100% on point about NOT leaving the choke collar on your dog. When I had my shepherd, he had a scare moment with the choke chain. He was laying out back the one day on the deck, I walked outside to see him struggling so I rushed over. To my horror, I saw that the link had fallen into between the deck boards essentially pinching him so he couldnt break free. I quickly pulled the link out of the crack and the choke chain went into garbage never to be used again. Sadly just recently had to put him down, loved that guy, was an amazing resuce dog.

Goody's really well trained. He soooo wanted to run and play, he was looking out there so longingly. But he stayed.

I love slip leads. It's my go to tool for teaching dogs how to follow leash pressure. It's a thing of beauty when a dog gets to experience proper leash skills from a handler and suddenly "transforms" into a dog who want's to follow the slack.

Goofy is such a an incredible looking dog. You’re videos have saved me from making countless mistakes. I really love those dogs, but they are too much for my old ass could handle. Thanks to your videos .

If one person learns from my mistake my dog will not have died in vain. Please DON'T leave choke collars on your. Dog. My dog lost her buckle collar, so to have ID for her until I could replace her buckle collar I put on a regular choke collar. While playing with another dog, the other dog twisted her choke collar. I couldn't get it off of her, no matter how hard I tried and she passed away.. Please don't use a choke collar unless you need it for training.

Mendota slip lead really works. Thanks. I just got it 5 mins ago. The difference between walking my 35 pound 4 month old puppy is like night and day.

I have so many questions because I want to make sure I’m doing right by my dog and everything i come across seems to contradict eachother! This was very helpful for me!

[nehtomania]

Hello, can you please tell me exactly brand of your martingale collar? Thank you

[CindyCastro-fugc]

I use the slip on lead it has helped tremendously! My dog is about 10 months old a rescue very anxious and scared of everything dog. I have her in training and we’re exposing her to different things and places. We used to use a harness but she slipped out of it twice in flight mode trying to escape people she’s very scared of people but not aggressive at all. So this slip on lead has been so perfect! No slips at all.

Hi. Thanks for this excellent video to refresh my memories on HOW TO USE THE CHOKE CHAIN. I ordered one from the Netherlands for my young Newfie and am waiting impatiently to try this on my dog. I live in France and wish I had a great trainer. I had completely forgotten how to use this collar. I had a Newfie before. She was 15 years and left me on the 26th June 2018. I used it on her when she was 1 year and only one year of choke chain and she never needed this ever since. She was a water rescue dog.👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing and caring. 🐾🐾🐾

Well done Goofy.. that toke real self discipline on ur side..

[Ahbroh]

Love your content. Thanks for posting these videos. I've been using a flat collar on pitbull, that i recently got from a shelter. I used to have a prong collar on him, but it wasn't the greatest quality since it left him with marks on his neck. I'm going to have to look into the martingales or the slip lead. Thanks again. Keep up the great work!

[katarinakaragic]

Oh and did you play with him in the park after the video? He looked really eager to play

[jessmuscroft]

What collar would you recommend for a dog aggression dog he pulls ever time he sees another dog

[kennywilliams]

Glad you explained this the first 1 letter p over dogs neck. Thanx. Do you leave it on the dog all the time.

[nicolasderuiter]

Great, informative video. I'll definitely be trying one of these, probably the Martingale. I've been using the prong collar for months to improve heeling and obedience. It helped so much! With a flat collar, my dog is liable to pull hard and strain her throat. With the prong collar, she's learned to keep by my side and she's very responsive without strain. She loves the prong collar; putting the collar on her is like a reward in itself. Used with patience and control, the prong collar was one of the best tools I've found for training.

Thanks man. I had no idea martingale collars exist. (Saw them probably but never realized what they are)
Will get a couple of them for our dogs.

This topic is like discussing whether to tip your server or not while discussing Roundabouts over dinner. Great channel thank you for the information.

I use a half check collar and it’s great for me
