A choke chain is metal-made with a sliding ringattached to the dogs leash. You may wonder why it was called assuch. The reason behind is the fact that there is no limit on thetightness these training collars can pull against a dogs neck.Therefore, there is a possibility to have him choked. Furthermore,it can cause some serious injuries like severely sprained necks,tracheal and esophageal damage, hind leg ataxia, etc.

If you doubt, there are documents to support them from hundreds ofveterinary practices related to choke chain-injuries. So chokechains must really be used appropriately. Experienced trainerswould have proper handling of the tool. But for the most part, anaverage person wont. Therefore it is important that in the verystart, you choose the right leash and collar for your dog.


The one called flat buckle collar could either be nylon or leather.It can be used for training and everyday use. It should fit stably,but make sure to allow looseness enough for you to insert at leasttwo fingers. Any looser than that may cause sliding off but tightermight cause the dogs discomfort.

Nylon which comes in various bright colors is good for dogs thatspend most time in water or mud. Meanwhile leather is durable andabsorbs oils from your dogs coat. Thus it is more flexible overtime. So choice of material mainly depends on personal preference.Also, the width of the collar must be appropriate for your dogssize. For instance, a Chihuahua, which is a small breed, doesntrequire a wide or heavy collar.

Another ideal device to prevent choking is a harness that goesaround the neck and rib cage. This is a great way to get rid ofthat choking tug of war whenever you want to pull your dog on acertain direction. They can also protect small dogs which havesmall airways from serious collar pressings.
