Prong Collar Known as "power steering" for dogs, prong
collars look like a medieval torture device, but used correctly they are
rather benign. Try it on yourself first if you have any doubts. There
are dogs who are very touch sensitive who cannot tolerate a prong
collar. If you try it on your dog, and he completely shuts down, use one of
the other options instead.
Snap-around Collar A snap-around collar works much the same
as a choke collar with one important distinction. It does not have to slip
over the dog's head. It "snaps around" their neck instead. This allows for
proper fitting of the collar which is the same as described for the prong
collar in the link above. It is difficult to achieve this fit with a regular
choke collar because it has to be large enough to slide over the dog's head.
This is a good option for those dogs who cannot tolerate the prong collar.
Head Halter Head halters work similarly to reins on a
horse. They fit around the dog's face to give you more control on walks.
These are an excellent option for those who are uncomfortable using prong or
snap-around collars. Use what works for your dog. Although many
humans believe this option to be the kindest, many dogs disagree. Just as
some dogs cannot tolerate the prong, some dogs cannot tolerate wearing
something on their face. Try them all on and let your dog decide.
Harnesses Harnesses can actually encourage pulling. What do
you put on a dog when you want him to pull a sled? A harness! However, there
are some harnesses on the market designed to discourage pulling, such as the
no-pull harness. |
