tying up dogs

[jepalmer]

newbie question:

When sitting outside, how/where do you tie up the dog's lead?
The Dachshund won't be much of a problem, but the lab mix is a puller.....

Thanks

This is how they do it in Rome.

We tie ours to the leg of the chair we are sitting in. That way we can completely keep track of what they are up to and can control them. If we both leave and go inside, they go inside.

I hope your dog is either light, OR your chair is heavy. Once I had a dog tied to a lawn chair on my patio. I was sitting talking when suddenly a rabbit jumped across the yard. The dog made a lunge and in a flash he was gone, the chair was ruined and I was on my rear end. :S

We don't tie ours. She is on a leash sitting by our chair, laying on the step or on our lap. People also need to pay attention to how long they leave the dogs tied up an in the sunshine on warm days. I see too many left for hours in one spot in the sun while the owner lounges in the shade nearby. Why???

We tie one to the picnic table and other to the stairs... just enough overlap for them to play but not get too tangled. Agnes

This is what I use as well. Gus only gets tied out after dark when all the yappers are put away for the night. I used to tie him to my jeep bumper cause he could drag the picnic tables around. The new tables are too heavy so he now gets tied to the picnic table.

I have two lines hooked to the landing legs. As someone stated both our dogs are trained to not run at other dogs nor their owners. They grew up camping and travelling with us so that really helped. Spend the time with firmness and love and you will be able to use clothes lines instead of cables.

Cables like this are very versatile. Can clip them to anything sturdy - table, steps, stabilizers, etc.

We use the cable leashes secured to the picnic table or landing gear, depending on where we are. Though if it's hot, JD prefers to be inside with the AC, even with his summer haircut. Tried the portable pens. But the urge to investigate squirrels is to great to contain them.

3 or 4 sets of 4' high ex-pens! It is big enough to make a yard for the picnic table, our reclining chairs, and some grass space. The dogs can go in the shade or out in the sun, beside us or beside each other. It works for us. Our dogs are taught no feet on the fence, and they aren't jumpers either so they are easy to pen (4' high).

Those who have installed an eye bolt into frame of the trailer have a good idea too.

X2. We attach a steel cable leash to it and generally locate it so it stretches just to the TT door. Makes it easy to open the door and have there hook-up right there. If the ground is very hard I drill a 1/2" hole to get it started.

Picnic table for us.

Those pens are nice except my present blue heeler & last dog a border collie jump into the pickup bed when I get in to go someplace. I would need a pen over 6 ft high.

That's why they make lids for the ex-pens. Which also duals as a real nice top to attach a sun screen to. :W

Ex-pens allow the dogs to relax and enjoy the camping experience also. IMHO, JMHO They can move about freely and safely in an ex-pen with out choking and getting all tangled up around themselves and tangled around the campers and tables when tied out. I just don't trust staked out dogs at CG's. I won't walk my dog past CG sites with a staked out dog. I've seen to many break away.



Midwest Crate makes them.

I have them on all my ex-pens. Keeps children hands out and usually more often than not it keeps an adult from walking up and leaning over into my ex-pens with their face to pet my dogs.:R

Picnic table -- suspect decent size dog spotting a squirrel might carry off most camping chairs.
