Proper Leash Placement

Many times we need to walk a dog to collect a urine sample or let them use the restroom if they're staying with us all day for testing or surgery.  Many of our offices are close to busy streets so please ensure you are using proper leash placement.

​

  • We should always use one of our slip leads.

  • NEVER use the owner's leash and collar as they are many times too loose and the dog and slip out of it.

  • Put your hand through the loop and hold the lead in your hand.
