The spoon technique may not be new, but spreading awareness about this trick could keep puppers everywhere safe.

Besides just protecting your pooch, it also makes your dog look silly, which is pretty great in and of itself.

But if you're not feeling up to the DIY challenge of simply attaching a large wooden spoon to a harness you can always buy a fancy leather model for $33 online.

Although the spoon version is way more hilarious.
