I just finished reading a book by Jack Volhard who is supposed to be the "trainer of all trainers".
He recommended if you have your dog wear a collar that it fit snug way up high on the neck right behind the ears! It would be above the trachea then.
We are in the processing of teaching Muffie & Missy "place" for when the doorbell rings. But sometimes even WE forget (Oh-no)!
The main reason our two Yorkies wear a collar in the house is because it has their ID attached to it. The ID tags we have are the ones that you push the collar end through both ends of the tag. The ID tag fits flat with the collar rather than dangling on the neck.
We ALWAYS remove the collar or harness when they go into the crate or the cage. |
