I went to beginner obedience this week (without our dog) and was shown the "acceptable" training collars - none of which were harnesses. I voiced my concern about the trachea and the trainer said I just needed to get a regular buckle collar for him. I also purchased a gentle leader (highly recommended by my sister) and will take that to class (even though it wasn't one of the acceptable ones). Hoping for a positive experience as my Buddy is a real puller! |
