I think our dog Brownie is a little scared today

Yesterday I bought a dog choker chain, but it’s not for him. I bought it to lock my bicycle up when out and about.

Brownie is a rescue adoption, I don’t know how he was treated before we got him, but I can clearly see that he knows what a dog choker chain is.

Brownie is a very good boy and doesn’t need a dog choker, I literally only bought it to lock my bike up with a combination lock.

Anyone have any advice? Or is he just gonna have to get used to the occasional sound of chain clatter and ultimately realize it’s not for him?

How old is he? LOL, we don’t know for sure, we just guessed him at 3 years old last year when we rescued him, so going by that initial estimate, he’s about 4, I guess…
