The probblem with that is if she needs to be corrected you can't do it 
easiloy. I don't like the chains that schools give you so I baught the 
Softlin collar. Looks like a regular collar but has the rings like the 
chain. I know that my dog gets long hair and can get it caught in the chain 
links.
