Proper way to put a choke collar on a dog?

Answer 1

if the collar has two loops then:
1.)pull one loop through the other
2.)put the collar around the dogs head
3.)attach the leash to the loop you pulled through the ring and it should slide

Answer 2

When the collar is put into a circle, one end slides through the other.

When the dog is on your left, the part that slides through the other ring comes across the back of the dog's neck and and slides towards you.

A slipcollar should fit so that you can put 2 1/2 - 3 fingers between the dog's neck and the collar.

All these people whining that slip collars are cruel are ignorant.

You should learn how to use it. You NEVER put a steady pull on the collar. You use the leash to leash to give a sharp, fast snap on the collar.

When I taught obedience classes, I always put the collar around the owner's wrist and then showed them the difference between a pull and a snap by doing it to them. Got the point across real fast.

You should never leave a dog hooked or tied with a slip collar.

They are very useful for quick fast corrections when teaching heel, sit, stay etc.

For training purposes, a chain slip is better than nylon. The dog learns to listen to the rattle of the collar and move before the collar tightens like, say for example, you turn left, the collar rattles because the leash pressure changes, the dog hears the rattle and moves now.

Most dogs who want to charge ahead or lag behind do not respond to a flat buckle collar. They learn quickly that they can brace against it and win.

A pinch collar is the last-ditch collar for a dog who is so pig-headed and stubborn and STRONG that you can't stop them any other way to get the message across.

The head harness is silly. (1) it causes cervical whiplash. (2) The dog quickly learns that once it comes off, you have no control at all. (3) You can't teach "come" or other commands here the dog is out from you - and forget "fetch." I spend a lot of time retraining dogs whose owners have spent a small fortune for classes with the local nitwit "trainer" who insists on head collars. The owners end up calling me to come out on housecalls because puppy won't 'come' and merrily goes their own way.

Answer 3

If you walk with the dog on your left side then the ring that attaches to your leash should be on the part of the chain that goes straight across the back of the dog's neck, through the other ring, and ends up on the right. The ring that the chain passes through should be on the part of the chain that hangs straight down the right side of the dog's neck and goes under it. If you make it look like the letter "P" then tip it to the right so the straight side of the P goes across the top of the dog's neck and the very bottom "leg" of the P attaches to your leash. The rounded part would be hanging under the dog's throat. If you put it on this way the collar will instantly loosen when the dog is not pulling against his leash. Make sure there are a few (at least 4) inches of extra chain to allow for loosening. Reverse this if you walk the dog on your right side. If the chain is put on backwards then it will not slide freely and will not loosen when the dog is not pulling.

Answer 4

So that it looks like a P when you put it on, but they should never be worn except when being walked, and if you aren't familiar with how to use them properly they can be extremely dangerous. If you have a problem with your dog pulling, a Halti or Gentle Leader collar would be a much more effective way to stop the pulling, most dogs don't actually stop pulling when walked on a training collar, they just choke themselves anyways. In the end, the best solution is to talk to a trainer but that is not always feasible.

Answer 5

If you walk your dog with you stood to the left, hold the choker so it forms a P shape rotated 90 degrees clockwise, the loop goes over the head (opposite for you being stood to the left) this allows the choke chain to fall loose easily after it has tightened and ensures that the chain does not get stuck or trapped, allowing it to function as a audiable deterrent not a physical restraint.

Answer 6

I keep in mind gazing my grand-dad take his dogs for a stroll with making use of a choke collar. I concept it develop into barbaric and had a enormous argument with him. i develop into completely against ever making use of a choke collar, then i used to assessment a thank you to apply one effectively. they're somewhat stable education approaches. maximum education faculties use them and there's a pinch collar or despite like that. although they're mind-blowing for education and strolling yet they could desire to by way of no ability be left on around the domicile. they are in a position to break your dogs I have not have been given any theory approximately suffocating (i assume they could) them yet i understand they're in a position to harm the dogs's wind pipe. i could advise going and getting effectively knowledgeable with them.

Answer 7

Choke chains have been proven to cause permanent damage to dog's necks. They are very dangerous and there are many other non-cruel collars/harnesses available that serve different purposes.

Answer 8

I wonder whether you use a choke collar to stop your dog from pulling you along. If so, there are harnesses available that stop your dog from pulling. I have one for mine. the more he pulls the further his front paws are lifted from the ground. It works well and even my 5 year old granddaughter can contol him. Choke collars are cruel!! They belong in the dark ages.

Go here for an awesome dog training program http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?512a

Since it is obvious that you do not have a clue about obedience training, your services should be for free. You cannot train even an adult dog for 8 hours a day. About the most that can be done at any one time is 10 - 20 minutes and that is with an adult dog and not a puppy. The attention span on this baby is extremely short and training session should be no more than 10 minutes and twice a day. Additionally, there isn t going to be much learned if you will only be training for 5 days. Obedience training is cumulative and is done over a much longer period of at least several weeks to several months.
What you can charge is determined by your experience, reputation, and accomplishments and in a case like this, should also include guaranteed expectations. Just working with dogs over several years, is not the experience that is necessary to be a dog trainer. There are too many people who are putting that title to their name and fleecing the public. Don t be one of them.

Answer 10

I have to wonder why your using a choker collar. If your using it for training there are better items available. I don't recommend them because they are cruel. Don't know of anyone that would like to be choked while they walk.

Anyways here is a link that can help you out with that.
