OK yeah my gut told me not to use a choke, but I just wanted to get the opinion of others as well.. I to dont like using a collar of any kind on Athena or my Shih Tzu Zeus, only harnesses. I do put collars on them loosely, but only for identification tags if they got out the door or something, I never attach a leash to them or pull on them in any way. In fact I took Athenas collar off before her training started just so the trainer would not be tempted to use it. Athena is microchipped to, but I still have to get Zeus micro chipped. The trainer does not insist on using the choke collar, its just what she usually uses. but she didnt refuse to train her on a harness. |
