Why would you want to choke your dog when collars or harnesses that offer necessary security are available that don't choke your pet and run the risk of serious injury to them ?
I dig. How do know I got rid of the choke collar?Why would you want to choke your dog when collars or harnesses that offer necessary security are available that don't choke your pet and run the risk of serious injury to them ?
Providing comfort...they know.My Dad in his final hours. He loved canines and had them for most his life. He always said the word "dog" understated their greatness. He passed in our house. All three of our rescue dogs were with him in his final hours, by their choice. He loved them like grandchildren, and they loved him like he was their grandpa, aka "GP".
Harley was our Great Dane. He's on the floor with Lizzie (border collie). Amber (pit bull) is up in bed with him. We rescued all three of them.
You can see the sadness in Harley and Amber, losing their GP. Lizzie always had a smile on her face. It was the only face she could make.

Glad to see that you got rid of that choke chain
My Grandson has an American Bulldog and uses this. Without she will pull anyone down the street.Man, you would really hate me...I run this on my pups. They only have it on when we are going on walks, and it is night and day between using this, and letting them choke themselves out by pulling on a traditional collar as we walk. Such a wonderful training tool!

A properly used prong collar is absolutely safe and humane--just never leave it on when you're not walking the dog. The choke collars like the one pictured earlier are dangerous--and painful.Man, you would really hate me...I run this on my pups.

I agree 100%...the trouble is the perception from folks when I take them out to walk. People assume they are mean beasties and look scared. They are just hyper hunting dogs who want to run.A properly used prong collar is absolutely safe and humane--just never leave it on when you're not walking the dog.
