A couple days ago a guy at the park had a laser pointer and found out that my dog goes berserk over them. I got a cheap one and played with her at the park the last two days, but I swear it's like drugs to this dog. I've clicked her for doing something and she won't eat her treat if she thinks the laser is out. These are treats she goes nuts for usually too. When the laser is gone, she gets kind of sad and sniffs around looking for it for a little while. The guy at the park was using it like a target stick in training his dog to do things, and I've been considering it, but I don't want to do it if it's dangerous/going to drive my dog insane. She doesn't act "normal" - is it just her "new favorite thing" and harmless (I NEVER SHINE IT NEAR HER EYES) or should I put it away for good?
Any constructive input - especially with reasons - is welcome. Thanks!
