The
leash and training collar is the most basic piece of equipment
used in training a dog.
Using
the lead and training collar properly is vital to successful dog
training. The training collar is designed to apply a specific amount of
pressure each time the leash is tightened.
The amount of pressure put on the leash controls the amount
of pressure placed on the training collar, and the pressure can be
adjusted according to how the dog responds.
How
each dog responds to training with the leash and training collar
is quite variable. Some
dogs barely react the first time they encounter a collar and
leash, while others fight this strange contraption with all their
might. It is
important to recognize how your own dog reacts, and to adapt your
training program as needed.
Proper Leash And
Collar Purchasing
The
first part of training with collar and leash, of course, is to
purchase a quality, well made training collar that will fit your
dog properly. There
are many types of training collars and leashes on the market.
The most important thing is to choose one that is sturdy
and well made. The
last thing you want to do is chase your dog down after he has
broken his collar.
