A rope dog leash or strap attaches to the collar or harness of an animal, especially a dog, and is used to lead it or hold it in check. A leash, or lead, is essential for every dog owner.
When you first use a leash on your dog, it might take some time for your dog to get used to it. It will take patience if you are a first-time dog owner. Your dog needs to learn that the leash connects the two of you. Eventually, your dog will associate the leash with happy things, like going for walks. Some dog owners prefer several types of dog leashes for different purposes. One leash may work well for daily walks and another for hiking with your dog in the mountains or bike rides.
