| Slip Collar? They will not allow me to use a harness in agility puppy training and have suggested a slip leader type collar. Isn't this like a choke collar???? They will let me use a harness in obedience. Just not the agility class. They said it may get caught on something?? |

| Hi, new here and this is my first post. You may try a martingale collar, they slip over the head and have some flex. |

Fight the rules only we can change the things that for our dogs are wrong. For the basics of agility I'd go harness and after the basics are in and she/he will work along with you nothing on in the ring at all to get caught. I have done agility in a harness as well as a head coller. But I be raising the roof and verbally dropping a few trainers if they even suggested to put a choke or slip on my dog outside a confermation show ring. JL
