One of the things that we have to buy as soon as the furry arrives home is a necklace, but there are many on the market and, if it is the first time that we live with a dog, it can be very difficult to choose one because there are many models. Choosing one that is comfortable for you is very important, since it will depend, to a large extent, whether the walk is more or less pleasant.
For this reason, I'm going to tell you how should my dog's collar beIn this way, both of you can enjoy the time you are abroad much more.
Types of dog collars
Although there are many types of collars, in reality they can be grouped into two, which are the training or the walk.
Training Collars
They are also called punishment or choke collars. Until not long ago, and in fact still today, they are used to "train" dogs that pull on the leash. But it is a way of training that hurts the animal, because these collars are made in such a way that, when it pulls, it strangles it. Now you can also find models with spikes, which not only tightens the neck but also causes injuries.
Collars for a walk »normal»
They are the most recommended. They can be made of nylon or leather, and having a buckle the dog is prevented from being harmed. Of course, if you pull on the strap, it could dig into your neck, so it is very important to teach him to walk correctly or even attach the strap to a nylon harness that takes care of it, such as the Sense-ible. This harness, from my own experience, I can tell you that it is very useful, since it prevents the dog from pulling so much on the leash and, in addition, the tension generated when pulling does not fall on the neck, but on the widest part of the chest.
Which necklace is the most advisable?
If we take into account everything that has been said so far, the collar has to be comfortable and weigh as little as possible, like nylon ones. With it your friend will feel as if he or she is not wearing anything 😉.
