hi i was wondering where you went that made you use a choke collar? when i took my dogs to basic commands training i was NOT allowed to use a choke collar ( not that i would) but if there was anyone using one they were not allowed in the classs. I have never tried clicker training or known any one that has taken a class on that. i love training my dog with had signals and treats. please let me know how everything goes.
We tried a class that suggested a choke colar when Nicki was a pup. I couldn't get used to which way the choke was supposed to go on or how to *yank* it just right. I plain wasn't comfortable. I ended up using the hand signal and treat method - it was great and Nicki learned so much faster!
