. Is that the law??

Thats only when your walking with them,, you can tie them up with 40' of chain if you desired,, But if your lab is not a chewer I would use Flat Stock webbing, its cheap and light weight you can get at most sporting good stores.
I use 20 feet of flat stock with loops sewn in the ends and I bought two of those giant carabeeners from Home Depot,I can hook one end to the picnic table leg and my dog is close to us. He will not chew thru unless his life is in danger!!
If yours is a chewer, get some light weight chain!!

I believe every place we have stayed says they must remain on a 6' leash at all times. I've never seen it say only when walking them.

Well,, that where the "Common Sense" falls apart! If I get a 30 foot by 25 foot site, I will tie my dog up with a 20 foot piece of webbing so he has free roam of my site.. Never in all my years camping have I been told my dog needs to be on a 6 foot leash at my site!!
rarely do I see the little yapper dogs in there little penned in areas on any type of leashes!! And they don't get harassed??
I guess next thing will be that my dog can't sit on the picnic table and guard the compound??
We are actually moving away from a tether and have been using a "Training Collar" He has taken very well to it and we walk around the neighborhood with out a 6' leash! No crime committed as of yet!!
Most of those "Dogs must remain on a 6' leash at all times" show a pictograph of a dog being walked,, not laying around a camp site.. Maybe you read to far into things???
