Tie-outs are like stakes that are placed in the ground. A chain is attached to the tie-out so that the dog has room to move about, yet is restricted to a certain area. These are handy if you travel, or like to spend time outdoors, such as with camping or for a day at the park. Puppies should not have collars that are heavy and bulky for them to wear. Use only a buckle collar on puppies, even for training purposes.
Puppies grow quickly, and a collar can become uncomfortable and dangerously tight.
You will need to check the collar often and adjust it to allow for growth. If you have your puppy enrolled in Puppy Preschool classes, a buckle collar and a 6-foot leash of your choice is the equipment you will need. Muzzles When properly used, a muzzle protects either a person, the pet itself, or both. Muzzles should never remain on the pet longer than 20 minutes before being removed and allowing the pet to rest. Muzzles must never be used on pets that have been sedated or used when a pet is in a kennel.
