Hi Craig,
ja wir haben teilweise Schleppleinen bei unseren. Mit Jagdhunden ist das je nach Rasse aber auch sehr sinnvoll und meiner Meinung auch die einzige sichere Art eine Davonlaufen in unbekanntem Gebiet zu verhindern. Ganz besonders bei Spaziergängen am Waldrand hat das bei meinen Hunden schon ein paar Mal ein Stiften gehen der Hunde verhindert und insgesamt auch dazu geführt, dass sie besser hören und zurückkommen. Zurück kommen sie aber immer noch nur, wenn kein Jagsreiz besteht.
Unere Schäferhunde sind Hetzhunde und müssen gerade in solchen Gebieten dann unbedingt an die Schleppleine. Auf ein paar Hundewiesen gehts mit denen aber auch ganz ohne Leinen dann.
Mit unseren spanischen Windhund Mix Paar geht gar nichts ohne Leine, Die sind selbständiges Jagen gewöhnt und lassen sich auf Distanz nur sehr schwer zurückrufen, wenn der Jagdreiz noch voll gegeben ist. Bei den Spaniern hat die Schleppleine in Sachen Rückruf aber nichts gebracht.
Liebe Grüße
Mirja
