Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Are there any recommendations of clips to use on a dog leash? A more secure one. I just have a normal clip on their leash and Titus manage to get loose today. He didn't notice at first. We tried to get him back but he saw a cat and ran across the road. The first car missed him and the second car almost hit him.

I checked his clips and d ring on his harness but nothing is wrong. I don't know how he get out of that. Is there a lockable clip of some kind?

You can also get one of the couplers they make so you can walk two dogs with one leash and attach it to his collar and harness. That way if one does come loose, you still have him on leash so you can reattach the one that slipped.

any of the clips on the ruffwear leashes are great. or doing the double up lock or getting a locking carabiner.
the normal clips some how manage to unclip at least once, happened to us with Jack, no idea how but it did.....
glad you boy did not get hurt.

I think its a great leash - now I use slip leads, because they are much safer than any leash/collar combo. Dogs always have collars on for tags, but the slip lead is AMAZING.

Thanks for all the useful information. I just got a new leash for them so I think i'll just get some locking carabiner and fit it to the leash. It never happened to me on a standard 6' leash. Yesterday he was on a 5m training leash when he got loose. No idea how he get out. Went straight for the cat.
