No trainer should recommend a choke collar or pinch collar to a Yorkie (or any other) owner. They are cruel and dangerous. Why would you want to stick prongs into your dog's neck? Why would you want to choke it? Regular collars for any breed are bad enough (and should never be used on small dogs). Any trainer that has to choke a dog or jab its neck to get it to submit is not a good trainer at all. These techniques should be saved for severely aggressive dogs where the next step is euthanasia. While I'm on the subject, I don't like Gentle Leaders either. They are a bad design. The collar part was way too tight on Ellie (and I didn't tighten it as much as the directions said). It sat in the right spot and it looked horrible. The nose piece can rub and irritate and then correction is given by jerking the head. I do not like them at all.
