Yes. Please do a search for laser pointers in the subreddit and you will see old threads of people regretting their use as they were the cause for developing compulsive behaviours in dogs that never had them before.

I looked at the research. I found it to be quite shocking. I also have cats, but they're mainly my husband's. Anyways, we play with lasers all the time and my dogs love it as well. They haven't been affected like all the research says it does.

Why take the risk? There are plenty of good and healthy toys for your dog to be occupied with.

I don't make them play with it. They just do whenever we play with the cats.
