Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Collars are for walking, harnesses are for working. We use a limited slip White Pine collar on our dogs for outings, with the limited slip there is no getting out of the collar if properly sized. We also work our dogs in harness so when they are in harness I want them to want to pull, obviously that is not something I want from them when we are trying to walk on lead. So different sensations for the different purposes.

I agree ^ We do the same thing here. My dogs know not to pull if they're on their easy walk harnesses or their flat collars <- do they forget sometimes? Of course! They're dogs! But for the most part they're fantastic. When I want them to pull for rollerblading, sledding, skijoring, etc. they are either in their x-back harnesses or their harnesses that have a clip in back (similar to putting the easy walk on with the clip on the back instead of in front.) It takes some time, patience, and training- but they will get it Smile As for the collars- as someone mentioned, if they're fitted properly the dog shouldn't be able to slip out of them- if you're really worried about it the martingale is a good choice. Very Happy
