Otherwise anything I can do the limit the infestation (short of not letting him go outside) as he loves his outdoor time, which is limited, would be good. I appreciate all the info. |
There are "tools" you can use to get the tick rather than using tweezers. Just search "tick remover" on amazon to see if there's any to your liking.
I've seen some "methods" to removing ticks which sometimes can do more harm then good. Below is a link on some of them... You'd be surprised at some of the "methods" ppl try....

About your leash issue... how about leashing him inside the house, let him drag it around? Maybe he'll get used to the feeling after a while.
