Thanks for respecting my oppinion. I respect yours
I first got a collar because thas what I usually buy for a dog. I asked me breeder because of what I had read on here. She said a collar would be fine. I asked my vet to break things down for me he did.
Now I am working hard on training my boy and it really doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if they heel correctly then they wont pull away in a way that it would damage their neck or trachea. I didn't teach him by jerking his neck like most trainers teach for big dogs, I taught my own way and it took me a week for him to get the just. Why did i teach him that way? because of what I read on here.
Now that I want my dog to be an AKC obedience champ I am really working hard and a harness definitely doesn't fit in his training. This is why in all my posts i stressed that I made sure to teach him to heel properly first. However i do use a harness when i just want a relaxed walk.
Kisses!
