The worst thing for a puller is a choke collar.


Absolutely! Unless you know how to properly use it.

A dog who is not responding to treats and praise may need the addition of a
timely correction (a collar pop, to make a noise not choke the dog). I bet
this would have made all the difference in the world if I had realized this
when I trained Madigan to walk on leash.

I taught my eskie to heel using a choker as a noise aversive. He learned very
fast, and he had been a dedicated puller.

But then again,
Leah doesn't have a clue how to fit a prong either...


I do now. I was doing it the way I was shown, by Madigan's trainer.
