[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.

Like I said, there is equal risk of injury using a head collar.  It isn't better. You seem to have a problem. Maybe the head collar pleases your sense of aesthetics, but wrenching a dog's neck sideways isn't really a good idea.[/quote]
