The fur savers are very attractive collars. But I did have a question on these. They appear to function similarly to a choke collar--Is this correct? Or am I missing something somewhere?
I thought chokes were a poor training device, or does this information only apply to the traditional chokes with the small links?
Fur savers are choke collars. They are required for trials and used on the dead ring. If used on the "live" ring they give an outright lousy correction because of the link length and I know very few people who actually use them AS a training collar.
They don't save coat either! I have tried all the different link sizes. Best bet for saving hair is a rolled leather collar or nothing at all.
oh so you put it on dead ring and it's basically like a regular collar. Coool. I think they are good looking collars, I just questioned the choke aspect of them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
I thought about this post, and I have never clipped my lead on to the dead ring or the live ring of a fur saver. I realized that it is what it is. Just a fancy looking no good for nothing collar a dog has to wear on trial day with no pratical application. I always clip my lead on to one of the links. JMO
I leave a Fur Saver on my Malinois (DP Police K9) all of the time. The others are correct, they serve very little value for training. I like them because you can quicly grab the dog, and clip the leash on any link and go. I dont use either of the rings, just a link.
