Selecting Appropriate Dog Collars And Leashes

Are you thinking about dog collars and leashes for your new pet? If you are like most caring new dog owners you want to train and protect your new dog but are totally confused by the vast array of styles, sizes and material available. Dog collars may take the form of a simple leather or fabric collar fastened with a buckle to fancy dog collars bedecked with rhinestones and in some cases even real jewels.

Different styles of dog collars and harnesses also have different purposes in mind. Some are made more for decoration, others for basic obedience training and some to correct and stop barking or aggressive behavior. It is important that you, as the owner, decide what your ultimate goal is and what you pet really needs.

You do not want to place a choke collar on a small dog and risk injury. On the other hand a large dog can easily break dog collars and leashes made for small dogs. Many dogs can be harmed by shock collars and more humane alternatives are available.

Temperament also varies by breed and even individual dogs within a breed. Some dogs just are just naturally gentle and easy to train to lead while others need firmer control.

The goal of our site is to help you select the best dog collar and leash for your dog. You will find a selection of dog collars, leashes and harnesses to please the most finicky dog. The appropriate dog collar and leash will help minimize the time that this training takes and keep your pet safe and happy.

I just adopted a male black lab who is about a year old. I dont know anything about his past. He is a very sweet dog, and is really gentle natured. But recently he just started becoming really aggressive whenever i pull on his collar (leading him without a leash).

Tonight when i was leading him back to his crate he almost bit me!

PLEASE HELP!

How do I teach my dog?

...good leash behavior? She's a small dog, so I must admit we weren't too concerned about leash pulling. But now we're planning on certifying her as a therapy dog once she hits a year (she's 8 months), so good leash behavior is a must.

I have a harness for her, the kind that goes around her chest and neck. I don't want to use a prong or choke collar. Any tips on teaching her to walk nicely on the leash? Thanks.
