Will suddenly pulling leash backward hurt my dogs neck? General Dog Discussions
Yesterday I was putting on this flexi(retractable) leash on my 10 week old doberman so that she can have more freedom while trying to get him use to the collar and leash on. I only uses it in my backyard, out on walks I use a short leash. But then last night, she was extremely hyper and keeps running around crazy, I accidentally clicked the retract button while she was running forward in a high speed, and that pulled her back suddenly and made her fall backward on the grass, she doesn't seem to be hurt and keeps on playing and eating fine, but I am just worried if it could cause any internal damage to her neck or something ?I'm now planning to use it again, I'll just use normal leash from now on. I never used the flexi leash before, but since I want to give her some freedom to roam around backyard I thought I might aswell try it, looks like I'm wrong... Yeah she's eating, drinking and playing fine, being her normal self.I mean I'm not planning to use it again, not now planning to use it again lol
