Why do people chain their dogs?

Many people have well-trained dogs that can go on tie-outs to use the bathroom. This is especially helpful for handicapped people. My dog is neutered and knows basic commands. I only leave my dog out for minutes at a time. People who leave their dogs out for longer are hurting the dogs health and obviously don't care too much about their pet.

Either the dog is dangerous and it needs to be shackled because it'll hurt someone otherwise; or the owners can't afford an invisibile fence and are afraid the dog will run away; or the dog might impregnate another dog if it gets free; or the dog is being mistreated.

I don't chain my dogs, but there's a vet in my family. Generally, chained dogs are on the wild side; hence why they're chained in the first place. Also, yes, a higher percentage of chained dogs aren't neutered as compared to unchained dogs.

I guess you could say it's just the nature of the beast.

I have a herding dog that we leave chained up. She's just a farm dog she knows basic obedience (sit,down,heal,stay,shake) we just keep her chained cuz she has a bad habit of killing small animals. Like I said she's a herding dog so she has a very high prey drive. We also let her loose to play quite often. We also don't have a "slapped together wood thing" we have a big plastic dogloo from Rural King that we keep fresh straw in for her to bed in. She is fixed. Please stop stereotyping people it makes even people that are doing it responsibly look bad.

ignorance

Because they`re dumb and don`t have a heart and think that just because it`s a big Dog it can`t come in to the house, and because it stinks, and that they didn`t know what breed it was.
