Dog Collars and Leashes |
Dog Collars and LeashesDog collars and leashes are a vital component when the decision is made to buy a dog as a family pet, for security reasons or if training an existing pet dog or pup. As with any pet accessory, there has to be a fair amount of thought put into to ensure that the dog collar or leash is right for your dog. There a quite a number of different types of restraining tools available from the simple corded leash to the state of the art no bark dog collars, shock collars for dogs, even dog leashes that illuminte in the dark for walking your pet on a cold winters night. But for simplicity sake we will talk about practical dog collars and leashes for your pet dog used in training. Firstly there is the chain slip or choker chain collar. While these appear to be cruel they are a useful tool when in the hands of a trained person. These collars simply clasp around the dogs throat when a quick jerk is given on the leash. Another type of dog leash is the Martingale collar which is similar to the choker collar in terms of how it works but it has a mechanism built into to prevent actually choking the dog while the break away collar is for everday use. This is accepted as being the best dog collar while treating the dog humanely. This is where your ethics will come into play when selecting your dog leash or collar. Using custom dog collars for your dog training is also a suitable collar to use. Ranging in length from four feet and up to eight feet, these leashes come in leather, nylon or similar strong materials. A popular type of dog leash used around many neighbourhoods is the stock standard retractable leash. This allows your dog to walk in front of you up to a distance of 30 feet but as the dog slows down, the leash retracts into the housing. A very versatile leash for any sized dog. Buying dog collars and leashes is a must but consult your pet store assistant to ensure you get the appropriate dog training collar for your dog. |
