Chaining and Tethering

The Facts on Chaining

Countless dogs languish on chains in their owners' yards every day. Dogs are inherently social animals, and too many dogs are relegated to this empty life. Dogs who live tethered outside often become lonely, bored and anxious and can develop territorial and aggressive behaviors.
