Proper way to chain?

[My_Pit_Dixie]

Ok this question might sound stupid to some but this is my first APBT. What is the proper way to chain my baby ? I have her on a basic chain w/ a spin hook . So if she rolls this helps keeps the chain from rolling most of the time. Like I said she is my first one and from what I have read chaining her is not the same as chaining my smaller dogs. I would like to thank every one for being very helpful. I never new there was so much sad things happing to this breed untell i was told that my baby could not go to a camp site we was going to myrtle beach. I was so upset about this i did a web search about APBT and found this site. Thank God!!! BTW she was not allowed becouse she is simply an APBT all others are allowed..so we are camping in the back yard

Your best setup would be to use 1/4" high strength tractor chain with an axle pounded into the ground as your anchor. You have one or preferably two O-rings on the axle with a high strength tractor swivel to one end of the 1/4" chain. You have 6 or more feet of chain to another swivel. The swivel is attached to one or preferably two O-rings that go around a 1.5" or 2" seat belt material or multi ply vinyl collar. The collar is fed through the one or two O-rings and then latched shut. There should be double keepers on the collar and I would highly recommend getting a collar specifically for a pitbull or other sporting dog. The local stores and pet shop collars are no where near strong enough to be used on a chain setup. Check your hardware as often as you please but atleast once a month and you should have a happy dog on your hands. Be sure to provide a proper shelter designed for the weather in your area. You would also be well to leave an overhang on the roof so the animal has shade when it is really warm out. Feel free to PM me with any more questions or specific help.

Best of luck,
