Some dogs are prone to developing obsessive behaviors from playing with a laser. Not all dogs will do this, it depends on the dog-- some have natural tendancies towards that type of thing but other dogs can play with a laser and never get obsessed.
This is true with some cats as well. I have one cat who gets very focused on the laser, and she will also get focused (or chase) light or reflections on the wall and shadows. However she did those things before I ever played with her with a laser (as I know she wasn't introduced to a laser before I got her because I've has her since she was 3 weeks old.)
I do sometimes play with a laser with my cats, and I do this when Bianca is in the room. She'll glance at the laser dot if it comes near her but she never tries to chase it.
