Dog Chaining Feature in ‘The Woofer Times’

EBAA is featured in this month’s issue of ‘The Woofer Times’, a
new monthly newspaper for dog lovers in the Bay Area. Learn about
the facts and myths behind canine tethering. Several studies have
revealed that continuous chaining or tethering leads to
aggressive behavior, physiological distress and physical injury
for canines. In recent years, leading regulatory agencies and
professional organizations have taken a stand against chaining.
Citing concern over safety of animals and humans in California
has sparked communities (i.e. Fremont, Hemet, San Diego, San
Francisco, San Jose) to enact dog chaining regulations.
