When you undertake a Safe Rescue canine, you MUST use a slip lead. This will hold your canine secure: your new canine shall be nervous and won’t belief you, and you’ll not know which conditions may upset your canine.
If your canine panics, then a slip lead is the one strategy to stop your canine from escaping (many dogs can escape from a collar and/or harness). It will take AT LEAST 3-6 months on your canine to settle in and so that you can know your canine absolutely (longer for nervous dogs). The slip lead should ALWAYS be used throughout this settling-in interval.
Even after your canine is settled, it’s most secure to make use of the slip lead in conditions the place your canine could turn into scared (e.g. visiting new locations, round unfamiliar individuals, on the vet), and in conditions the place surprising triggers may occur (e.g. round bonfire evening).
Nervous dogs could at all times have to put on a slip-lead as a backup security measure. The slip lead is a security machine and should NEVER be used as a coaching software. Using the result in apply stress to the canine’s neck is damaging.

Most harnesses are usually not escape-proof, however harnesses with a strap behind the ribcage (e.g. Ruffwear Webmaster or Perfect Fit Harnesses) are safer. Retractable/extendable leads mustn’t ever be used on our dogs. Adopted dogs should be collected from the rescue and transported straight home in a crate.
