- Pulling on a dog's collar is not good and can cause a variety of injuries to the dog, as follows:
- Poor breathing: Pulling hard on a dog's collar can put pressure on your dog's windpipe, making it difficult to breathe. If it is a dog who likes to pull, this pressure will be more serious, and may even cause choking hazards.
- Blocked blood circulation: The dog has important arteries and veins in the neck, and long-term pulling of the collar will affect the neck blood circulation, which may lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain, which will affect the body function.
- Muscle and ligament damage: Pulling the collar can pull the muscles and ligaments in your dog's neck, which can overwork these tissues and even strain them in the long run.
- Spinal injury: Frequent straining of the collar can put pressure on your dog's spine, potentially causing spinal dislocation or a herniated disc, which can damage spinal nerves.
- Skin and hair damage: Improper or too tight collar material, coupled with the pulling force, can lead to neck skin wear, itching, and even subcutaneous bruising and hair loss.
- To avoid these problems, it is recommended to use a chest harness instead of a collar and carry out appropriate accompanying training for the dog, so that the dog can voluntarily follow the owner when going out, reducing the dependence on the lead rope and pulling
