My 12 pound dog cannot wear a collar because of a trachea problem. How do I correct her without a collar?
Full Question:
I was wanting to buy your Basic Dog Obedience - Video 302 - 1 Hr. 50 Min. I have two small dogs 10 and 12 pounds. The 12 pound dog cannot wear a collar because of a trachea problem. Do you have any videos that would deal with this. How would I do a correction on her without a collar? I wouldn't think it would be possible to give a correction with a harness. I am doing positive food rewards with her now to get her to walk with the halter on. (She is very gentle, shy.)Thank You,
Terri
Ed's Answer:
The only trachea problems I have ever seen were from a choke collar. I explain in the training DVD that a choke collar (like a harness) is not a training tool. The choke collar is an abusive tool. A harness is an ineffective tool. Same thing really.
Get one of the mini prong collars we sell – this will not hurt your dog's neck. I explain how to use them on small dogs in the DVD.
