"Tether" means any chain, rope, cable, or device attached to a fixed object and used for restraining a dog. The tether must be of sufficient strength to restrain the dog and be appropriate to the breed, age, size, and weight of the dog and is attached to the dog by a properly applied collar, halter or harness configured so as to protect the dog from injury or entanglement with objects or other animals.
