In this episode I talk about training collars. Are they right for you? And if so, what kind of training collar do you choose for your dog, and just as important... what kind to choose for your dog/owner combination? For those who may be opposed to the idea of a training collar, I still urge you to listen. After training hundreds of dogs I have some ideas to share that might help with your decision on the matter.
Today\'s episode is sponsored by\\xa0The Swiftest. Instead of doing all of the research yourself on what type of pet insurance to buy, consider clicking this link to rely on their extensive research. It\'s also a great way to support the show!
Martingale Collar: basic low level training collar.\\xa0At a minimum I use a martingale collar like the one at this Amazon link (no plastic clasps, no chain loops)\\xa0
Here\\u2019s a link to find out more about this type of collar on Amazon. \\xa0They also have them in most Pet stores. \\xa0 FYI \\u2013 if you read the reviews of these collars, you\\u2019ll read some from people who left them on their dogs, while they were home alone all day, and they got the collar caught on things and choked themselves. \\xa0So \\u2026 don\\u2019t do that \\u2013 problem solved. Note: make the size selection that is appropriate to your dog.\\xa0
Herm Sprenger Chain Collar: Medium level upgrade for more rambunctious dogs (again, more info on this at this link)
Starmark Plastic Training Collar: Medium plus level of collar. (Note \\u2013 these come with a redundant line slip collar that you use with this collar to guard against the possibility of an improperly fitted link coming apart and separating while you\\u2019re training \\u2013 be sure to use this redundant safety collar when you\\u2019re using\\xa0
the Starmark collar.)\\xa0 Click here to view on Amazon.com.

Herm Sprenger Prong Collar: The highest level of leverage and the collar makes it easiest for you to manage your dog in training and on walks. \\xa0We generally work our way out of this collar as a dog\\u2019s proficiency indicates that it\\u2019s not necessary anymore.
Here is the metal collar link http://amzn.to/29842kW
And an alternative http://amzn.to/29bLHVb
Note: I often use a redundant slip collar (like the one indicated above as an alternative) when I use a prong collar. \\xa0Because this training collar has separate movable pieces to it, there\\u2019s a possibility (usually human error) that sometimes results in the collar coming apart while training.
The redundant slip collar assures you that you don\\u2019t lose your dog if this happens. Also, it\\u2019s worth stating that they have decided to name this slip collar a \\u201cdominant dog collar\\u201d? I\\u2019m not really sure why. \\xa0It functions just as well for nondominant dogs that happen to have a training collar break and want to run across a busy road to play with another dog \\u2026 guess they figured the name sounded cool?\\xa0
