How do you train a dog to walk with a training collar?

Training a dog to walk with a training collar involves first properly fitting the collar and introducing the dog to the collar in a positive way. Then, the dog should be trained to respond to the collar's signals and gradually learn to walk on a loose leash.

How old should a dog be to use a training collar?

Dogs should be at least 6 months old and have basic obedience training before using a training collar. Puppies under 6 months of age are still developing physically and emotionally, and using a training collar can harm their development.

Head halters are another style of dog training collar that helps to direct and guide your dog, teaching them better walking skills and helping your dog learn to follow your lead on walks. The Gentle Leader Head Halter clips under your dog’s chin to help guide their head and face them in the direction that you want them to walk. It also helps to prevent pulling on the leash.
