Problems With Pulling Dog? Begin With Safe Dog Collars To Have A Happier Walk!

Almost always, a dog tends to drag the owner each
time it is brought out for a walk. Probably it's
because the animals are perpetually excited and
eager to see what's ahead, and so they walk
faster. It is also a natural response for dogs
to resist the pressure its owner exerts to slow
them down. Besides, pulling is a dog's way of
telling its owner to move forward faster.

This does not mean, however, that owners should
tolerate their pet's pulling behaviour. Rather,
pets should be trained to behave properly and
should be made aware that they cannot dictate
its owner according to its instinct. You should
know, though, that training your pet to not pull
on its leash does not bring positive results over
night. You need to have patience and consistency
of action towards your dog.

Since the pulling and dragging action between
dog and owner could be painful on the pet's neck
and stressful on the part of the owner, it is
recommended that you buy a neck collar that
provides cushion around its neck. There are
actually different types of dog collar, namely:

1. Head collars - also called as halter type
collars. This provides more control of the dog
owner since the collar itself has a
"bridle-like" straps to secure the dog's head.
So, when your pooch pulls, you can safely stop
it since its collar, which rests on its head,
will make it turn to you.

2. Chain-slip dog collar - This is the chain for
hard pullers. In contrast to other harnesses and
halters, this type is made of steel. Because of
this, it should be used with excellent care and
should not be left on the dog unattended because
it poses high risk of strangulation. Likewise,
before putting the chain-slip collar on your
dog, you have to seek advice from a professional
consultant regarding the proper way to use it.

Another type of dog leash is the harness, which
is specifically designed to be placed around
your dog's chest and abdomen. It functions just
like a collar. Many dog owners prefer to use
this type for pets that tend to pull because
harness does not put pressure on the neck,
ensuring that the dog won't get hurt.

Training your pooch to refrain from pulling
requires an expert trainer. However, should you
want to train your dog yourself, you should
first learn how to use the collar.

If you want to buy a quality dog collar or any
dog toys, you may visit any of the pet shops or
search for good deals online.
