This rascal loves to chew anything he's not supposed to. His favorite is the carpeted doggie steps. I discovered he loves the laser pointer. I tell him leave it and get his attention with the pointer. Have him run around the room a few times , I even point it in his crate and tell him go to bed .After that he's ready for a nap. He gets up in my chair with me and takes a nap. oh and I make not to get the laser near his eyes.
There is lots of evidence to show dogs that chase lazers can have some behavioural issues later @kateincornwall has lovely Nelly a rescue dog who this has happened to. It’s because they can’t catch the laser, they can become frustrated and anxious and become a bit obsessive and start chasing other shadows and reflections etc. https://thelabradorforum.com/threads/gentle-word-of-caution-laser-pointers.20984/ This is Kate’s thread about Nelly, Just a heads up for you if your dog likes chasing lasers, it probably means with the right encouragement he’ll enjoy games such as fetch x
Oh wow. Thank you so much for that . I had no idea. I definitely won't do it again. I'll get a fun fetch toy and work with that. Thanks again.
Yes , we have had , and still have awful problems with Nelly chasing lights, its a very deep rooted problem and one we didn't cause . She is a rescue girl , and has OCD issues , please please don't ever use laser lights x
