That is a really stupid rule!!!

First: That can hurt the neck!

Second: How good is the dog's going to performed if he isn't use to the leash?

Not impress!!!

Who come up with those stupid rules.

AKC should know better!

It's not placed on the trachea and dogs in AKC events only use slip leads.

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.

Am I the only one confused because I thought this thread started by Alaska was about testing and collars required by the AKC?

Guess I came in during the middle of these posts somewhere so didn't get the whole thing.

No I take that back. I posted about it myself because my dog before Brady had tracheal collapse.
