Alaskayorkie- i think for training purposes, using a collar ups the sucess by like 400%- i use a harness when i walk Siri, but for training a few times a week we use the collar. its not like im tugging at him or anything, so i dont think its harming him. and once hes trained, i hope to not need to use it, so if someone gives ya crap, send em my way too
Thanks for having my back, YorkieLover! That's what they say in class. Of course, they also suggested using a prong collar, and YTers rightfully threatened to tar and feather me for considering it. Eddie doesn't pull badly, and I never 'correct' harshly. I always worry, though.
