Default Anyone still use a chain?

I am just curious if anyone if anyone still puts their dogs out on a chain, and if it is legal. I know where I live, it is illegal to keep dogs outside on a chain.

I'd never do that. People around here do it all of the time, so I'm guessing it is still legal, or else they just dont enforce it. I feel so bad for the dogs that I see that look like that's basically all they do is lay by their pen on a chain. It's heartbreaking.

They really don't have a law against chains in this area, as I have seen some people still using them. I feel that a better alternative, is using the "Wire Cable" system, so the dogs will have more freedom, and less of a chance to get tangled up. You just need to make sure, that the cable is strong enough to hold your dog, or you will be chasing them down the road......

No...I would never use a chain. That seems too harsh for my own taste.

I could never use a chain as well. Could you see a Dachshund on a chain?

I think that a chain is just cruel. I am always worried that my dog might have to run from something, and they won't be able to get away. That, and I hate people who get a dog, and then just make it live outside on a chain. I live the idea of either using a real fence or an electric fence, although my little dogs couldn't wear the heavy collar. As far as legality goes, I think it is just illegal to not provide them with water and shelter in hot or cold weather.

No I don't use a chain as I think they should be supervised as much as possible. Rather than chain them outside spend quality time with them. Take them for a walk which must be more beneficial to them.

I don't know if chaining a dog is illegal here. I know a couple of dogs who gets chained outside their house. The dogs are both shih tzus. They are both adorable and I don't know why their owners chain them. I will never chain my dogs! Everyday, my dog and I visit the shih tzus.

I think that using chain on your dog is a bit harsh. Think about how would your dog feel. Maybe using chain will make them more agressive.I've seen the effect of chains on dog. I've heard that in some countries it's perfectly okay to use chains.
