How to safely Tie a dog up outside to potty & sniff about

[king2005]

That sounds just fine! If you can replace the broken swivel it would be a good idea. One of the mistakes most often made with stakeout chains is not putting it all the way into the ground and then the dog gets the chain wrapped around the post. Not a safe situation by any means!

with this screw, it has a handle thats above the ring (most stupidest design EVER).. that why I ripped the ring off & I just put the chain on the handle & screw it until its burried good & deep. No chance of tangling it around the screw

Now I just pour boiling hot water on the ground where I want the screw to go... burry the screw & let the ground freeze again, WOOT!

I have a 50ft cord I put Gracie on in the mornings and evenings while I'm doing outside work. I just wrapped a 4ft leash around a tree and hooked the 50ft one to it. She's never gotten tangled up and really likes it.

If the chain becomes a hazard for potty breaks, then I'll try to find one of those cords in a length that can be used in my yard.
