Esthetics questions when choosing ammunition for dogs of large and serious breeds recede into the background. The strict collar (parfors) or a stranglehold becomes often effective option for training and correction of behavior of dogs. The stranglehold is also necessary for usual daily carrying at dogs which head already necks.
Strict collar - the building and functionality
The choice of a strict collar and a stranglehold it is necessary to approach more strictly, than usual ammunition as the low-quality product can bring at the most inappropriate moment or cause essential inconveniences to a dog. It is desirable to consult upon purchase of a strict collar with the dog handler-manufacturer knowing features of your pet.
The strict collar represents a set of the connected thorns. Its size has to correspond completely to a neck grasp behind ears of a dog and in free situation not too to press and not to fall down. It is desirable to choose option with the thorns which are perpendicular to a neck, but not at an angle. If there is an opportunity, get model with detachable links, it will be easier to be adjusted to the size of a dog.
The essence of work of the put-on "strogach" is that at breakthrough the collar drags on, and the thorns which are on an internal surface stick into a neck to a dog. As soon as the dog ceases to pull, the ends of a strict collar disperse, and it is free, without causing inconveniences, lies on a neck. The adjusting function of this ammunition consists in it. But the beginner is not recommended to apply it independently as at improper handling it is possible to embitter an animal or to put it a trauma.
Selection of a strict collar
Buying a strict collar for a dog, it is necessary to make sure that all its links are reliably fastened among themselves, otherwise at heavy breakthrough they can disperse. Pay attention to ammunition length: too narrow parfos will difficult put on a dog, and from wide she will freely twist the head. At selection of a strict collar it is important to consider that, unlike strangleholds, they are subdivided not on length, and on weight into heavy, easy and average model therefore before purchase the fitting on a dog is necessary if you take a strict collar without expert.
Links of ryvkovy chains and strict collar have to be strong soldered or welded and made of strong metal alloy. That the dog freely coped with a collar, rings have to be rather slippery. For pets with long wool it is better to choose a chain with a size of links of 4-6 cm, in order to avoid a wool vyryvaniye.
It is important to remember that this type of a collar is applied only during adjustment, constant application of "strogach" during walks has an adverse effect on control of a dog and her general obedience.
Choice of a collar stranglehold
Collar stranglehold of simpler design. It represents the made of cloth or leather strong loop which is passed through a metal ring and dragging on on a neck at a lead tension. Such collar both for training and correction of behavior, and for daily carrying at dogs with a narrow muzzle at whom the usual not dragging on ammunition option just slides off a neck through the head is used. The stranglehold, as a rule, is put on a dog through the head and, choosing it, consider a grasp of the widest place of the head.
At exhibitions for an exit in a ring special hardly noticeable strangleholds-ringovki are used. They are selected according to a color of a dog or in contrast. Exhibition collars are made of thin skin or a wattled cord have no buckles and any decorative elements.
