When your dog sees that tiny wavy bead of light from a powerful 300mw laser pointer, nothing matters to him anymore to catch it. Unfortunately, there is nothing to "catch" because it is just an elusive beam of light. And, it turns out, the failure of your dog experiences to stop trying to catch it can actually be screwing up with that head.
Dogs instinctively chase these bright red laser pointer dots simply because they are in motion; stimulate their instinct for natural predation. The incessant laser beam moving taps into this prey reader and the dog cannot help himself - he has to hunt, according to Nicholas Dodman, professor of animal behavior at the Cummings School at Tufts University of Veterinary 、
If your dog enjoys hunting, Dodman recommends using the most tangible toys that he can actually grab. Or if you must use a laser toy, one solution is to hide treats in the room and sometimes the six child light land has been laser injured for the pleasure of surprising your puppy.
I feel awful. I have had two dogs. German Shepards. One eight months and one for 3 years. I got a laser pointer 5000mw and decided to have some fun. The dogs have gone mad chasing to have a great time. It was two days ago. He confused the old one. For two days now she's refusing to leave the room and hasn't stopped looking for that red dot. You just have to stare at the floor, ceiling and walls. Taking her on her walks comes off of it until she gets home. I feel so bad. :( Shes even refusing her favorite treats
