There is no way Id use a collar ever with the risk of collapsed trachea. Have you ever read any of the collapsed trachea threads? Theres no cure for it,it can progressively get worse, and sometimes the breathing gets so bad the kindest thing you can do is put them down. Yorkies are already predisposed to getting collapsed trachea even if they have never had a collar on so why increase that risk by using a collar. There is no training that is worth that risk and they can be trained not to pull with a harness. My chachi used to be a bad puller and in time he learned how to walk without pulling. You shouldnt be allowing him to walk in front of you untill he learns not to pull. You keep a short leash and keep it at your side. I hope you reconsider about using a collar and if yout not convinced read some of the collapsed trachea threads in the sick and injured section they will break your heart |
