That’s why a puppy should be under your full control. Usual leash is irreplaceable in this case. Even after the puppy grows up, you will need it in dog’s training. There are many leashes made of different fabrics. The most reliable are metal, canvas and leather leashes. The ammo of these materials is perfect for large breeds.
