What kind of leash/collar is best?
We are very picky about the collars and leashes we recommend. The wider the better for the comfort of the dog and it should be made of a stiff material that does not collapse and become narrow if the dog were to pull against it. Narrow collars can cause damage to the trachea and cause too much discomfort. The same can be said for leashes. A ” – 1″ wide leash made of a double thick nylon is the best as it is more comfortable to your hand and it has greater weight with which to communicate. Light weight leashes are no good – it is like trying to take your dance partner around the floor by one hair – you have to work too hard to get results. By holding your partners ponytail you can do less and accomplish way more. Remember – always do the least amount possible to get results – it is what is fair to the dog.
