While perusing the collars in PetSmart, I spotted a lady with a beautiful Collie. The dog was bouncing around in the aisle, extremely excited to out and about. I walked over to admire the dog but was dismayed to see the lady was looking at choke collars.
Her dog was a handful so I could understand the desire to get him under control. I tried to sound helpful instead of bossy when I informed her I had great success with the no-pull harness hanging across the aisle. It was not a lie. My Dalmatian was notorious for pulling on walkies. Place a no-pull harness on her, though, and the pulling stopped.
Fortunately, a PetSmart trainer approached us. I left her with the trainer. I really hope she purchased the no-pull harness. I hate choke collars.
If you are using one, please consider other options. In my opinion, choke collars are not humane. Most people do not even know how to properly put on the collar. Do you really want to take a risk of accidentally choking the dog? Other options are available if you look around.
