How to set up a chain to properly tether a dog

- When using a chain to tether a dog, it is important to set up it up properly so the dog has access to a large area, and as seen in the photo link, the dog is still able to move very easily as long as you don't use a chain that is too heavy. If you have a high energy dog, and it is not active on the chain spot, you have a chain that is too large. Please do not make that mistake. I explain how to properly set up a chain tether for your dog to an anchor point for this reason. Doing this properly is important for your dog’s safety and also for the safety of others.
NOTE: I forgot to mention in the video that if you use CONCRETE in the hole to anchor the chain (instead of the truck axle), you will need to dig a hole about 10" wide and 2 feet deep.
I recommend 1/4" high tensile strength for dogs under 60#, 5/16" high tensile strength for dogs between 60-100#, or even larger if well maintained, and 3/8" high tensile strength for dogs over 100#.

My dogs are inside at night and most of the day but there is a few hours in the day where I just need a break from the dogs and they need to go outside. Both of them are pitbulls one is a lot bigger than the other and he probably weighs 85.90 lbs., and I've got to get a chain that he can't we're out. And I really appreciate you posting this video because I have not ever tried a lead but I'm about to so thanks.
This mans passion and attention to detail is incredible!!!!
I use ziplines(steel cables) running front to back on my property, at around 4 ft high, and straps connecting to the collar. When at home, during the day, I leave a 12 ft center free path for ppl to come knock... At night or when I leave I set them up with the full length straps... They love it. The straps are used so they won't mess up the grass and vegetation around. And that my friend is the best fence system you will ever have. Hahahah I have 4 German shepherds
One of the few people on TH-cam I see that can swing a sledge 👌
Well yeah I will have to give him credit for that 😂👍
Thank you SOOOO much
Super useful video, thank you.
Yes indeed very nice video just learned how to do a dog chain 100% thanks 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
This is very informative thank you!
Thank you very much. Blessings on you!
Thanks for this video ❤
Hi, thank you so much. Awesome tips.
Definitely appreciate this video
Nice! Learnt something today.
Thanks mate, big help
Thanks! Very informative
Thank you for sharing
Great video
Thank you i learned a lot and some of this the hard way. Good bless you
What size chain do you use thanks in advance
Good video here. Thank man.
Excellent video! How far under ground level should the chain be set in concrete?
What age would you put a patterdale on a chain?
Awesome video very informative keep up the good work
best dog videos
never thought about using two opposing quick snaps to secure the collar... thanks for the info. i've used bull snaps and they only lasts a couple of years... the spring usually wears out and it doesn't stay closed.
I've used them both sometimes the quick links will clink up but they work if I use bull snaps I always use 2 with a extra swivel you have to use an extra swivel
Your video was real good help my dog is new to guarding and I got it chained and the and it's now guarding my phone you are real help to me.
Could you do one on spots for very low temp or snow winter environments, like Maine?
Very informative video..We need more helpful videos like this...Could you possibly do one on medications for canine care..I know it's cheaper for me to purchase shots from local feed store...I wish there was a way where I could check blood count from home.
Instead of creating burs on the threads of the add a links, will Loc-tite work?
I think the best thing to do is to simply crank the nut far enough down over the threads that it locks itself...and you cannot do that by hand. You have to use good wrench or pliers and some type of pry device to hold the link while you crank on it.
Nice. Can you also do a video on how you do the wooden platform in the kennels?
too easy to do...just run a 2 x 4 through the fencing...and then screw the next one to the last one outside the fence on both sides of the kennel
Good video
Thank you
Nice
whats the thickness of the links on that chain please?
We use...
1/4" high tensile strength on dogs 50# and less,
5/16 HTS on 50-90#, &
3/8" HTS on dogs 90+# dogs.
thanks@@APBT-Bandog
Where I live I cannot keep my dogs on a tether unless I’m outside with them smh. But anyway, what’s a good size dog run for a dog kennel that ca n hold 4 dogs. I want to give the space the move around
I was wondering where did you get those swivels they used to sell them here at my local store but they don't anymore any help would be appreciated
Thank you keep up the good work
Hardware store or tractor supply, but you can also get them online.
@@APBT-Bandog thank you very much for writing back I will probably have to order online
Thank you be safe and be careful
Whats a good collar?
Should we put oil or grease on the swivel to help from wearing down that thick axle grease also I take electrical tape then duct tape and wrap the ring you tighten helps keep that thing from turn back off ,I like the way you did the part to connect to the dogs collar going to do this when we do civil/agitation work,and I have used thicker chains well I am in the business of cleaning out buildings, houses and I come across many objects(chains,hooks,cables, etc)OK keep up the good breeding, thanks for the info,I have been working on a line of banddoggie too,but didn't have the room or people to help with a real breeding program most of them our of dogs these days move on,but I doing what can do at my level, and I breed for me,my dogs our an offspin of Bandogs,but I will be putting the game terrier(pit)to working type mastiff(presa maybe,neomast maybe,Corso maybe,dogo maybe,) back in my lines your lines our nice good work
Proper swivel set up is all you need
@@APBT-Bandog what kind of collar or chain do u put on the dog tho? my dog slips his collar a lot
Have you ever thought of using stainless steel?
Leaktite would work great on those threads
Very helpful and educational for me ~ thanks so much!

