DOG PROBLEMS!! HELP

[Americano Blue]

You need to do a proper chain spot, not a little stake.

First of all that chain is way too heavy and you don't need to double every thing. I have sled dogs, I know. sorry to sound like a jerk. Also, it just tells you about the chain. I'm not gonna put a car axle in the ground. why do people give pitbulls the "wild lion" treament? (by that i mean heavy chains and chain spots and large think collars)

You DO need to double everything if you have an escape artist dog who is great at escaping confinement. Like the OP's dog. Also, if you had bothered to read the article, you would notice that they recommend getting the size of chain needed for your individual dog. The car axle is used because it's not going to get dug up and dragged around, which again the OP's dog does with a stake.

A sled dog does not have the power of a bull breed dog, like the dog in the article, and does not need as heavy a chain. It's about knowing your dog and getting the appropriate equipment. Also, a wide, thick collar is a GOOD thing for a chain spot, so if the dog hits the end hard the pressure is spread over a wide area, not contained to a narrow strip on the throat. Thanks for playing though.

A T-post isn't going to be much better than a stake. It can still be easily dug up. The car axle is recommended because you put it in sideways, so it's very difficult to dig the whole thing out, and it's also very heavy to boot. I'm not sure what you could substitute for that.

Sorry by the way, didn't take note of the screen name, haha.

Maybe a junkyard or auto parts store? I know around here there are places you can go that are basically junkyards, you tell the people what part you are looking for and they take you out in the lot so you can get the part from one of the junked cars. Usually really cheap too.

No need for a car axle, just dig a hole two feet long, shovel width wide and about a foot or two deep, fill the hole with cement and stand a metal pole in the middle to be used as your tie off thats if you want to tie your dog up though I recomend not though do to the fact that dogs develop bad social behaviors from it. I still recomend training, training and more training, she is a beautiful lab btw.

I beg to differ, my friends Siberian Huskey has more power then at pit and would still be pulling while the pit is trying to get his strength back. His Husky even out does my German Rott
