As an owner, you need to decide which of these areas your dogs falls into. That is because certain collars should never be used on certain dogs based on their temperament. Once you have determined the touch sensitivity and temperament of your dog, it is time to put your knowledge to use and choose an appropriate collar and leash for the task. I will try to condense information about the various collars for your consideration. Made of metal or nylon.
Metal slips more easily than nylon.
Metal can tend to rub fur off the underside of the neck more easily than nylon. Make sure when purchasing a metal choke collars that the collar is smooth and free slipping. Make sure you know how to properly place this collar on your hound. The portion of the collar that rides on the top of the neck that has the ring to which you attach the leash always goes through the ring that is attached to the portion of the collar that goes under the neck. If the collar is habitually in the tightened conditioned in order for you to control your hound, then this is not the collar for you to use.
