IT’S A GREAT “GOOD NEIGHBOR” POLICY -- PREVENTS YOUR DOG FROM TRESPASSING ON NEIGHBOR’S PROPERTY DURING YOUR WALK.  IT ALSO KEEPS YOUR DOG FROM JUMPING UP ON CHILDREN OR ADULTS YOU ENCOUNTER, ENSURING THAT YOUR DOG HAS THE CHANCE TO BE PROPERLY INTRODUCED.

IT’S A GREAT IDENTIFICATION TOOL -- SYMBOLIZES THAT THE DOG HAS AN OWNER, AND ENABLES SOMEONE WHO SEES THE LEASH AND IDENTIFICATION TAG ATTACHED TO THE DOG’S COLLAR TO LOCATE YOU IN THE EVENT YOU AND YOUR PET BECOME SEPARATED.

IT’S A GREAT RELIEF TO WILDLIFE -- KEEPS YOUR DOG FROM HARASSING SQUIRRELS, POSSUMS, AND OTHER WILDLIFE.

IT’S A GREAT WAY TO BE YOUR DOG’S BEST FRIEND -- REWARDS YOUR DOG AND YOU WITH FRESH AIR, EXERCISE, AND COMPANIONSHIP.

A LEASH -- USE IT -- BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR -- BE A GOOD FRIEND --

KEEP YOUR DOG UNDER CONTROL.
