Where is the guarantee that ill-mannered children will not pay attention to the pet and start teasing or even beating the dog? Sometimes even some adults demonstrate such behavior.

Homeless animals passing by can also act as enemies for your four-legged friend. A tied domestic dog will obviously be in a vulnerable position.

The opposite situation is also possible: the dog itself, which the owner left for some time, may begin to exhibit aggressive behavior.

Therefore, never tie your dog at the entrance of a store.

What should the owner do?

It turns out that you can't tie up a dog, or go into a store with it. What should you do?

The answer is simple: never combine walking your dog with visiting retail establishments.

Yes, this approach does not save time. But it helps to protect the animal.

Previously, dog owners were told what to do if their animal did not finish its food.
