You should be able to train your dog just find on a harness and regular nylon or leather leash. Just avoid retractable leashes at all costs!

I suggest if your trainer wants you to teach your dog basic commands with a collar at that size, you need to find another trainer.
I'm curious to know what is wrong with retractable leashes? I use one and would like to know the advantages/disadvantages you find with training.

Thanks.
