Noah's Houndisms - A Good Leash Helps!

WOOF! WOOF! Barks, it seems that many pups and dogs are darting out the front doors of the homes and into the dangers of the wild universe of the front yard. Unwitting and unprepared humans are often the cause.

The front door opens to a humongous plethora of scents, sniffs, and curiosities for the average pupster and a few catsters too! Not to mention what it does to a dog with a strong prey drive like me. Squirrels, the neighbor's cat- no not you Samson my-most-bestest-cat- brother, a neighbors dogs, humans walking their dog, and mini-humans playing and screaming. Often, the screaming from mini-humans these days is enough to cause a dog to dart out the front door in an attempt to rescue someone in danger. Barks. Off they go out the front door- with their humans running behind. 

Barks! Keep a leash by the front door to attach to your dog whenever someone comes to your door. Hang it on the front doorknob or the banister pillar, or lay it on the floor; just somewhere easy to reach. 

If you are going out the front door, a leash will allow you to quickly harness your dog to take him with you- even if it is just to the mailbox!
