Keeping Your Dog Safe: Tips for Home and Walks
Preventing your dog from getting lost is crucial. Here are some practical tips to ensure your dog's safety both at home and during walks:
1. Secure Your Home and Garden:
Ensure that fences and gates are high and secure enough to prevent your dog from jumping over or digging under.
Regularly check for any gaps or weaknesses in your fencing.
Keep doors and windows closed or securely screened to prevent your dog from slipping out.
2. Use Proper Identification:
Ensure your dog wears a collar with an ID tag that includes your current contact information.
Microchip your dog and keep the registration details up to date.
3. Supervise Outdoor Time:
Never leave your dog unattended in the yard, especially if you’re not sure about the security of your fencing.
Use a leash or a secure harness when taking your dog out for walks.
4. Train Your Dog:
Invest time in basic obedience training, teaching commands like "come," "stay," and "heel."
Socialize your dog from an early age to reduce the risk of them running away due to fear or anxiety.
5. Be Mindful of Surroundings:
Avoid walking your dog in unfamiliar or heavily trafficked areas without a leash.
Stay alert to potential hazards or distractions that might cause your dog to bolt.
6. Stay Prepared:
Keep recent photos of your dog handy in case you need to create a lost pet poster.
Have a plan in place for what to do if your dog goes missing, including whom to contact and where to search.
