Wise words from Pam Culver:
"Reminder to all shelters, rescues, adopters and dog transporters -

All fostered and adopted dogs MUST be Double Leashed and wearing at least 1 martingale collar 24x7 for a minimum of 2 weeks preferably longer. They are scared, unfamiliar with their surroundings and unsure of their safety. They will likely spook and run unpredictably. Without a martingale collar, they can slip out of a regular collar and most harnesses. Martingale collars are designed to tighten and prevent slipping over their head. A second leash attached to a second collar or harness provides a backup in case one leash or collar fails. Newly fostered and adopted dogs are likely already in flight/survival mode as their in transition and they have no idea if the transition is good or bad.

Example
Sheila was captured 4 weeks ago today after 6 months of work to gain her trust enough to get her into a containment area. She was basically feral. We immediately put 2 martingale collars on her while she was still inside the containment area, attached 2 leashes and a slip lead. The slip lead was removed once we arrived at her foster home. The 2 leashes have remained attached 24x7 for the last 4 weeks.
Today (start of Week 5) one leash was removed but she will continue to drag the other leash while inside. We will continue to double leash when she goes out into the 6ft fully fenced yard for safety as well as getting her used to the scary action of reaching for her collar and attaching the second leash. By doing this with the other leash still attached, we have some control of her if she bolts AND she is still safe inside. This will help gain her confidence for when we need to reach for her collar outside.
Notes
- Sheila is outside in a fully fenced 6ft high mostly privacy fencing, but she is STILL DOUBLE LEASHED IN THE YARD. Her leashes are 6-8ft long 1" wide or braided rope leashes. with sturdy metal snaps.

- Do NOT use a retractable leash EVER on a newly rescued dog. I don’t think retractable leashes should ever be used due to how easily they can be ripped out of your hand and they become a scary critter chasing the dog until they get tangled around something.

My soap box today is because I see/hear and become involved searching for TOO MANY newly fostered or adopted dogs. PLEASE do NOT take a chance. Think of the 2 leashes as you dog's seat belt in the car. You don't wear the seat belt because you KNOW you will be in an accident. You wear the seat belt IN CASE you are in an accident. Take an extra couple of seconds to attach a leash or 2 to ensure your dog's safety".
