Running Containment Line?

I have heard you can get a running line for dogs to keep them contained. They are a long line with another line that comes off of it to attach to the dogs collar if that makes sense.

Does anyone know what they are actually called and where I could get one?

Thanks

I had a very sick and blind cat that loved being outdoors most of the day, however she would get confused and wander off so we made a contraption like the one you are taliking about. We just tied a piece of rope from point a to b the tied a sliding not on it and tied it onto her collar so she couldnt get away.

I worked a treat for small amounts of time however we found that she would tangle her self up and get stuck if left on there too long.

Good point :rofl:

I will take a look at some and see if we can produce our own. I am just worried if we make our own it won't be very strong.

PLEASE bear in mind if you are setting one of these up ... you need a LARGE clear area .. no shrubs/trees,roots,pots /fences within the range of the length of the tether, and about a metre besides - so dogs CANNOT reach anything with their front paws , and risk injury by tangling/jumping.

If you are wanting to do TWO - the dogs must not be able to get within a metre of each other at least- to avoid tangling/strangulation.

Also- with these cables - if not kept reasonably taut..they can get tangled around feet/legs.

For a running line I prefer a heavyish chain as the tether.

Building a run is actually a lot less stressful! And safer for your dog. :rofl:

It doesn't need to be very expensive- pavers/fence panels(2nd hand is fine) ... small amount of roofing material .... depending on the dog's size- even 2nd hand aviaries/chook pens will do .

Thanks.

Its not a perminant thing so it needs to be eaisly portable thats why I thought the line would be eaiser but by the sound of it, its more effort then its worth.
