[nagdu] collars

[Marianne Denning]

Maria, where did you get your dog?  Do you have a problem with wild
dogs in Slovakia?


Leader Dogs now gives out the Martingale collar.  It is still a "choke
chain" but has cloth on it. Leader Dogs does not use a leash
correction for discipline in most situations.  They teach us to use
other techniques.  It is challenging for those of us who have had dogs
for many years but it does work.  I am glad to see the schools change
with the times.
