jess live die Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 when training and walking is it better to have the choker chain or a collar ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 On a baby puppy? Flat collar only. If you train well enough, you'll probably never need anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree If you don't feel comfortable with a flat collar then use a martingale collar (sometimes called limited slip collar). I use a webbing martingale collar on Pele because her neck is the same width as her head and she could slip out of a flat collar. I never use a slip or choke collar ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess live die Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 dose it matter what type of flat one is like is leather better then the soft ones or is there a better brand that has wroked well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 dose it matter what type of flat one is like is leather better then the soft ones or is there a better brand that has wroked well? Webbing is easier to care for and cheaper. I'd be sticking to that until puppy is full grown. What matters more is the quality of the buckle or clip. Buy a decent brand like Lupine or Rogz and they should be fine. Once puppy is fully grown you can go to town on a nice leather collar with brasswork - many Staffords are shown in these and they look great.

MissMayhem Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 My staffy is very intelligent and learnt very quickly how to walk on lead. Again, I would suggest a flat collar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Dragon Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Lupine combo collars are really good, there isn't a buckle to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once puppy is fully grown you can go to town on a nice leather collar with brasswork - many Staffords are shown in these and they look great. Pele's everday collar is an all cotton webbing martingale. I buy them through my dog obedience club for $6 so they are are really cheap and comfortable for her and I replace them every few months as they fade - hey a girl has to look good Pele swims at the beach everyday so I keep the Rogz martingale with the chain triangle piece for best because the chain rusts. I have been looking at some lovely leather collars with brass trim. If I get Pele one that would definately be for "Sunday Best" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wondering what one of the narrow martingales would look like in red with the brass trim :D There's an Aussie site that advertises here but I appear to have lost it. Probably just as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
