I dont want to sound like a bi*** or anything but I am a trainer also and your trainer seriously needs to do some more research about using collars. I was taught that small dogs are trained with harnesses. NOT COLLARS and we all know why. I am sorry but I would be the difficult parent and take some research in for her about the issues that these little dogs have with collars.

I know that harnesses teach a dog to pull, BUT, the way that I was told and taught to train was to teach the little dogs not to pull while in a harness. That is the whole point in paying a trainer.
