to tie a

Square Knot 

Like the Clove Hitch the Square Knot is often considered a poor knot. For many purposes (for example: joining two ropes, tying shoe laces) I agree. However I do find the square knot is an excellent knot for tying a lead rope to a rope halter.

Safety:

Ropes and the knots associated with rope, can be dangerous. If improperly handled, or tied, ropes can kill and you could be the victim! Always use rope with care and  inspect and test any knots you tie. Respect ropes subject to a heavy load, especially your own climbing rope. The danger associated with ropes under load is often learned by painful experience.
