Do not hit your dog

Do Not Do These Things to Your Dog

As it may affect the emotions or physical health of your dog.

Do not leave your dog alone in the car

The dog will feel lonely, could be stolen, or suffer from overheating even when you have windows slightly opened.

Do not overfeed your dog not even with treats

Give your dog adequate portions with healthier bits. Just like people, dogs can become obese and suffer health risks such as stomach or bladder sickness.

Brush your dog’s teeth

Brush the teeth of your dog daily as well as make sure the dog has an annual check with the veterinarian.

Do not use the wrong collar

Research the best fit for your dog, a collar or harness, getting it wrong could seriously injure your dog.

Do not let allow your dog to lead you, lead it as you walk it

It could run into traffic, be unruly, be of bad behavior, or bite other people or be involved in a dog fight. You could, for example, use a short leash to discourage it from behaving badly.

Do not share your food unless certain it is suitable for it

On some occasions, it may be suitable to give your dog some of your food, but first research to find out what you should give it. For example, do not give it chocolate.

Hitting your dog can cause it to lose confidence and behave erratically on occasions.

Use the crate

Try using the crate as a positive reinforcement of good behavior, for example, at night leave your dog to sleep in the crate or during the day to rest in, when you pop-out.
