Laser toys are also bad for a dog's psyche, here's what Dr. Karen Becker has to say about them:
Dogs instinctively chase laser beams simply because they move, and movement triggers the canine prey drive. In fact, when a laser dot stimulates your dogās predatory systems, he canāt NOT chase it.
According to animal behaviorist Dr. Nicholas Dodman, laser toys are probably not a good idea for pets ā especially dogs ā because chasing the beam can become an obsession from which behavior problems develop. Never catching the āpreyā can actually mess with a dogās psyche.
This happened with our girl Banks, she obsessed on the laser to where we had to throw it away ... she would sit and drool starting at the cabinet we kept it in.
