Dog Collars

Dog Collars as we have all known are worn by dogs for various intentions, may it be for training, walking, identification or even for fashion purposes. Since a lot has been having a hard time telling what kind of collar should be used for the right activity, I've created this post to enumerate 6 kinds of collars with their corresponding usage.  I hope that this could at least give you an idea of what kind of collar your dog needs.

1. 

   Choke Chai

   1. Choke chains – This kind of collars are also known as choke collars and are only use for dog trainings. The short length leash makes it easier for trainers to tug the dog when making corrections during trainings. Though using Choke chains makes it easier for trainers to control over their dogs, it was still not advisable to use such chain since this could damage the dog's neck. If ever you wish to use such collar, use it with great caution and never leave your dog unattended.

2. 

   Metal Prong Collar

   Metal Prong Collars – Also known as pinch collar and like the Choke chains, this kind of collar is only used for training purposes. This is quite helpful for trainers whose dogs are stubborn with tendency to pull leash. Made of metal, a prong collar consists of links with small metal prongs facing inward that sit against the dog’s neck. When the lead is pulled, the metal links come together and apply pressure to the dog’s neck. This kind of leash is quite painful or cruel, using this requires a lot of caution and knowledge.

   Martingale Dog Collar

   Martingale Collars - Also know as limited slip collars. This collar is used by owners to prevent their dogs from slipping out of their collars while walking on a leash. Though the collars tightens with a tug on the leash, there is a stopping mechanism to prevent the collar from tigtening too much on your dog's neck. These kind of collars are normally and are suited for Sighthounds, but can also be used to different breed of dogs.

4. Everyday Collars- These kind of collars are the most basic collars for dogs, these are normally used by ordinary dog owners for everyday-stroll-in-the-park moments with their pets. Collars with metal buckels and leather collars are just some example.

   

   Leather Collar

5. 

   Head Dog Collar

   Head Collars- This kind of collar act more like a harness for your dog;s head. If your dog tries to pull or lunge forward, the collar transfers the forward motion into turning the head sideways. This immediately discourages the activity without any undue stress to the animal. You could also use this to restrain biters and calms boisterous dogs.

6. 

   Dog body Harness

   Harnesses - these are designed for placement around a dog’s chest and abdomen, crossing over the back. A leash can be attached to the top of the harness. Some dog owners prefer harnesses over collars, especially for dogs with a tendency to pull, because they put no pressure on the neck. Some trainers feel that harnesses only encourage pulling and that leash-and-collar training should be enforced. Harnesses are ideal for dogs with medical problems in the neck and airway.

What I love about Dogs

Our house back in Manila and Aklan has been guarded with dogs since I can remember. Over the years I've taken care almost 11 dogs and those dogs taught me lot of stuffs that gave me enough reason to love them.


Here's a Few list of the reasons why I love dogs:

• They teach you what responsibility really is;
• They're unquestionably Loyal; - they love you more than they love their selves;
• Dogs can make you feel really special and never lie about love; and 
• They can offer a big hand- 'cause i haven't seen a Guard Cat

You've got to take care of them, this means feeding, bathing, grooming, playing and showing enough affection as if they're your own kids.

Having your own pet dog is a big responsibility, you can't just lay around all day doing nothing for your dog. Having a dog means having another life to take care off. Yes, you got it right, just like a baby. To our dogs, we are their parents.  We need to feed them three times a day plus giving them their special treats, bath them every after two days, play with them if they look bored, Plus walk them on the park for a good stroll. 

Being able to do all this chores is a nice step in handling bigger responsibilities in the future.

*Keep your dogs free from ticks and fleas:

Dogs knew who his master is.

They cuddle their masters' and bite those of their enemies. They surely know who to follow and who they should protect, that what makes them different from other pets. Living up to the title of man's best friend, these dogs face danger and death to stay near the ones they love. People could definitely learn from them, for dogs only know that loyalty knows no boundaries.

*Because they deserve this:

They keep you busy-it definitely is a good thing!

If I didn't have dogs, I'd probably spend the whole day sitting on the couch watching television or maybe even let a nice day to pass in front the computer - obviously an unhealthy way to live. My pets taught me how to see the goodness of walking and even jogging even if it's just down the street. It also helps me clear off my head and give my body a bit of exercise.

*Let the poor dog visit the park:

Having a bad day? Cuddle that pup!

That tireless wagging tail that symbolizes pure joy in your presence. Those big brown eyes gazing at you with complete adoration. They offer unquestioning attachment and acceptance that would make any person feel better even after having a bad day. They makes us feel better and definitely relieves us from stress. 

*Allow to let them play like kids:

If they show you Love, for sure it's pure.

Unconditional love is what they could give. As a dog owner, I know my pet dog loves me. Give them a toy and show them love and they'll love you beyond anything else. Yell at them if you feel cranky, they'll soon forgive you and still love you with all their hearts. They don't judge, they love you for who you are and would stay beside you no matter what. That feeling that they miss you when you are not around, and show how glad they are when you are back. This are just some few of those many things how puppy-love could make you feel that you are indeed loved.
