Which is the best type of leash to use?

Newsday

Q: What is the best kind of dog leash to use? Our Labrador is 95 pounds. I like a short chain leash, but my wife seems to think that it hurts his neck. She wants to use a nylon leash, but I do not think that is strong enough.

A: There is no one answer to this question. If your dog has a nylon or leather collar, then the chain will not hurt him at all.
