Dog owners, you must use a leash or leash when taking a walk together, but there are many dog ​​owners who experience dizzying accidents while using the 'auto leash'.



Lead wires come in a variety of shapes and types.



Among them, the 'automatic lead leash' stretches like an automatic tape measure and then winds up on its own.



By the way,



[automatic lead rope hurts 5 times when wrapped around the leg. The line is too long and stretches endlessly; I get stinged by the automatic lead and die.]



There are many negative reactions like this.



[Kim / Dog owner, Subs News PD: I always took a walk with the lock on. But one day, with a popping sound, he makes a sudden move. I was lucky to have people on the road so far away. Me and my dog ​​were in a situation that could seriously injure someone. I don't even look at the automatic leash after that.]



How is it different from a regular

leash

?



First of all, if you look at the straps, compared to the general lead ropes that are made up of one simple lead, the automatic lead wire has a handle, a button, and the shape of the strap is diverse.



In particular, this coil type has a very thin string.



When the power of the dog is added to this thin string,



[Kim Seon-ah / Professor at Chungbuk National University Veterinary Hospital: When a dog suddenly jumps into the road or into a dangerous place, people instantly pull the lead cord.

If you hold it by hand, it will burn your hand.]



Automatic tape-type

leads are

just as dangerous.



The endlessly stretched automatic lead line is unpredictable.



As a result, passers-by cannot know the range of the approaching dog at all.



[Kim Seon-ah / Professor at Chungbuk National University Veterinary Hospital: You can't keep pulling your hand when walking with someone.

Good (dog) walking training is walking without tension on this leash.

However, automatic leashes are always in tension, so it is not a good education.]



Dogs learn to stop when the leash is tight and walk when it becomes loose, but the automatic leash is always tight, so it's confusing.



[Kim Seon-ah/Professor at Chungbuk National University Veterinary Hospital: 'The only use of an automatic lead leash is to go into the trash bin,' (animal) ethologists say so.]



For a pleasant walk with your dog, you should choose a safer lead leash
