Some tips
1. For vet visits bring your pooch in a crate.
2. Make sure the vet rinses down the examination table and do not put your crate on the exam table.
3. Dog leaves exam room in crate.
The most dangerous times are entering n exiting the dog park. From at least 20ft away from the exit leash your dog there. Heel him in close to your leg - short lead.
Entering and exiting cars houses etc. TEACH THE STOP COMMAND STAY
Work it several times a day every day.
We all learn when accidents happen. So do not feel so bad about this
I very happy that the damage was relatively minor. |
love this!
Also when you are inside a dog park, keeping a dog on leash is a very bad idea!! When all the other dogs are off leash, the dog on a leash can feel cornered or threatened and also become a target.
Also was this a small dog fenced in area or all size dogs? I would suggest only going to small dog sides in the future- there are way less problems in my experience at our local dog park.
