Who has seen this advert?? This is incredibl cruel! Dogs dont feel safe when lifted off the floor and feel high anxiety when paws arent touching floors. Please, if you care, dont put your little dogs/puppies through this!

When we welcome a dog into our lives, we must promise to treat them with love and respect. This powerful image carries a straightforward truth that every pet owner should consider: love them, treat them like family, or don’t get them at all. A dog’s loyalty is unparalleled, and they deserve to be cherished for their entire lives.

Taking in a dog is more than just providing food and shelter—it’s about nurturing a bond built on trust and care. If you aren’t prepared to offer your heart and home for the long haul, then a dog isn’t the right choice for you. These animals depend on us, and their trust in us should never be taken lightly.

Let’s commit to treating our dogs as family members—because they certainly treat us that way. No excuses, no half-measures. Love and respect are non-negotiable. 🐾❤️

The harms of shock collars in dog training are emphasized in a USD 1.9 million dollar settlement in a class action lawsuit.

The dog who is scared of crowds, shut down in a coffee shop.

The dog who is barking and lunging, creeping along in a prong collar.

These dogs have no agency, none.

They may have struggled or protested a few times and given up.

These dogs may have realised that they will be touched, picked up, taken to places they don't feel safe and no-one even considers how they feel about it.

Our dogs need agency.

They need autonomy.

They need emotional safety.

They need consideration.

And they need us to see them - really see them - as the sentient beings they are.

I have talked to every client I have about this very thing. Read the story below and be aware that this kind of incident happens all the time (which is why our dogs are collar free.)
😢🐾😢🐾😢🐾😢🐾

“Yesterday morning Charlie and Dory were downstairs wrestling and playing while I was upstairs getting ready for work. All of a sudden I hear what sounds like an awful dog fight. I ran downstairs to find what looks like Charlie at Dory’s throat and Charlie yelping like a banshee. I'm yelling for Dory to 'release' but realized as I got closer that she can't because her lower jaw was stuck in Charlie’s collar!

These 2 quite frequently wrestle and grab at each other's scruff and collars...what i think happened was that Charlie got Dory’s collar and Charlie rolled causing the collar to cinch around Dory’s jaw, and in turn practically cut off Dory’s airway 💔 Dory was so scared that she soiled herself!! 😭

I was able to calm them both, get my fingers under the collar and screamed for David and Jared who were still sound asleep 😴 (how they slept through this is beyond me!) I told Jared to grab our kitchen sheers and after what seemed like an eternity he was able to cut through the collar releasing both dogs!!

Today, both dogs are fine and seem to be back to themselves, other than the whites of Dory’s eyes being blood red. (We went to the vet and got her checked out)

🥺 I don't even want to imagine what could have happened if we weren't home!!

You do you...but my dogs will never again wear a collar when unattended!
Collar strangulation is very REAL and happens more often than you think!.”

Please share this story so we can inform more pet parents and possibly save lives.

Also, please be aware of tags. They can get caught in vents and between the slats of your deck.😢
