Can a dog wear a chain link choker collar all the time ?
I was, for the longest time, a firm believer in not using a choke chain collar except for training, and even then I would rather use a pinch collar (the ones with prongs) to avoid hurting the dog’s windpipe if we had a dog that pulled (I used to walk dogs locally). Then I got my newest dog, who is an Aussi Cattle Dog. We tried nylon. We tried cotton. We tried flat leather. We tried rolled leather. We have 6 or 7 collars for this dog that just rubbed his neck raw. They WERE the correct size, but it just rubbed his fur off. We even tried various harnesses that sat in different places on his neck and nothing seemed to work. So I went for the choke chain collar with the fabric threaded through it to keep it from making so much noise. It’s on loose like it’s supposed to be, and it has his tags on, and ta-da..it does NOT rub his neck raw and it’s the only thing that won’t. While I recommend against it, it is possible. We don’t have any low bushes or posts that he would be likely to get caugh
