Dog Obedience Collar
A dog obedience collar is a great aid when it comes to teach your dog proper behavior and obedience. To start we must first learn how to choose a collar that works for us and is comfortable for our dogs. Out there in the market there are different types of dog collars, in any case try to follow the rule of choosing one that doesn”t hurt or choke your dog in any way.
Specially, I would recommend keeping out of chain collars or well “choke collars”. These collars tighten to correct your dog, but there have been reported numerous cases of injured dogs. It is actually very easy to hurt a dog with these collars.
Other type of collar that should be avoided are prong collars. These are collars designed ot imitate the way a mom corrects her pups. When the dog needs correction, you pull the collar and the prongs dig into the skin. As humans again, we can easily hurt our dog this way.
So what are the recommended dog obedience collars?
The most recommended collar for dog training is the head collar or “halti”. This is a slightly weird looking collar that goes around the dog muzzle and to the back of the head. Despite what it looks like, it doesn”t restrain your dog in any way. Instead, it helps you control the moving forward motion of the dog, so when they pull, they collar makes their head gently turn their head towards you.
Other recommended collar is the “easy walk harness”. This is a collar that helps you gain a lot of control over your dog movements, and it helps a lot when your dog is pulling. The collar is placed at the chest area, so when the dog pulls, it redirects its motion.
