Choosing Collars, Harnesses and Leashes Buckle up, it's the law! Many U.S. cities require that dogs wear identification and rabies tags and be under their owners control when they're out and about. That means you need the right stuff - dog training collars, harnesses, and leashes - to ensure you're both happy and comfortable when you decide to take a stroll. Collars for everyday use come in nylon or leather.
Leashes and Collars There are many options when shopping for a new dog collar. Which ever type you choose, make sure you have a good fit. A good rule of thumb is if you can fit two fingers between the collar and your dog, then you probably have a good fit. Dog bark collars work well with some dogs. Electronic dog bark collars provide a mild static correction or an audible tone that distracts the dog. Most dogs learn quickly that their barking is the cause for the distraction. Electronic dog bark collars are available in a range of sizes.
Keeping Your Dog Off Furniture One of the basic requirements for dog discipline and training is for the trainer (you) to be consistent. A firm "No!" command while your pet is jumping is the surest way to get your point across. Dog training collars are another effective way to teach your dog where and what she should stay away from.
