Have you brought a new puppy to your home, and you want to show it off to the neighborhood? Though it would be awesome, the outdoor usually is very frightening for cute little puppies. They may get lost anytime!
Wouldn’t it be nice if people can discover you when your dog gets lost (they shouldn’t!)? Yes, it would be. However, how do you think that might happen? You just have to put a LED USB rechargeable dog collar on your doggo, which will have your address in it.
However, it’s not that simple. Here is everything you need to know before you look for “pet food bowl”. So, let’s go through the article.
Do Your Dog Really Need A Collar?
Yes, they do. Actually, it’s a legal requirement in some places. You might face a hefty fee from your local animal control agency if your dog is lost and isn’t wearing any collar or tags. You may get by in some remote area btw!
Other than legal requirements, tornadoes, hurricanes rage, and flames break out can cause your doggo to run more than ever. If they have an ID, the possibility of reuniting with you will definitely increase. You’ll also have some peace of mind.
When Should You Put a Collar on Your Dog?
So, you’re assured that your new puppy needs a leash and a tag. But when do you put that on? My suggestion is to start training as soon as possible, but keep it minimal at first.
Just like putting anything else on your pup, putting a collar also needs a slow and steady approach. If your dog is forced to wear their new collar for an extended period, it will develop a bad relationship with it, making it more challenging to get them to use it in the future. T
Start slowly instead. Slowly introduce the collar to your dog, helping it to sniff and get used to this odd new thing. Allow your dog to wear the collar for brief amounts of time at first, preferably right before anything enjoyable occurs, such as playing outside or eating.
With a little effort, the puppy will relate the collar and the tag with good activities at a young age, making subsequent walks even less painful for you (it’s even more challenging to get an adult dog to avoid pulling on the lead)!
A Note of Advice on Collar Fitting
Puppies are voracious adventurers who, considering their small size, can move quickly when they want to (which is often!). One of the reasons that a well-fitting collar is so essential is because of this.
Since puppies are less aware of their surroundings than older pets, they are more prone to have their collar hooked on something. So, it’s important to make sure the collar stays snug and allows you to fit two fingers between the collar and your puppy’s spine.
Consider Using A Leash
If your dog doesn’t like the collar even after training (the possibility is less!), try using a leash instead. Some pets will also prefer a belt since it is less cumbersome and more secure.
