In this episode of Paws & Effect Podcast, Dr Carra has the pleasure of chatting with Matthew Couperthwaite about the crucial topic of selecting the right restraint for your furry friend.

We delved into the concept that collars and leashes should be viewed as a safety belt, not a steering wheel, and stressed the significance of proper leash training. Matt shared his insights on the benefits of flat collars and harnesses, highlighting their roles as safety tools. We also explored the nuances of slip leashes and retractable leashes while discussing the use of head halters as a training aid.

Remember, choosing the right restraint depends on understanding your dog’s behaviour and specific needs. Stay tuned for more insightful pet care advice!
