Dog training collars come in many styles and types. From your basic choke chain to the fancier electric "shock" collars, pet owners today must be careful to select the dog collars that best suit theirs and their dog's needs. Before starting any training with even a basic collar, the wise pet owner will consult their trainer on the best type to use. Children and inexperienced handlers should only use dog training collars with proper supervision.

The links should be large enough to release quickly but small enough not to pinch the skin around the neck. Choke chains must be put on properly, so that they release the pressure as soon as the dog is corrected. Also available are choke collars, which are generally cloth or nylon with a two ring and a sliding chain system. The choke collar is only tight if the leash is being pulled, and cannot be used to choke an animal, thus narrowing the margin for error.
