Seeing as this came up in Al's vid of Elvis post, before everyone gets carried away there :lol: I decided to open a post here about collars.
Mike said he didn't like chokers. Ok we will take it from there then :lol:
A lot of people in Holland use a flat collar or choker. Probably Selena can back me up on this one, but you hardly see any members of the general public walking round with prong collars let alone e-collars. I have prong collars, but just havent needed to use them on my lot. Except Ascha ...she has one for bite work and OB, but other than that the rest have chokers. They react good to them and I have only used them a few times for big corrections. All I need to do now is a soort of \"tick tick\" effect using the leash to tick on the choker and they realise they have to watch out.
Im not anti e-collar by no means but I have seen people use them here when they didnt even know the front end from the as* end of the dog :lol:
If the correction is badly timed by people who know zilch about what they are doing I often wonder what they are in for in the future. I do think they are a great method to train though.
