I use a carabiner to make a run for my dog when camping. Tie a rope between two trees and clip the dogs leash with a carabiner on to the line. The dog has a free run between the trees. The carabiner slides really well over nylon rope. Make sure the line is low enough for the dog to be able to lay down. Also, you can clip more than one dog th the line.

Both Ian on this channel and Zak George from Zak George’s training revolution are brilliant. I’d also suggest Jean Donaldson and Ian Dunbar if you can find videos or books anywhere online, whilst they’re not on KZread if you’re able to find those two, they’re beyond worth the extra effort.

When we first brought our puppy home we used/use ours to attach to the dogs leash and then to my belt loop. It really helped with controlling his environment, leash training and made it easier to watch for clues during potty training.

When it comes to safety let’s not forget that the strength of the locking mechanism is only as good as the strength of the line on which your dog is attached! In reality a husky could very easily chew through one of those lines on less than 2 minutes leaving your safety lock attached to the car long after the dog has bolted!

My puppy escaped from his crate for the first and last time - typical Pet Smart basic wire crate. After dealing with chewed up cork and GLASS, and a fully destroyed house, I promptly ran to the hardware store and picked up a carabiner to simply secure the latch so he can't paw it and flip it up and do it again.

I’d like to urge all my fellow dog lovers to please use a locking carabiner as a harness failsafe, shown here at 6:46. We have a Boston Terrier who looks very much like the one in this video. She’s a puppy mill mama and one of the first things we were told when we adopted her is that they are very hard to get back if they escape. We have been so diligent about never opening our back door unless she’s secured but we almost lost her outside when she backed out of her harness. It happened so fast and we were extremely blessed that it happened in the field behind our house and not out front on the sidewalk. My husband caught her but I never want to go through that again. Now we never take her outside, even for a minute, without the carabiner.

I got a caribiner for my miniature poodle after watching this - it's been fantastic for patios this summer!

Thumbs up if only for the short and sweet carabiner buyers guide. I've tried using them as hacks for other stuff, but I'm cheap and always get the least expensive option. I didn't even realize the differences between all of these. Thanks!! The other ideas were good too, don't get me wrong.

I REALLY appreciate your channel. It is clear and you do not baby talk like many other dog videos I've seen

I take my dogs to many different environments and never leave home without at least 2 of them. They are INCREDIBLY USEFUL. It was educational for me and I am starting a hunt today for locking carabiners. I see your point. I will also be buying 2 extras and tucking them into the glove compartment of my car---another terrific suggestion.

You just solved my problem with my chi from escaping from his time outside, he is a Houdini.

I use one as a safety net to hook the dog leash to my wheelchair. That way if I drop it the dog's still attached.

You guys do know, legally your service dogs can be off leash (as long as they're trained) as required? This is true for the states at least. But legally according to ADA law SD's are not required to wear a vest or have a leash on if your disability makes that impossible. ADA paragraph, copy and pasted from the ADA website: "Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls."

Hiya there; am a brand new subscriber - planning to get a puppy for the first time in my life and want to be as prepared as i can possibly be... Thank you! You're smart, articulate, intelligent and obviously educated - all things increasingly hard to come by in this day and age. Thank you for taking the time out of your life to share it with all of us out there!

I use the carabiner to link the leash back around when doing the .... Harness trick with a standard leash. Leash around the neck, pull leash along the back, then wrap around the belly, and loop over the line that goes down the back (2x), then carabiner the grip-loop to the dog's collar. So now you have a grip-able harness along the dog's back, without having to take the leash off.

Loved the dog accessory ideas, I used carabiners to hang a porch swing, worked great! :D

I work in a kennel and every kennel gate is clipped with a carabiner so even when we unlock gates in the morning dogs can't open them. Most don't even know how but I swear some of these dogs are so smart! A lot of these hacks also work with a coupler, when I take a dog out to hands free training I clip them to a coupler and then my belt, not only is it a great hands free option, but if I need to tie them to something the loop in the middle makes it really fast and easy. I also use carabiners to clip large water buckets to the inside of fences slightly above the ground so dogs can't spill them.

Another thing I use the carabiner for is to reinforce the attachment of the leash to the collar. Adding a carabiner clip to go from the leash clasp to the dog collar ring.

Since you are a climber, you'll understand what I'm talking about. In order to give my lab some room in the back of our Subaru Outback, with the back seats down,, I use a locking carabiner hooked to a D ring in the back of the car, and attach a climbing runner (24" tubular webbing) to her harness. Keeps her safe and doesn't allow her to climb into the front seat. Thanks for your excellent insight.

