Hi everyone! 🐾
I wanted to bring up a topic that’s probably familiar to many of us—dog leash burn. If you’ve ever had your dog pull suddenly or dash off while holding a leash, you know how painful it can be! The friction caused by the leash sliding through your hands can leave some pretty nasty burns—ouch! 😬
A while back, I had a close call with my energetic pup during one of our walks. He spotted a squirrel, and before I could react, the leash zipped through my hands, leaving me with a stinging red mark. Since then, I’ve been looking into ways to avoid leash burn altogether, and I thought this would be a great place to swap advice and stories.
Here are a few questions to get the ball rolling:
I’ve recently started using a padded leash with a good grip, and I’ve been focusing more on leash training my pup to minimize sudden pulling. Consistency has made a big difference for us!
For anyone struggling with leash-pulling dogs or wanting to prevent accidents like this, I found an awesome guide with helpful leash training tips: Dog Leash Training Tips.
Let’s turn this into a discussion! Share your tips, advice, or even some funny leash mishaps. Whether you’re a seasoned dog parent or new to the game, we can all learn something. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts and experiences! 🐕
