A dog might be provoked to attack someone for any number of reasons. In some instances, a dog might become overexcited while playing and accidentally bite or nip. In others, an attack is caused when a dog perceives an individual to be threatening or, in some way, dangerous. If a dog attacks, bites, or otherwise harms another individual, liability resides with the owner. A dog owner may be required to appear in court and pay legal damages if an injured party chooses to press charges.

Sometimes a dog bite is easily preventable, such as when the owner is aware of aggressive tendencies in their pet but neglects to properly leash or contain their dog. In New York State, it is illegal for a dog to be unleashed while in a public place. Owners are required to leash their dogs whenever they are in an open or unfenced area or in areas that are open to the public. Violation of the dog leash law can result in a hefty fine.

In this age of abundance, pet owners enjoy a wealth of choice when it comes to restraint systems for their pets. Collars, leashes, electric fences, and harnesses are just a few of the products currently available. The following are a few of the top recommended pet restraint systems currently on the market:

1. According to The Strategist, a good leash is made of reliable material, with strong hooks or latches to ensure that a pet does not break free of their owner’s control. Their article on the best dog leashes includes leashes and harnesses suited to all types of dogs and situations, from dogs that like to pull and chew to city walkers and runners, and even for owners who want to be extra safe when walking their pet at night.
2. Business Insider assembled a list of the best dog collars on the market, from the most ecofriendly to the most economical. The article made a point of mentioning that the purpose of a dog collar “is not to walk your dog but to keep them safe.” This can be extended to keeping others safe as well, as a collar is a means of controlling a dog and is sometimes the best means of preventing an animal attack.
3. Another useful restraint system for a pet owner is the installation of an electric fence. An electric fence is an easy way to ensure that a dog remains within the confines of its own yard. Pet Life Today reviewed and ranked the top-rated electric fences on the market.
