How the therapy dog trainers got involved in this is a mystery to me. I used to watch the "Dog Whisperer" but after I found out he used a choke collar I stopped watching it. Brady trained beautifully with the harness. |
Am I the only one confused because I thought this thread started by Alaska was about testing and collars required by the AKC?
