Do you do regular health checks on your dog? I w Do you do regular health checks on your dog? 

I was just looking around in Briar's mouth, as part of a casual and routine health check. 

Can you tell what's missing from these pictures...??! (And yes, that is a little underbite!)

I looked back in my camera roll to see if I could pin point when this happened, which gave me a good idea that it happened in the last week or so! (See, those ten thousand photos of your dog WILL come in handy one day!)

Luckily she has a routine vet visit coming up shortly!

Long lines are useful for SO many situations! Whi Long lines are useful for SO many situations!

While I usually walk my dogs where they can run off leash, in this clip I'm walking on a property with livestock very nearby.

Long lines are the smart choice here!

Other situations might include:
๐Ÿถ When a dog's recall is not reliable enough for them to be off leash, but they are allowed more freedom than a regular 6ft lead
๐Ÿถ When being off leash is not permissible, whether legally or because it would disrupt other people/animals in the area
๐Ÿถ When it's too hot for a dog to have a full out run, but a safe temperature to enjoy more exploration
๐Ÿถ You have a dog who is sensitive to being caught (no one likes being grabbed at!), and the dragging long line gives you a comfortable way to catch your off leash dog quickly without grabbing equipment suddenly
๐Ÿถ When walking near sensitive wildlife - such as ground nesting birds, locations where fawns might be found, etc
๐Ÿถ When walking near a swamp and you want to keep your dogs out... (that obviously wasn't my plan here! ๐Ÿ˜)

How else do you use a long line on your dog?
