Is it ok to put a choke collar on me 5 month old CC?
Any suggestions/experience?
Thanks!

IMPROPER FIT OF A CHOKER CHAIN

A PROPER FIT OF A CHOKER CHAIN

THIS ONE IS TO BIG ON THE DOG BUT IT IS CORRECT PLACEMENT

To be honest with you YES you can use a choker on a 5 month old CC as long as used properly and fitted correctly

 

[Duetsche_Doggen]

Yes, you can but like Deb posted placement is everything.

I wont us one again. I was stupid and left a dog unattended with one on. I lost her because she got caught on a tree with it.

I have always used one for walking purposes only. I've always been afraid to leave one but when used properly they are great.

I use a choke collar for Boone only when I take him out for a walk. He's still learning to heel, and there are too many distractions for him otherwise. He doesn't pull on it (yay!) but I make sure I take it off when at home

I wouldnt recommend one on a puppy...you can train just as well without one IMO.

 

[musicdeb]

I agree with MM.

 

[NeSaxena]

Hmmm.. Okay. Collar off!

I ve been doing very very good training with the leather collar, so i guess ill keep it that way for now

The way it was explained to me was why go right from option a) to option c) or d) with a young puppy? If you go from flat collar to choke/prong what option do you have after that? We haven't even put a martingale on our shepherd puppy yet. We're still trying the flat collar although well probably move to martingale soon.

I waited until Stone was at least 7-8 months before I introduced the prong. Until then I just used his regular flat buckle.

I think it depends on the dog but everyone is right in that you need to know how to fit/use it properly. It was my goal to be able to stay at a flat collar and I have trained accordingly and until Ruger turned into Houdini, I did. He now wears a martingale when we are out and about. He walks wonderfully and I don't need it for pulling or anything but he liked the idea of standing still and then yanking his head out of the collar. Amazingly enough, he didn't go anywhere.......I think he just liked proving he could. After that when he felt like he wanted to be free, he would just houdini himself out. A martingale works well with him because he just needed to know that he couldn't pull out and he is fine now. LOL Just depends on the dog and the bahavior.

Prong Collar! Learn to use it properly! It was easy to train my Corso to heel on a prong and they don't collapse like a choke collar does. One of the best purchases I've ever made and she loves it!
