BY TYING A DOG OUT, YOU RISK INJURY TO SOMEONE!
A dog that is chained learns immediately that it can not run away form danger when scared or frightened, therefore the dog will attack when scared, whether it is afraid of a noise or even something imaginary. When this happens....there could be child near, another animal....the dog gets labeled as mean and usually gets put down when it is not the dogs fault.
Did you know that the very best guard dogs are those who live inside the house and get lots of love and attention? K9 police dogs are extremely effective guard dogs, and they live inside with the policeman and his family. A guard dog on a chain can’t do anything to stop an intruder! All he can do is bark. Do you really get up to investigate every time your dog barks? Barking is not an effective means of guarding your house. What you want is a dog who can actually jump in and protect you.
DOGS ARE PACK ANIMALS THAT EMOTIONALLY NEED COMPANIONSHIP. Much like their wolf ancestors, dogs are very social. In fact, dogs are more social than humans and need to be part of human families. When you own a dog, you become the dog's pack and he wants to be with his pack
A dog that is well loved with a lot of affection will love the family in return...and will fight to the death for them!
