Potentially Deadly Elevator Threat for Careless Dog Owners!!! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I can't watch any of the videos but this is a great reminder to all of us! I've only used Elevators with my larger dogs a few times and I was freaked out by it. So afraid they would get scared and pull back so I held them super close by my side. My small dogs stay in my arms and I know where the leash is. Even just walking around I like to know where the leash is! My foster, Rocky could rope a cow. He can wrap a long leash around my legs in seconds which if not paying attention could be a tripping hazard. In crowds if someone were to step on a dragging leash it could rip your baby right out of your arms. I see a lot of almost accidents especially at Pet Stores.

Thank God all of these dogs survived!

I use a harness or the clothes that have a built in loop for the leash. Never put a collar on a Yorker or any small dog. You can injure their trachea or end up choking them.
