| LorraineW22 | 05-01-2009 05:11 PM | Everything I've read about choke chains and prong collars is that they are dangerous even for a large dog. I think it is cruel. Brady went for obedience training and the trainer suggested I put the harness on him after I told him about the dog before him who had trachael collapse really bad. I originally posted the note about using a harness and this was meant for the average person who takes their dog for a walk and it doesn't matter to the Average person what the rules are for training a therapy dog. How the therapy dog trainers got involved in this is a mystery to me. I used to watch the "Dog Whisperer" but after I found out he used a choke collar I stopped watching it. Brady trained beautifully with the harness. |
