When you adopt a Safe Rescue dog, you MUST utilize a slip lead. This will keep your dog safe: your brand-new dog will fidget and will not trust you, and you will not understand which circumstances may disturb your dog.
If your dog worries, then a slip lead is the only method to avoid your dog from leaving (lots of dogs can leave from a collar and/or harness).
It will take a minimum of 3-6 months for your dog to settle in and for you to understand your dog completely (longer for anxious dogs). The slip lead should constantly be utilized throughout this settling-in duration.
Even after your dog is settled, it is best to utilize the slip lead in circumstances where your dog might end up being afraid (e.g. checking out brand-new locations, around unknown individuals, at the veterinarian), and in circumstances where unforeseen triggers may take place (e.g. around bonfire night).
Nervous dogs might constantly require to use a slip-lead as a backup precaution. The slip lead is a safety gadget and should never ever be utilized as a training tool.
Using the cause use pressure to the dog’s neck is destructive. If your dog pulls on the lead, then we can recommend you on training techniques that prevent damage.
Once your dog is settled, you might wish to think about utilizing a harness (together with the slip lead) if your dog is comfy with being dealt with when it is fitted.

Retractable/extendable leads should never ever be utilized on our dogs. Adopted dogs should be gathered from the rescue and transferred straight home in a dog crate.
