Happy Tuesday! 🐶
Here are three things to NOT do with your dog!
👎🏻
1. Do not put your dog on a retractable leash
These leashes can cause friction burns in the event it gets twisted around your hand. They are also hard to retract in an emergency and your dog may be injured or injure someone else. These leashes break more than any other leash and are deemed unreliable.
2. Do not use the kennel as a form of punishment.
Kennels (or crates) are meant to be safe and comfortable places for dogs. When used as a punishment tool, the kennel can feel unsafe and kennel anxiety may increase.
3. Never use a laser to play with your dog.
Although you may notice your dog goes crazy for the laser pointer, lasers are more likely to be a source of anxiety that can lead to even more serious health and behavior concerns. Some dogs may start chasing light beams and tiny movements in hopes to fulfill that “chase” you taught them. It can also cause eye damage if pointed in the eye.
Have a good day and give your dog some head scratches for me! 😃
