Don't Do Stupid Things With Your Dog

John Farnam's rules to keep you out of trouble:  

Don’t go to stupid places. 

Don’t associate with stupid people.  

Don’t do stupid things. 

Have a “normal” appearance. 

Be in bed by 10:00 PM (your own bed).  

Don’t fail the attitude test.

 

Do you do stupid things with your dog? I think the above rules are also good for people with dogs. I’d add a few myself…

 

Your dog doesn’t need to meet all other dogs or people in public

 

Don’t neglect socializing your dog prior to 12 weeks of age

 

Don’t let your dog be attacked by predators, human or otherwise

 

Don’t let your dog roam the neighborhood

 

Don’t let anyone mess with or threaten your dog

 

Don’t use off leash parks, but if you do, get out of there at the first sign of trouble

 

Don’t neglect to train your dog and get training yourself

 

Don’t let people do scary things to your dog

 

Don’t get a dog if you are not committed to follow through on that commitment

 

Don’t make your dog have a bad day

 

Don’t neglect your dog’s health
