Collars are great for identification tags. Mario wears a cat collar (please don't tell him THAT!!) all the time with his tags and a harness for walking.
Mario came to us (from the local pound) with zero training, and loads of bad habits. I trained him to be our daughter's service dog.
Feedback is small treats and lots of love, positive praise, and firm no's. You must be very consistant, and very loving. That is mainly the only feedback a smart dog needs for any level of training.
I am curious, what type of feedback can be given using a collar anyway? Negative feedback with a collar is a bad idea with small breeds, and I cannot fathom how one could give positive feedback with a collar.
