A DOG trainer has revealed the massive mistake many pet owners make when walking their pooch – and it could cause a lot of serious damage.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

So if you\u2019ve got a dog, you\u2019ll need to listen up and pay attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

A dog trainer from Dog Point USA<\/span> explained that people often hold their dog\u2019s lead incorrectly, which could lead to big injuries including broken bones.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sharing his advice on social media, the dog expert simply said: \u201cDon\u2019t do this with your leash.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then explained: \u201cIf you have a leash with a hand loop, and you put your hand in it and hold it like this [around your wrist], and your dog takes off after a squirrel, any other small animal, or lunges for any other reason, you run the risk of hurting the bones in your hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can break and you can hurt your shoulder when you get jerked forward."<\/p>\n

The dog whizz then revealed how to correctly hold a lead, as he added: \u201cSo here\u2019s what you do – where the two ends come together into one and form a triangle, you put that in the palm of your hand, you cross it, and now if you bend your fingers slightly you have a firm grip.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you need to let go for any security reason, or safety reasons, you straighten your fingers and your hand can come out and you\u2019re not trapped.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people who use their leash like this [incorrect way], annually, get hurt.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people get hurt in a lot of different ways – they get dragged over the ground and have scuff marks, they get their fingers hurt, their bones and their palms break, their shoulders get hurt.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can simply avoid that by doing this [holding your lead correctly].<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is super important for people who have dogs<\/span> that are 100 lbs and above.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen that dog takes off, there\u2019s very little you can do to hold back that dog, depending on your body weight, size and strength.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou could be in some deep trouble if you are trapped in your leash.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo if you have a large weight dog, hold your leash like this [correct way] and you\u2019re always safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @dogpointusa, has clearly left many stunned, as it has quickly amassed 26,800 views.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One person said: \u201cVery useful tip.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another added: \u201cI learnt that the hard way, my dog took off after a squirrel and I ended up on my face.\u201d<\/p>\n

A third commented: \u201cYou shouldn't be walking a dog over which you don't have total control or which can physically overpower you……..especially out in public.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
