Simply picking your dog up by the collar is not recommended for a number of reasons:
- May harm your dog: Dog collars are mainly used for wearing and leading, not for supporting your dog's entire body weight. If the dog is picked up by grabbing the collar, it may cause excessive pulling and pressure on the dog's neck, cervical spine, etc., resulting in neck injuries, such as muscle strains, cervical dislocation, etc., bringing pain and discomfort to the dog, and in serious cases may even affect the dog's neurological function, resulting in mobility disorders and other problems.
- Trigger stress in your dog: This sudden and uncomfortable movement may alarm and upset your dog, triggering a stress response. The dog may struggle, resist, or even bite out of the instinct of self-protection, which will not only hurt the person, but also make the dog more nervous and fearful, which is not conducive to the relationship between the person and the dog.
- Collar may be damaged: When picking up a dog with a collar, due to the weight of the dog, the collar may be subjected to a larger pull, which is easy to cause damage to the collar, such as breakage, deformation, etc., especially some collars with more fragile materials, such as nylon collars, etc., are more prone to this situation. If the collar is damaged, it will not function properly and may need to be re-purchased.
- If you need to pick up the dog, the correct way is to use one hand to support the dog's chest, the other hand to support its rear hip or hind legs, the dog is smoothly picked up, so that its body is fully supported, so that both to ensure the safety of the dog and to avoid injury to the dog and the collar.
