Beach "Leash"

    I would probably just use a long training line (20 ft lead) w/ a carabeiner on the end, loop around a nice heavy solid rock and clip. or bring a cinder block w/ you as a B-anchor?… lol

    dogs are allowed on the beaches there??? I'm so jealous!

    @BasenjiByTheBay:

    Basenji staying tied to anything vs chewing neatly through any leash ever invented…less likely, in my experience.

    LOL - so true! mine's done it to numerous leashes! in the blink of an eye too…

    As for the leashes

    These people sell collars and leashes that are gaurenteed for life. If the pup chews it you get a new one no questions asked. Not even that much more expensive ours were

    $12 - collar
    $15 - leash

    There is an actual leash that comes with a "bolt" like thing that gets buried in the sand - I've been trying to find it online for you but with no luck. But honestly, we tried it and it didn't really help - Seti just got super frustrated because he wanted to run. I highly recommend going to a dog friendly beach that allows them off-leash, such as Huntington Beach. We've also found a couple of spots just past the Ventura County line that seems to allow dogs off-leash.

    p.s. I'm almost certain we got our "beach leash" at Petco.

    They will replace them, but our main chewer can still get through one in under 30 seconds if you do not watch her at all times. Even then, when we walk her, she always will reach back and chew hers or the others leashes any chance she can get. Putting Bitter Apple on helps for a while, but by the end of the walk, she will start chewing anyway. We have had 2 replaced so far, so they are true to their word.

    I wouldn't feel comfortable with buring something in the sand cuz i think any B would have no problem pulling it out of the sand I know they do sell a Leash that goes around ur waist i believe it comes in 6ft long but u could always clip a longer one on it .

    I usually take a caribeaner and attach it to the end of the leash, and hook it to my ankle (if sitting), belt loop, backpack, etc… not as good as what you had in mind but it works

    we took olimar to the beach a couple days ago.
    he didn't like the water too much :/

    he was eating the sand though… we went to waikiki where theres a lot of tourist. perhaps if we go to a more secluded beach he'll like it a bit more.

    Tazlab has a leash that you can put around your waist, we have two of them.

    I used one of those giant 'corkscrew' tie-outs at the beach and had 3 attached to it. I put it as deep in the sand as I could get it and it didn't budge…of course the sand was packed, rather than 'fluffy'. Be sure and provide an umbrella for shade, they get hot and like to go in and out of shade. Mine don't like the water, but do enjoy the beach!

    Can she see you from her bed? Try raising her crate up so she can see you and give her something old that smells like you….she is so young to have left her littermates, she will need extra reassurance! Hope you get a good nights sleep soon!

    @DebraDownSouth: I won't claim I have never smacked a dog… pop for effect not hard enough to hurt. But I also won't pretend it is good training or necessary. Is it abusive, no. But it is not good training. But then, I also think the best parents don't spank. I want neither my dogs or child to behave for fear of getting hit, even if the hit doesn't hurt. I want them to do what I want through training, rewards and punishments that do not include hitting. Good post!

    Isn't it interesting that some of us use the same language for the same purposes no matter where we come from?!!

    We were very selective with the places we let Maxx off lead. We own acreage south of Phoenix, Arizona that is 5 miles from any main road, and requires traveling nothing much more than a goat trail for the last mile or two. We used to go out there and let Maxx off lead. He was very good about staying close…he'd stop occasionally and look around to make sure he could still see us. He was also good about coming back to us when we called him. We found another place on the Oregon Coast where there as a very deep beach far from a road, and since it was after Labor Day, the beach was empty of people. He had a ball chasing sea gulls...that is, until he finally figured out he'd never be able to catch any! Again, he was good about coming back when called.

    My Basenjis agree that leather is much nicer!! They eat them asap.!! So far the metal parts have escaped! Any one would think I don't feed them!! However I think that there is nothing nicer than a good leather lead, I keep mine for best or when I don't have too many dog out together so that I can't watch them all at the same time. I use a 2cm for walking and a 1cm for showing.

    Mirtillo isn't allowed off leash either. Only when I'm sure there is no traffic within a radius of 10 km.. When we go to such places I ask other dogowners if their dogs listen well and if it's ok that I let Mirtillo off leash. When Mirtillo doesn't listen.. the other dogs will and I can 'catch' him. It occasionally happens that his leash slips through my fingers, but when I call him then, he always returns immediatly. (knowing I'm having some very yummy treats)
