Safety with Your Canine Companion

There are so many fun things we want to do with our puppies. Go for walks, let them have a fun run in the field, go for a ride in the car, play fetch with a toy. BUT they also need our guidance and protection. So my safety facts are as follows:

  • HAVE PROPER COLLAR and ID for your Dog. Name Tags/Rabies Tag/License/ Microchip or Tattoo.

  • USE A LEASH at all times unless you are in a fenced in yard.

  • USE A CRATE or SAFTEY BELT when driving in a car.

  • NEVER drive with your pets in an OPEN truck bed.

  • NEVER leave the back window the whole way down with your dog in the back seat. He can jump out or get thrown out if you stop suddenly.

  • NEVER let your dog out of the car until the leash is ON.

  • NEVER leave your dog in a car for any length of time unsupervised.

  • STICKS are not toys, they can get caught in the roof of their mouth, or if playing with a small child or another dog, someone can get an eye poked out.

  • NEVER corner or chase your dog when trying to retrieve something from them, always call the dog to you.

  • DO ENROLL in a puppy (12 weeks) or adult training class that uses POSITIVE Methods.
