How is taking risks like this any different than someone using a correction collar on their Yorkie? Is one more realistic than the other? And who determines that? The individual owner?
I have my opinion on both, and while they may or may not be identical to one another, I've seen a few posters that while they would NEVER put a collar on a Yorkie, only a harness, they're more than willing to put them on a motorcycle where now not only are you a factor, but other motorists are as well.
Just curious. |
FYI Maggie came to us from a family that had her in a "correction collar" for a year. It took her a long time to be just a dog again. I'll pass on your message about out our "risky" way of life to our friends who are 2 yrs into an around the world trip on their 44ft sailboat with Chloe, their Maltese/Yorkie mix. They could use a good laugh.
