I have a question- I have heard alot of people talk about their dogs being on the chain and thats how they like it since they pull or what ever the case might be- but-I have 5 dogs-I understand the adv. and disadv. of kennels-but what about

adv and disadv of chains?
which is better-how long is it safe for a dog-my dogs do have inside time with the family- however I love my dogs and they are part of our family and I dont want to do anything to cause them problems later on in life-so how long is safe?

any advice will be appreciated

thanks

Length of the chain a lot of times depends on the dog. I have dogs on chains from 6 foot to 15 feet. If you have a dog that likes the room and loves to play put them on a long one but remember one thing, If they get tangled up more then once it is too long. I have a few dogs that can not go on the long chains they have to go on the short ones.

The disadvantage on chains is chain stain on chest. Also NEVER buy the bull snaps. They will wear and break. All our dogs are on at least 1o foot chains, 3 ply collars and stainless steel swivels. One dog a day is taken off the chain, bathed allowed to run the yard and house, (Our dog yard is enclosed by a metal panel fence, seperate from the remaining acreage) and plays nonstop with our baby girl and us.
