My best friend has two rat terriers (one pure, one a Chihuahua X) and they chase after absolutely everything that moves. Add in the fact that they're super small, so they can escape through pretty much the tiniest opening in the fence. It's more of a better safe than sorry practice and she'd rather not lose 'em. Yes, they're both tattooed but if someone snags them on the side of the road, it's pretty easy to read the ID tag and bring 'em back rather than go through the hassle of going to a vet or SPCA to find out who it belongs to.
Back on topic: Good job, Maijin! :) | Guess my dads dog is different. Mind you only time he goes in the yard is at 6 am and just before bed to do its business. Other then that its on walks. And when he is in the yard right after he is done he books it back to the door.
still don't see the need to have a collar on when the dog is in the yard to do its business. Yard should be properly fenced to protect the dog from wandering off.
But yes back on topic, hope you can find her home. |