Some good ideas here. Only issues I had was some of the things shown being used to tether a dog to would not be strong enough to hold up to a dog who pulls or jerks against the tether. If you're going to talk about the strength of the carabiner that's great but if the dog is tied to something that's just going to break it doesn't matter how strong the leash is.

@SimpawticoDogTraining

Well of course. The idea behind having a strong carabiner is that it's a multitasker available for dozens of situations rather than just a few. As always, match the tether, the activity, and the hardware to yourself and your dog. If you have a strong dog that jerks on a tether, be mindful of what that anchor is.

Carabiner rated at 24 kilo newtons. Anchor rated at ???

You need to use a locking climbing carabiner for a dog like a fish needs a bicycle. Don’t get me wrong, you need something strong enough for the purpose. I bought some ~$1.50 beeners for use with my grooming hammock. But they’re stainless steel and rated above my dogs weight, and the weight is supported by two rope/pulleys. My favorite use? Attaching my leash to chain link fencing outside the DIY/Home Center and grocery store while I go inside for for 10 mins or so. Or, as you showed, tying him off to a tree on a walk. Again, I would not use the carabiner I use for that purpose with a hyper Bull Mastiff, but for my chill Golden? It was never a problem for his 11 year life span.

I got one of my rescues as an adult who was abandoned near the Everglades so she is willing to just run/swim and not come back. So I use them to attach her to a ski rope so we can romp in the shore of the ocean/gulf (this is only done from shore) and she can freely go out with my other dog under my supervision of course. And yes, I am always on watch in case she gets tangled. This has allowed her to get in the water and get some swimming exercise while having fun.

I love them, I often take them from my dh climibing stash, The open gates from the hardware are good when you are training a service dog on waist belts to connect various leashes to their harness. I use a double so I can quickly shorten or lengthen them as needed. FYI never carabiner a jumpy dog inside a car they will wrap themselves to a point of harm, for our wild puppies we used car dividers designed for that in a small area like a bakity-back of a car, not a trunk-lol, we then stash pillows if needed to keep it more cushioned. We will carabiner if we are seated with the dog to prevent such issues of spinning especially young ones. I love all of your leash tips, they are great. Can you go over the various vehicles and the best ways to transport dogs safely? Also carabiner the crate in the car from shifting when you do that.Good stuff.

When I slackline at the park, I have an extra carabineer and 20ft of climbing strap. Depending of how many people are around I can adjust it's length. Works like a charm.

Another Genius Video! Thanks Again for Great N useful ideas!

I am a carabiner hoarder and use it for my service dog in training, as do most service dog handlers. I use it to connect his collapsible bowel to his vest, to make a hands free crossways leash if I am without mine. I use it for connecting my pull strap to his vest due to his current vest missing the side d rings for a pull strap so I use small carabiners that cannot go over the rubber handle with keeps it from slipping and keeps it wide as it should be so it is easy to grab. I use it for all of his gear. I have one on my keys to connect it to my bag, his treat bag, or to his gear (vest, mobility harness, collar if needed, etc) if needed. I use carabiners for absolutely everything. Connect his prong to his normal collar for safety. Just everything. Carabiners are a staple when you have a service dog for sure!

I use a quickdraw as a car restraint for my little guy. God forbid if we ever get into an accident, I want to be certain his restraint is going to hold. Quickdraws are designed to catch and hold firm even when a 200 lb. lead climber has fallen from the wall. Most quickdraws don't have locking biners, but you can use attach two locking biners to a dogbone sling and then--perfection--room to move, but always safety in an emergency. I'm certain his harness (while very sturdy) would give out long before the quickdraw. Love those carabiners. Great advice!

Good life hack there!

I envy the price you say you find those at. I mean, even I would pick up a few at those prices (converted to euro's), but here they are closer to 30-50€ if you want a lockable one that's used for climbing and bouldering. Tbh, I've just picked hardware store lockable ones to use at weightpulling and stuff (the 16kg dog can pull a 260kg+ worth of weight if they absolutely want to, with the appropriate harness and all). But I'm super iffy if I'd want to put them as a part of a leash when my dog is very sensitive to weight differences on her gear otherwise. Plus very few grip-leashes (nylon with rubber strands weaved in between) come with these as an option so eh... These are just some thoughts that came to mind while watching. Good ideas though on the video..

Great video!! 👏👏👏👏👏

What an excellent video. Concise, to the point, informative and so well produced. The carabiner is such a smart design with tons of uses. I mostly have the hardware bought stuff but I have a couple of locking types that I use whenever I do some tree work. I hope I can come up with some alternative uses but i think you and others have most covered. Thanks.

