Congratulations for the improvements made! |
A knowledgeable instructor won't use a collar on a breed of dog predisposed to CT and wouldn't recommend using one. I'd just pull my trainer aside and explain the problem, give them some literature from the Internet if they needed back-up and the trainer could explain it to the class if they so chose why an exception was being made. But I wouldn't take a chance of causing an injury to a dog that could be predisposed to CT genetically by breed, no matter what the trainer wanted.
