Hey Everyone,
We have received an influx in calls for service for dogs leaving their properties and chasing cyclists. What starts as a quick chase can quickly turn into a dangerous situation for everyone involved.
Dogs may chase cyclists for many reasons; prey drive, excitement, territorial behaviour or simply because something fast moving has caught their attention. Even a friendly, well trained dog can cause a cyclist to crash.
A secure yard is your first line of defense! 🏡
Regularly inspect fences, gates and latches for damage or gaps.
Ensure your gates close and latch properly, every time.
Check for areas where your dog may dig under or squeeze through the fencing.
Being a responsible dog owner means not only planning for the unexpected, it's also providing physical exercise and mental enrichment to help reduce unwanted negative behaviours. 🐶
