What type of dog collar and leash should we go for?
My partner and I are going to buy a collar and leash for our new puppy (we haven’t collected him yet but want to be 100% prepared). The breeder showed us a half check collar with leash but to me this looked like the old choke chain. I don’t agree with any kind of collar that is going to cause discomfort to my baby (even though I know these are good for training the dog not to pull). I want something comfortable but effective – should I go for soft leather. What would be your advice, I have looked at many websites and there are so many different types to choose from. Thanks x
I agree with the harness/leash combination. I have found that these work with all sized dogs/puppies and provide the best control. You’re not going to want to put a lot of money into collars or harnesses for your puppy because he’s going to grow so quickly. Something that’s soft and fairly flexible will work fine. Once your puppy is full grown, you’ll want to invest a little more.
These are some that I have used and liked

Keep in mind as your puppy outgrows his collar/harness, your local Humane Society or Rescue Group can always use donations. LOL
Enjoy your puppy and take lots of pictures….they grow up so fast!
