When you undertake a Safe Rescue canine, you MUST use a slip lead. This will maintain your canine secure: your new canine will probably 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 approach to forestall 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 grow to be scared (e.g. visiting new locations, round unfamiliar folks, on the vet), and in conditions the place sudden triggers may occur (e.g. round bonfire night time).

If your canine pulls on the lead, then we are able to advise you on coaching strategies that keep away from hurt.
Once your canine is settled, it’s possible you’ll need to think about using a harness (along with the slip lead) in case your canine is comfy with being dealt with when it’s fitted.
Most harnesses will not be 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 have to be collected from the rescue and transported straight home in a crate.
