I ordered a dominant dog collar and was wondering if I should be attaching the leash to her regular collar.
Full Question:
Hi there, I ordered one of these [Dominant Dog Collar] last night and was wondering if I should be attaching the leash to her regular collar as well as the dominant dog collar in case it breaks. If so, how do I go about doing this?Normally we don't use a leash, but the police have been cracking down on people walking their dogs without one, mostly due to the fact there are so many young people with pitbulls that have no training, and continue to cause problems. I normally don't and let our GSD, Heidi, come along without a leash, but after a few tickets I don't really have a choice until we move in 6 months. She does very well off leash, needs a bit more guidance on leash, which is why I heard about the dominant dog collar and decided it was a much more viable solution than a prong collar. Let me know what you think. Also if there is another piece of equipment we need to purchase in order to connect the DD collar to her regular collar, please provide a link.

If you are worried about the collar breaking you can clip the leash to the ring on the dominant dog collar and the ring on your regular collar. No special equipment required.
