Training a dog can make even the most confident pet parent a little nervous. There are many training aids that can make training easier. Is a choke chain one of those things?

A choke chain can be very helpful for some dogs, but is completely unnecessary for others. For example, if you have a large Rottweiler that just won’t seem to listen to you on a walk, a choke chain can be very helpful. If you have a small pug that trails behind you on a walk, a choke chain isn’t needed.

Although they can be helpful, if you can avoid the choke chain altogether, it’s better for your dog. It’s better for your relationship too. If you do decide you want to give a choke chain a try, make sure you call and ask your veterinarian Carmel, IN for professional advice.
