[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here with a happy update

I saw my friends and they stopped using the choke collar!  They are finding success with the gentle leader.  They agreed that I was right and they never liked to use the choke collar.

All is good[/quote]

A choke chain or prong collar is kinder to the dog than the gentle (not) leader.

Poor dog.  [/quote]

Thats your opinion.  Prong collars damages the throat.[/quote]
Different poster. There is a very real possibility of injury to the dog's neck using a head collar of any type.  Consider for a minute the mechanism by which they work and you will see what I mean. If that doesn't work, a quick Google search will clarify.  Everyone has to make choices based on their needs and the level of risk they are willing to assume.[b] I don't think[/b] a properly fitted prong used as directed by a decent trainer would be a worse choice than a head collar.[/quote]\

op here. The bolded is your problem.  You don't think.

OP, you have succeeded in rescuing this dog's throat and also making him miserable from his snoot loop.  You've done your good deed.  Now you can pat yourself on your back.  But don't watch the dog being walked, the dog's misery will hurt your eyes.[/quote]

Op here.  I have done nothing.  The owners of the dog chose this method.  They just told me.  Why do you think I am responsible?    And i will never go walking with them as we are friends but dont live close enough.  I was updating people.    Sorry you were triggered.
