Full Podcast: https://lovethenorth.ca/article/260717-are-you-hurting-dog-truth Jill from PetSave takes a closer look at something many dog owners may not think twice about — the collar, leash, or training tool they use every day. She discusses concerns around prong collars and electronic collars, how certain tools can cause unnecessary discomfort or even contribute to injury, and why proper training, exercise, and humane alternatives can often produce better results. The conversation also covers Easy Walk harnesses, Martingale collars, small-dog safety, leash control, and why matching the right equipment to the dog matters. The goal isn’t just controlling your dog — it’s keeping them safe, comfortable, and properly trained. The episode also explores PetSave’s work with Northern Ontario community dogs, including rescue partnerships, spay and neuter efforts, veterinary access, and helping animals displaced by wildfires. #PetSave #DogTraining #DogSafety #ResponsiblePetOwnership #AnimalWelfare #DogRescue #Sudbury #NorthernOntario #LoveTheNorth
