Check, check, 123?

Take the time this week to check all your dog's equipment for safety, fit, and function.  Make sure that collars, harnesses, and leashes are snugly fitted and don't rub or cause irritation, have no frayed or chewed sections, and that all buckles, snaps, and fasteners are intact.  Check tags to make sure your contact information is still clearly visible and hasn't rubbed off or become obscured.  You need to be able to count on this equipment to keep you and your dog safe in an emergency, so make sure it's up to the task.  If you have questions about the appropriateness, fit, or safety of a piece of equipment for your dog, your trainer will be happy to help take a look with you.
