The Debate over the Benefits Choke Collars

By Jim Witt

A controversial topic which always gets dog owners emotions going is the use of choke collars. The views are all over the map when it comes to the advantages and disadvantages of the use of choke collars. Many dog owners encourage the use of choke collars for training purposes. By the same token, there are those who feel these collars are very abusive in nature. In order to make an educated decision concerning the different types of choke collars, one must study the plethora of information available.

A choke collar is made out of chain and is also referred to as slip collar. This style of dog collar is typically constructed of chain, cord, webbing or cloth. In spite of the name, a chain choke collar was never meant to choke a dog - its purpose is to compress the brachial nerve, similar to pinching the funny bone. This type of dog collar should be used for training purposes only and must fit properly on the dog's neck, so as to not cause harm to the dog's throat.

Because of the design of this type collar one should never leave it on an unattended animal because it can snag on an object and unintentionally strangle a dog. Many Trainers recommend that a choke chain or slip collar should only be utilized for training reasons or when walking your dog when on a leash. This sort of collar was not designed for puppies under six months old. In addition, if your pet is constantly tugging against the chain collar, then different type of choke collars should be substituted.

Half check collars and Martingale collars are variations of choke collars that are considered by many dog owners to be more humane that the chain choke collar. These two types of collars were originally designed for sight hounds, such as Greyhounds, Whippets, Italian Greyhounds, Bolzoi, Saluki, etc., which are breeds that have necks larger than their heads. Half check and Martingale collars have since become popular with many breeders because it prevents any dog from backing out of a regular collar.

Half check collars, also called half choke collars, are classically manufactured of a leather or nylon material in combination with chain. On the other hand, Martingale collars are manufactured exclusively of nylon webbing. Equally, these dog collars contain a dual-loop design that acts by constricting on the dog's neck when it is trying to yank its head from the collar, but will ease off when the tension subsides. The dynamic action of the half check collar and the Martingale collar keeps the collar from choking the dog.

These specialty collars are also good for controlling dogs when on a leash. Some dogs, even when properly trained, can be a problem when on a leash and these collars are a tool to keep the dog and its owner safe. Choke collars are especially useful with extra large and giant breeds of dogs which can easily pull an owner off their feet.

One advantage the Martingale collar has over its half check collar counterpart is that it will not get tangled in the dog's hair on account that it is made of webbing as apposed to chain. Most owners that are advocates of these collars emphasize that the fit and location of these collars are crucial when ensuring these collars do not cause harm to your dog. Directions on proper fit and location are simple to locate at any pet store, browsing on the internet or from a local dog trainer.

Although the debate may continue among dog owners over whether or not to use a choke collar, there is an abundance of information available for one to make their own well-informed conclusion. In the end, it is a choice that will have to be made by the individual dog owner for the benefit and protection of their own dogs.

How To Make Animal Communication Work In 6 Steps

By James French

Animal Communication is the ability for a person to share the feelings of any animal in detail. Imagine having a detailed conversation with an animal, the difference is that the language of the animals is feeling based and does not rely on words. When working with animal communication we can discover how our animals feel on both physically and emotionally.

Below are 6 easy to follow step, so that you can understand how this heart felt communication can work between you and any animal.

1 You have to be willing to give it a go!

There is no way in the world that you will be able to communicate in detail with an animal if you do not believe that it is real. One of the main factors that makes your communication detailed is to control your doubts. So if you are full of doubts this will stop you from being in the right mind set right form the start.

2 Calm your mind

Every thought that we have creates a specific feeling! To be able to pick up on another beings thoughts we must quieten down our own first. Other wise we will only be focused on our own mind and feelings and not theirs.

3 Put your full attention on the animal

Animal communication it is all about unity, you literally place your feeling attention with the animal and at that point your feelings become one. Your attention must be with the animal with no thoughts about your self.

4 You need to ask questions

Connecting to the animals feeling using your full attention means that on a deeper level you will be linked into all the information about that animal. We can not take all this information in on a conscious level as it would be far too overwhelming. By asking questions this acts like a filter where that specific detail can be moved to our conscious mind.

5 Be aware of how the information is delivered

The feelings are picked up and translated by your mind automatically. These in turn are translated in a way that will make sense to you. It may be that your mind gives you an image, sound, touch, smell or taste that is relative to the feeling of the animal. These senses are subtle and are more like memories.

6 Do not add to the information

Keep the information as close to and as raw as you experienced it in your mind. It is easy to add extra thinking on top. This will change the nature of the communication and it will not be so accurate.

Animal communication is a very natural way to share understanding with each other. It enhances your relationship dramatically with the animal around you and is worth exploring if you care about animals. If there are any questions you would like answered please feel free to contact us.

Training Animals Is All About Relationship!

By James French

There are so many different approaches when it comes to training animals. The old school way, this is through the feeling of we are more superior and is based on dominance. The animal had better do what it is told!

Then there is the complete opposite, where the human is letting their animals do as they please even when the behaviour is is clearly out of place. Usually with the pretence that they love their animals too much to correct them.

What happens between these two examples is what makes up the many training methods out there. So what is the right approach that suits both the animals and the humans needs?

Let have a look at these two ways and see what is happening for the animal on an emotional level.

This hard approach has the animal responding through a fear aspect. They will do what is being asked in the fear of the consequence of not doing it. You can clearly see this in the repressed overly submissive behaviour.

When we train horses in this way they are not relaxed and their movement is jumpy, there minds are far too busy thinking of what might go wrong to be able to full concentrate on what is being asked.

The opposite can be just as emotional, with no guidance, they are left with too much responsibility. When they do not know what to do in a situation they are responding through their fear rather than learning from the human. Long term lack of confidence with extreme cases in dogs can showing aggressive and protective behaviour.

The same thing is happening in both cases the mind of the animal is too fast and this produces excess levels of emotion.

I would like to show you a way of finding the right balance! Have a look at the video below. This is showing clearly that we can help an animal to be peaceful and this in turn creates the one true element needed in a good relationship, trust.

[Training Animals With Trust]

There is a balance that is very special and this can be created through trust. Then clearly there is no place for old dominant behaviour from the human. Why would there be any need if both the human and animal had this strength of relationship.

When you are trust worthy in the eyes of your animal then they naturally listen to you for guidance and are ready to learn.

There is a big shift in animal training, it is becoming increasingly obvious that there are better ways that are so much more rewarding. to make this happen it is not the animal who need to change, it is us!
