I am so happy Louise your hubby was home to help, and that your pup suffered no ill effects. We too do not use collars in the house of any kind. I came home for lunch one day (when I just had Magic) and it was a fluke I did, just decided to do it, and I cancelled the dog walker, cause I was coming home. Drove up the drivveway and I am hearing the most unusal and loud sound from Magic; I'm thinking what gives? I rush in the door, go to his crate and his collar had gotten hooked into a side piece of the wire crate(which shouldn't have been sticking out but was)! He almost choked to death, he was all scrunched up trying to remain standing, but pulling an pulling to try to free himself. NEVER AGAIN.

But back to the recliner. I think now, that I won't use it all, until Razzle is in his crate for bedtime. Then I know he is not around and can't get caught!.

I am going to do the same. I never realized how VERY DANGEROUS a recliner is. I will figure some other way to elevate my legs.
