Yesterday I bought a dog choker chain, but it’s not for him. I bought it to lock my bicycle up when out and about.

Brownie is a rescue adoption, I don’t know how he was treated before we got him, but I can clearly see that he knows what a dog choker chain is.

Brownie is a very good boy and doesn’t need a dog choker, I literally only bought it to lock my bike up with a combination lock.

Anyone have any advice? Or is he just gonna have to get used to the occasional sound of chain clatter and ultimately realize it’s not for him?

    My dog wouldn’t get out of her bed the other morning. It was too the point I was laying on the floor hugging her and sobbing. I thought I’d get her a treat if this was it. As soon as my hand hit the box she was up faster than a lightning bolt. She’s been normal since, I guess she was just sleepy that day.

      I once paid thousands of euros for a vet clinic with the most sophisticated equipment…to get the wrong diagnosis. Animals are so hard to read and sometimes they just…have a bad day.
