We started walking Patch as a pup with a harness.
Since we've started obedience training, we are using a thing like a check chain.. it's not as cruel as a check chain (my opinion) because the chain part starts at the bottom of the actual leash and the nylon collar thing goes around his neck. Sorry, I have forgotten the name of it.
Basically, when we walk Patch he is constantly choking himself on it! He pulls so far in front of us and he is choking and u can hear the vibrations in his throat, but he continues walking!
Last week, he actually gagged after tugging so hard! I had to stop and rub his neck cos I thought he was going to vomit. It's actually pretty scary!
How can we stop this?