The latch on the kennel broke off so I use 2 of those things to keep it closed

I need to upgrade my leashes clip. I bought a "strong dual handle leash" from Amazon. Great reviews, and the leash definitely seems strong. More than enough for my 67lb 3yr old pitbull. But the actual clip.... I don't trust. It seems "dainty" to say the least. I'm looking for a substitute so I can cut off the dainty and upgrade to bulletproof. Now I understand how important the locking system is

I just have a small rat terrier but my best friend uses one to keep her sneaky black lab from escaping his crate by adding an extra restraint to it! Seriously all so great

I use the carabiner to attach leash to my belt which means in an emergency ie a fall I can use both hands to break my fall and my dog is always attached to me. I use black diamond climbing rated carabiners. I can always use a normal lead as a runners lead also. Just make sure if you do this it's a sturdy belt with a strong buckle if you have a big strong dog. I have a small dog so I can even use belt loops if they are strong.

I like your video and have subscribed! I have walked literally hundreds of dogs over thousands of miles at my local Humane Society over the past four years. I found that a rope style slip lead is best for this type of environment. I also found that if a dog is a puller then you can almost always stop the pulling instantly by simply attaching a carabiner to the eye of the slip lead next to the slip ring and simply looping the lead under the dog and then attaching it to the carabiner. You should probably have at least a 6" long slip lead for this. I then slide a homemade stop up to the carabiner so that the loop doesn't get sloppy. Most dogs respond well with the lead looped around the chest. Some dogs still want to pull so sliding the loop back behind the ribcage almost always stops those dogs from pulling. Neither method hurts the dog and is so much better than having your dog injure his throat pulling against a collar, etc. A non-locking carabiner works very well for this and is fast and easy to use. I have never had one disengage and even if it did somehow the slip lead loop is still there around the dogs neck. My favorite is used for rock climbing and is less than $6: smile.amazon.com/Fusion-Contigua-Military-Tactical-Carabiner/dp/B01M0AYDYT/ref=pd_sbs_468_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=0VY3R853VZKJ1MW3B1MH I can also use the same lead as a standard slip lead of course if the dog doesn't pull and the dog doesn't need a collar for either method. Hope this is useful info for someone.

i used climbing carabiner for the improvised rope leash (seen at 7:00) for a really long time. But over time my leash has evolved, or devolved so to speak, into a simple climbing rope (dynamic rope) where i attach the dogs i use a simple bowline knot. It never tightens, making it safe and reliable for your puppy. if you do want an improvised slip leash for training the knot can be changed to fit your needs. I have two dogs so i use a long rope with a dog tied at each end. Another rope tied in the middle using a clove hitch for easy handling/ hands off walking. This also lets you tie your dog to a tree or a post with ease. my dogs also dont wear collars so they have nothing to clip the carabiner to :p

"Leading the walk" is a loaded term. Depends. When you're out for a walk, it's your dog's walk too. As long as they're not acting rude, doing unsafe or annoying things, and generally doing what you ask, it's fine to give them some decision making. The caveat to that is that they MUST heed your requests. If they don't, then they naturally aren't ready for more freedom, just like a child. If you're asking about whether it's bad that your dog may be walking in front of you...no problem. As long as they're paying attention and minding you, and it's safe, who cares where they're positioned? The idea that the dog will think they're in charge is outdated. It's rubbish. We know better now. Just enjoy your walk with your friend.

If you walk multiple dogs you can also use the carabiner to hook them together so that you only have to hold one leash and minimize the risk of dropping one

Great idea!

The lock Ones are definitely better, but if people are after quick leash releasing then they’d need something with a quicker unlocking system

You know those indestructible kong leashes well found out the clasp couldn't handle my 100 pound American Staffordshire terrier so I made a much more durable clasp from a carabiniere

As a replacement leash hook (attach the karabiner then glue the existing one from the tip of the thing that keeps the dog’s leash then you have an effective way to keep ur dog’s leash on until the walk is over)

When you lead climb, you're not supposed to back clip, because if you fall you can get the rope to unclip itself like you said. Most people don't put locking carabiners on draws because it would make the climb A LOT more draining.

How about configuring a leash to be a no-pull leash, where it will cinch under the tummy when the dog pulls? Attach the leash at the collar and the carabeener at mid back with lead going around the tummy and back up through the carabeener to you. It's an idea, I haven't personally done this yet.

You can technically do that without a carabiner, just with a kind of hitch with the leash. But a carabiner might make it easier to do in a pinch and probably smoother response.
