Hi everyone,Ella has been doing very good at training/in the house with heal work but as soon as she is out she is a different dog(doesn't listen one bit to anything)was thinking of trying a half choke collar what do others use?? Thanks.
Once you move loose lead walking from inside to outside, you basically start again, but in the garden. Once that's achieved then it's onto the regular walks. I take it that Ella is a puppy? Just be consistent with her and it will 'click' in time
If you look closely at my photos, you will see that my dogs are usually wearing half check collars for breed showing and their normal daily exercise. I use flat leather collars to carry their ID tags, for obedience show classes, (for which they have to be off lead or on a loose lead anyway), and for any form of jumping, where loose hanging chain can pose a safety issue. For the same reason, never leave a half check on a dog which is not supervised, eg. loose in the back of a car, where it is possible that the collar could get caught up on fittings.
Yes she is 4.5 months,in the garden she is really good aswell.we have just started doing it on our driveway and she is very distracted by everything and will not listen..
Thank you,we will get one and try it.she does go to obedience training she was doing really well,but the last couple of weeks she slipped back and not listening or paying attention to me.(monkey)
I use are leather half checks, if you decide to get one make sure it’s a good make and correct size. I take them off when they are free running as the chain tends to dangle and in the past I had a dog catch his paw in it. I don’t use collars indoors but if you keep a collar on at home I would suggest getting a rolled one as they don't leave collar marks or break the coat. As for not listening when you’re out, she is still young and it takes time as there are so many distractions, I start in the garden then once they understand the commands I find a quiet spot outside or along walking route and do short bursts of training gradually building up.
Thanks,we looked at pets at home and couldn't really find one so will look online.we don't keep collars on indoors.we have been doing it in the garden and she is really good so have just started doing it on our drive now.
Tweed (Lurcher-ish) had an adjustable 1/2" leather and brass half check. Though expensive, it lasted for the majority of her lifetime, and is actually still in use - now fully extended - on my friend's Bouvier. Try looking on Essenjay Leather Products website, first class quality and service, and they will also make to measure. Merry's show collar is one of their very dainty round leather half checks.
Hello, Maybe try amazon? I get quite a lot of my doggy stuff from there. Although I do think you could achieve this without one and am struggling to see how it would help... Jane xx
