How often do you check your hardware?

ahhh i'll have to say in the middle

 

i check it daily

 

Daily right here

 

The bucket thing is a new idea do you have a pole coming out of the top of it or does the chain go straight into the ground and into the bucket?

 

Checked daily or when I put her out. It, my chain, is hooked to a heavy spring so when she runs at something, hopefully it will give before it breaks.

 

I check them ever day.

 

i bought some heavy duty rottweiler spring leash..lucky i had not made it out the gate.in two seconds the spring almost took my eye out..if you walk your dog outside..chain and a thick one..keep in mind weight pulling competition...there not a lot of collars or leashes that work.check everything everyday.

 

I have just one dog now so I clean her kennel every day and bleach it weekly and

 

Daily here, but a good inspection a couple times a week. Joel.

 

We check ours twice a day- When we put them out in the morning and at night.(Sometimes more) We feel that you can Never check it too much. It's people who don't have that mind set who make it hard for the rest of us. I feel that if you are going to have animals you have to be responsible about everything- including preventative maintenance.

 

i glance everything over daily, anr really look at things on the weekends. Another thing to watch is collars. I came home to some nasty messes twice because of collars.
When in doubt, double collar it!!!

If someone has a pic for newb's how to properlly double collar a dog, post it, so we dont have any accidents lol.

 

It depends on what kind of dirt you got around your place, there is alot of clay here so I don't have to worry about a pole. The clay settles nicely...........Some might want to use a pole......

 

I thinks maintenece should be daily

 

I check their tie out and kennels daily. I've had a couple times where they have broken cheap tie outs and gotten loose. My fence I check weekly.They are mostly inside dogs.

 

Ok, this is one of the things we look for, is wear on your hardware...

This can also happen with your chain so be on the aleart

 

thats one old ass chain or well used son of a b!@h

 

Very used, It layed around and rusted

 

Damn, I check mine hardware most of the time when I feed the dogs in the morning. My hardware aint all that old but you never can be to careful

 

I do Kennels and runs I also have a baby gate at both my house doors i have a three year old how likes to open doors. I check my kennels daily for holes. My kennel have pad locks that go on the doors. But, my girl mainly stays inside and is walked i use a hareness and a collar ad well as a double lead and a nylon leash if the collars breaks there is the hareness vice versa. I do this for her protecting cars don't know how to slow down on the back roads. I learnd this trick of my chows.

 

Bump... I bought some new 3/8" rings today (they are weldless rings), and a 3/8 laplink, thought I'd share with ya, this is what we use around the axle
