I am thinking of enrolling my 2 y.o in obedience class. He could use the socialization as well as the manners...and he needs something to keep him busy!!

When I trained my last dog(quite some time ago) I used a choke chain...and it was a much bigger dog....and a much different time. Since then, we've adopted more humane ways to get dogs to do what we want. With yorkies being so small AND there being a risk of a collapsed trachea, I would think any kind of choker would be a bad idea....So...what kind of collar/device is best to use for obedience training??
