I have all kinds of collars, chokers, half-choke collars, (I almost never use them though, I never attach leash to them if they are able to choke him, the half choke ones, they are long enough for him so they don't choke him if he's pulling, I like using them inside cause they aren't tight on it but if he pulls it gets that tight that he can't get out of them, still they wont choke him).
I dont have a harness that fits over clothes, if it's hot outside and dry then I use his spiked leather harness, I have to find a harness that fits over his clothing, so if he's wearing clothes I attach the leash to the collar, but he only walks at heel all the time then and doesn't pull much.

I have bunch of collars, also some harnesses, and a bunch of leashes :P
Just so you know they can develope collapsing trachea which could either require them to have to get a surgery that may or may not work or require them to eventually be put to sleep because they are not receiving enough air. It is very very dangerous to use collars on a small dog with a leash or tie out.
