What beautiful sense this makes…
On choke chains, prong collars (also shock collars and spray collars!)…
“If your dog becomes so reactive over another dog or person, to the extend that he incapable of listening to you, he is in an aroused chemical state. If… his air supply is shut off with a choke collar, or pain is inflicted with a pinch (prong) collar, you are not doing anything to help this animal to calm down! A choke or pinch (prong) collar contributes to the arousal level by increasing the adrenaline level.”
Why oh why does this not make perfect sense to people still using these things???!