Instead of all that work this will help u savetime. And labor..
Hope this helps. Just go to and
Auto parts store and get yorself a
Tube or 2 of thread lock . It worx.
It el save yer hands too. They have difrent strengths . The middle one is fine.. I think the they will all work...
smile at each other
fight like a vegen
What kind of harness/collar do you recommend for very strong dogs?
Heavy duty chains and prong collars
Heavy duty nylon collars !!! No prong collars on chains!!!! They are a training tool!!!
@@aidennolan3148 oh I did not know that but heavy duty chains work too right?
So how old is the tiger?
A little on the big side so is that belt sander lol. ( wish I had one like it )
I got a rednose pirbull
Can this be done with a dog cable? They made a law in Texas that dogs cannot be on a chain, so need alternatives.
ngl didnt know dogs couldnt be on chains in texas 💀🫣
Thanks for be tips now my Germany Shepard won't escape!
Thats good to hear
Where do you get the axel from
Transmission shop
@@APBT-Bandog thanks
@@jaydonhart8048 I HAVE 39 FOR SALE AXELS
.I ALSO HAVE ABOUT 30 AXELS N CHAIN SET UPS FOR SALE.ALREADY PUT TOGETHER.
My pitbull pal had a lot of 3:55 worn out chains paper thin between the links Id never seen anything like it
They look like a beast with a chain around them like to be more terrifying
Haha that was close almost chained you for a lifetime #funny
Where do you find the truck axel
transmission shop
.I ALSO HAVE ABOUT 30 AXELS N CHAIN SET UPS FOR SALE.ALREADY PUT TOGETHER.
I have a big dog n he is very strong
But how is the chain put in the ground?
That is explained in the video
@@APBT-Bandog do the snaps ever get twisted up
I don't like the snap clips like that I use bull snaps
ME 2
So stupid of Texas to make this illegal. Ugh. We need to overturn every such anti-tethering law, somehow!
Yeah absolutely. I want my dog to wear many chains so it looks good and I want my dog to be chained so this must be allowed my dog gets food water and attention
@@lorenzart7679 so does my dog he stays on a chain
@@pooney4262 thats good to hear. Hopefully the chain is heavy
@chad stary not true the chain my dog is on is not too havey for him just something he can't brake
@chad stary lol that might be true but in the long run it can mess him up I know from experience my dog stays primarily on a lightweight grade 30 chain I have a heavy chain but this only for exercise and I only keep him on there for 20 minutes
My dogs just tear the pole out of the ground
I use a truck axle OR I dig a whole and fill it with concrete. They ain't digging that out.
To much shit to do all that. Don’t know why you have to chain a dog. It is illegal to do that in the state of Texas.
Nothing wrong with a chain set up if done correctly its better than a kennel and that law is really not enforced in Texas
i dont like you. i want you to meet my dog.
There is no way to chain the up. If you don’t want a dog n the house. Don’t own dogs!
So what's the point of a dog house and what if your dog likes it outside better than in the house with you
Ok so wolves live in houses made by humans? Lol. Dogs have lived outside for thousands of years and some dogs may be too destructive to be inside. It's better for the dog to have a good life outside than to have no life because it ate something it shouldn't.
Wtf
hey everybody... the vegan tree hugger is here.
@@hanskdavis what do you mean by that?
