Choose The Right Type of Dog Collars For Your Pet

Most dogs serve as pets that we would like to
train, walk, play, and be our companion too.
They still have their animal instinct in them
that we need to train and control to be accepted
in the society. Many pet trainers would recommend
using a collar and a leash in order to control
them well. Dog collars are like a dog's necklace
except that it can serve different purposes for
them. It is like a small belt or chain placed
around a dog's neck which can be used for
control, fashion, identification and for other
purposes. This is a very useful tool when in
terms of dog training. It provides a good handle
for grabbing, leading, and directing them as it
is connected with a leash.

In this article, you can learn the different
types and purposes of dog collars that will help
you choose the right one for your pet.
Everyday collars are primarily used for a walk
or jog in the park meant for everyday use. These
are made from different materials, widths,
colors, and styles. If you prefer a buckle
collar which is better used for stronger dogs to
easily manage their aggressive behavior. Rolled
leather types are one of the best available for
dogs who suffer hair loss or parting. This
should be adjusted right on the neck and high
above your pet's shoulder blades and fitted
snugly and not too loose that it can slip off
his neck.

Dog harnesses goes around the neck and
shoulders, and behind the front legs. This leads
pets who are suffering from upper respiratory
diseases in parts of the throat and trachea.
When the owner pulls the leash, the harness
pulls away from the pain areas of the pet which
relieves pressure that causes irritation and
coughing.

Halter-type gives the best controlled movement
for dogs especially during training. It mostly
controls the head which in turn controls the
rest of its body. This looks more like of a
horse's halter which has a band around the back
of the head and around the nose which the leash
connects under their chin. The head is
controlled by pulling down or to the side which
makes it impossible for them to move ahead or
pull you forward.

Every collar should have an identification tag
attached to it at all times. It should have its
name and your contact number at the back. It
would be easy for people to locate the owner
once they're lost or wander around. Look for an
online pet store that will offer you quality
made collars for different kinds of dogs.
