[nagdu] Correction callers

[Marion Gwizdala]

	A correction collar is the politically correct term for a choke chain. Calling it a choke chain, though, sends a message that the dog is choked by it, something that is not so; therefore, many programs are opting for the term "correction collar".

(sorry I don't have your name listed here),

There is little to no difference. I have seen some full chain collars that are correction collars (they tighten on the dog's neck when you pull on the leash), and some partial chain collars that do the same thing (the chain/correction part only takes up half the collar, the rest is nylon).
I don't know of any school that does  not train at all with correction collars, but someone can correct me.

I am not against correction collars ever, but I have noticed that for my dog it wound up doing WAY more harm than good (NOTE: I was not overusing it, as someone once accused me).

basically, any collar that tightens against the dog's neck or throat is a correction collar.  But there are others, luke prong collars, etc.

Hope this helps; please sign your name next time?

Daryl

Hello, I noticed in previous post people talking about correction collars. I am just curious what the differences between the chain collar that typically schools give out with the dogs, and a correction collar. What is the difference? Where the pros and cons? I am just curious.
