I battled whether or not to show this video. I mean, I don’t believe in choke collars. In fact, I know of no one in the dog community that likes them.

But, they still sell them at pet stores and I see new dog owners buying them every day. So let me make one thing clear.

A choke collar is very capable of killing your dog!

Here’s a video about why you shouldn’t use them, but also, just as important, how to use it correctly and safely if you have to.

But please don’t. It’s the easy way out.

If any Dog Files Friends have any choke collar horror stories please share them with us. Maybe it will help choke collar users change their mind.
