I agree with the above. No choke chains, especially on small dogs!

Given what we know now about the effectiveness of postive training, I seriously doubt that I would attend a class that used choke chains on any dog.

As for being told that they won't be used for corrections, choke chains automatically provide punishment: dog pulls = he gets choked. What could be more of a "correction" (punishment)?
