Obedience Equipment
The Training Collar
|
|
Sometimes referred to as a choker chain, the training collar should be about four inches longer than the circumference of the dogs neck (providing it will slip over the dogs head easily). This collar should be put on with the loose end (the end the leash is attached to) coming over the top of the dog's neck. The collar is put on in this way so that when it is jerked and released, the collar will not hurt the dog. Always work your dog on a loose leash as a steady pull on the collar will not let you give the dog proper corrections. |
The Leash
The leash should be soft leather or nylon webbing six feet in length. A leather lead is preferred. The leash must be six feet long, this is a fair requirement. No chain leashes are allowed as it will hurt the member' hands.
