Your Dog and the Outside World
When transporting dogs in vehicles, walking them in parks, or keeping them outside on your property, dogs can encounter people, other animals, or dangerous materials.
Taking a few precautions can reduce your dog's risk of finding trouble.
Transportation. Crates and/or carriers are the safest way to transport your dog in all types of vehicles.
If a carrier is not available, try one of the following restraints: a harness with a seat belt; screens (to fence off an area in a car or truck);
or a regular leash attached to the armrest.
Caution: pickup leashes can lead to a dog's death by strangulation.
Walking. The safest way to walk your dog in public is on a leash. Leashes come in many different styles and lengths.
Short leashes are recommended for busy and congested streets so you can keep him or her close to your side.
Longer leashes can be used at parks or beaches.
Fences. Securing your property is the safest way to control your dog's environment.
Fences will keep him or her on your property and keep other dogs or strangers out.
Fences vary by type, from the standard wooden fence to invisible electronic devices.
