Collar hating

Basenji Training
  • Charlies_MommyC

    I'm going to see how Charlie does on walks for now. He really doesn't pull much, but he is still getting used to everything around my neighborhood. I'm also going to be taking him to behavior classes soon. If he gives me a problem when he's bigger, I do plan on trying a gentle leader.

    I've already decided to get one for my lab/ hound mix, Bandit. He practically dislocates your arm because of the pulling.

    Are the wider collars okay to use with a puller? I'm still working with trying to get mine to stop pulling when we're out walking - the gentle leader helps - but I can't use that when we go to training class.

    @Basenjimamma: I agree, training has got to be the biggest part in this equation, then the type of harness/collar. Ultimately do we not want the dogs to obey what we want them to do, as supposed to have a gear that forces them to do what you want them to do? Yes, training is key. But not all animals respond the same way to the same thing. Sometimes it is trial and error as to what works best for which dog. In my house, it is individual even with the types of treat that work - Ruby prefers cheese, Brando beef liver, and Liyah chicken. IMHO, same with collars and leads.

    Many, many years ago, when my boyfriend at the time and I got our first basenji, I suggested to BF that we try a shock collar to keep him from escaping when I forgot to close the garage door or backyard gate. BF promptly agreed wholeheartedly–thought it was a fantastic idea--but he suggested that I wear the collar so that I would get shocked anytime I left open a door or gate....hahahahaha. Needless to say, we never did get a shock collar.....and I am very, very dependable now about closing doors and gates:)

    I wouldnt be surprised if he does or would if you asked. I definately paid too much ($25) for mine when I was at an event and had to have one.
