Choker Collar
Are choker collars cruel?
I work at a pet hotel and I always see dogs come in with choker collars, pinch collars, harnesses, and gentle leaders. I've always considering choker collars and pinch collars cruel, especially if used on an every day basis and not just for training. Isn't the reason for them to get your dog to walk well on a leash? They never seem to learn from a choker or pinch collar and people always seem to literally be choking their dogs half the time. I know with my dog I use a gentle leader, because in no way does it hurt her. It goes around her nose and back of head so she doesn't have the force of her whole body to pull me, and she quickly learned to walk alongside me. Harnesses seem safe but still don't give you control over the dog because they have their entire body weight to pull you.
Does anyone use chokers or pinches? Why? Also, gentle leaders are a pretty new thing. I always have people asking me what's on my dog. Do many of you know what they are?
i prefer and recommend prong collars. they do not have the propensity to do the long term damage that a chain ("choke chain") can cause.
in addition, they administer a much quicker, controlled correction when used properly (and if you have ever put one on your arm and corrected yourself you would see that they are really just a pinch).
the problem with the people you keep seeing is that they have the TOOLS for the training, but are not actually DOING the training.
the fact that a dog is wearing ANY type of corrective collar or device does not mean that it is "trained" upon putting it on. the dog still needs to be trained. the tool is only used to administer correction, and before corrections can be effectively administered, the dog must know WHAT the handler wants it to do.
the people who are coming into your work have NO idea how to train the dog, so that the dog understands what it should do.
a correction should only be issued when the dog ignores or refuses a command that it KNOWS. then the correction is effective. these dogs, i am willing to bet, know NOTHING, because they won't learn ANYTHING from a collar. collars don't train. handlers do.

Choker $4.16 Sixteen-year-old Cara Lange has always been a loner, even more so since she moved away from her best and only friend, Zoe, a few years ago. Cara mostly spends her time avoiding the popular girls who call her 'choker' after a humiliating incident in the cafeteria, and watching Ethan Gray from a distance, wishing he would finally notice her. Then one day Cara comes home and finds Zoe waiting for her. Zoe's on the run from problems at home, and Cara agrees to help her hide. With Zoe back, Cara's life changes overnight. Zoe gives her a new look and new confidence, and before she can blink, Cara is flirting with Ethan and getting invited to parties. And best of all, she has her best friend to confide in again. But just as quickly as Cara's life came together, it starts to unravel. A girl goes missing in her town, and everyone is a suspect ~ including Ethan. Worse still, Zoe starts behaving very strangely, and Cara begins to wonder what exactly her friend does all day when she's at school. You're supposed to be able to trust your best friend no matter what, but what if she turns into a total stranger? |
