Protect Your Pet With a Safety Collar
Terrible accidents can happen to our wonderful pets by not being cognizant involving their pet collars. Pet collars are for pet outings, and walks with their pet parent, or around the house. Identification tags are 
attached to the pet’s collar with medical information, pet’s name, name of pet parent and telephone number. Some tags contain their veterinarian’s name and phone number as well. If your pet were to get lost, the necessary information would be on their collar for locating their pet parent with information to notify them where to find their pet. Pet collars should not be too tight around their neck, and you should be able to put two fingers between the collar and the dog’s neck.
However, there should be precautions taken if your pet has their own kennel and/or crate. This is their place of sanctuary but accidents can happen. Accidents have happened to pets that were in there kennel and/or crate and strangled themselves. Trying to turn around in their quarters that are too small is a dangerous situation. The size should be measured according to the size of your dog. Their tags or collars can hook on something and cannot get loose. This is not something you as a pet parent want to see. Pet parents need to be aware of such a problem, so a dog safety collar, especially a dog breakaway collar should be part of their accessories. It is not such a big deal to have several collars anyway. Use the breakaway collar when they are in 
there kennel/crate, or even wear it around the home, just in case. Dog breakaway collars are affordable and could avoid a catastrophe, but these types of collars are not be used to socialize your dog or out for a walk. They may become excited over other dogs or even sometime humans and break away. Dogs can detect danger. Depending on the surroundings where they play or wherever you feel comfortable will relieve the pet parent from worrying about the safety of their dog. Seems as though there are precautions on everything these days, so by using the correct dog safety collar at the appropriate times, your pet will be safe. One other thing to consider is if your dog’s eyesight is not as good, a lighted collar is sure handy for walking your dog at night, and vehicles will be aware of you and your dog. Be Happy!
Hiking with Your Dog Can Be Fun
Hiking has become popular in many states, and pet parents want to take 
their dogs along for fun and exercise. Sometime just getting away from the normal routine of everyday life is rejuvenating, for both you and your pet. There are many wonderful experiences in observing nature and breathing fresh air, but there are precautions that need addressing. One concern in being safe is not to use your flexi-leads for hiking. Your dog could get tangled up and cause more concern than it is worth. Use common sense and never allow your dog to run loose if the area has rules regarding unleashed dogs. If free running is permissible, training your dog to be obedient to all of your commands will pay off. If not, there could be a real problem. Just be safe and have fun.
Make sure all of your dog’s veterinary records are up to date, and all identification tag information has the current pet parents’ phone number, name of dog, rabies tag, and your cell phone number. Attach the tags to the dog safety collar or their dog harness. Losing your dog is an awful experience and should be a concern for taking precautions. Take water along for you and your dog to prevent dehydration, but do not allow them to 
drink out of streams, lakes, or ponds. The water can be contaminated with parasites or toxins of some kind. Don’t forget to take along baggies to clean up after your dog. Do not think just because you are out in the woods they can poop anywhere, and you do not have to pick up after them. When your hike is over and you go home, be sure and check your dog for insect bites, ticks, and other crawling insects. You want this to be a joyful adventure for just the two of you, so just take care and observe. Be Happy!

Collar and Leash Training For Your Puppy
A dog collar is first, and then a little later, comes a leash, which is different 
lengths, and depending on the strength of your dog may be a factor in considering the style for control. A dog leash is necessary in walking your dog and will eventually cause excitement when they see their pet parents remove the leash from its resting place. They will associate what it means, and what is its purpose. Give your puppy time to grow before introducing them to a dog leash. Usually around 4 to 6 weeks old will be a good time for training.
Gently secure a dog safety collar around their neck being careful not to fasten it too tight. The rule of thumb is usually tightening it to where you can insert two fingers between the collar and their neck. Let your puppy get use to wearing it, because once a collar is attached, they will always have it on. That is not saying you cannot remove it once in awhile, but remember this collar will have identification tags if your puppy was to get lost. Clip a 
leash on their dog safety collar and let them walk around with it on. Leave it on for a while, and then remove it. Do not let your puppy play with it; this will detract from what its purpose is. After awhile start all over again, inside the home, or go outside in your back yard, but let them get use to pulling it around. Puppies can run very fast at their early stage of life, so preparing them to a leash will protect them and maintain their security. When you think your puppy is ready, take hold of the leash and try to walk with them. Continuous training in walking your puppy with their leash will gradually come into place, and you and your dog can practice taking a short walk down the street. Beware of other dogs that may want to interfere, so caution must be realized that your new trainee is not able to cope with this situation right away. Practice, Practice. Be Happy!
