NEVER USE A CHOKER!! I don't even think they should be used on large dogs. In small dogs they are especially dangerous. Yorkies are prone to a condition called collapsed trachea. A choke collar can make this condition so much worse. ONLY use a harness, preferrably one that puts absolutely no pressure on the neck. The "EASY WALK HARNESS" is a good option for small dogs, as are step-in harnesses, as both put no pressure on the neck.
You are absolutely right and your husband is 100 percent WRONG. If you don't feel safe letting him walk her, take responsibility for her walks yourself.
