PET ONE CHECK CHAINS
A check chain is an excellent training tool. It does not harm the dog in any way when used correctly.
A check chain works on a jerk and release motion and distributes pressure equally around the neck region. On the other hand a collar concentrates pressure only on one part of the neck on the side opposite the leash.
When a flat collar is jerked from above, the entire pressure is focused on the windpipe, which causes a strangulating sensation for the dog.
A choke chain should be jerked quickly and released immediately. It is meant to grab the dog’s attention.
Do not leave a check chain on a dog that is unsupervised or running loose.
A correctly fitted chain should have 3 to 4 inches of slack when it is pulled snug around the dog’s neck.
Remove your dog’s regular flat collar when you use a check chain. The flat collar might dissipate the quick snap of the check chain making it an ineffective training tool.
