Which COLLAR suits you the most share in the comments below.
Mine is always wearing a flat collar with my information stitched on to avoid tags getting caught in things when unsupervised. We use a martingale for training and either martingale or front clip harness for walks, front clip for hikes, and back clip when using long leads. I love all the different tools available!
I also have all kinds of collar. Love my dogs and care for them too.

We use flat collars, though will be using a slip lead once we start showing our puppy (only after he already is good on a leash)
Thank you somuch for this very very useful tips...

Very helpful video
Please DON'T leave choke collars on your Dog. My dog broke her buckle collar, so until I could replace her buckle collar I put on a regular choke collar. While playing with another dog, the other dog twisted her choke collar. I couldn't get it off of her, no matter how hard I tried and she passed away. Please don't use a choke collar unless you need it for training.
Awh
Sorry to hear that 🥺🥺
@@user-tr2kd6dm2h It's completely fine.
Yeah you shouldn't ever leave any training collar on a dog I'm sorry to hear that
@@ivanalfonso8177 It's ok. I've learned from my mistake. Never gonna repeat that.
I am using the half flat and chain collar it works so far
just bought a slip lead and it is the best thing👌🏼
I am using a flat collar. Finding it good for my pet.
Loved the video, i am already your channel fan. Its a complete channel for dog videos from home training to grooming and fuuny
Thanks and welcome
Good video
I use martingale for my mastiff...and i am very happy with it
Thanks for sharing
Since me dog is a water dog, the main collar is a flat nylon with a plastic clasp so they won't rust. Training leads are a prong collar and slip leads.
I use a flat collar for tags / id purposes, a chain for leash walking because my dog can slip out of properly fitted flat collars, and I recently purchased a prong collar which, once it arrives, I will be using instead of his chain collar. My dog is heel trained so it really isn't necessarily to use a training collar for say, but I'd rather him be wearing one and not need it over the other way around
Thanks for sharing it. We are glad you care taking care of your dog well

I use a martingale collar since I use it right behind its ears and Nice tightness for her
I also use Martingale for my dogs.
Monkoodog I just think they are also a lot safer then other collars
Martingales for my two and prongs when training and ONLY then.
Me 2
I use martingales when training only because if they are wearing them when unsupervised they can choke themselves if it gets caught on something like her crate. We have a flat collar with our information stitched on that mine wears all the time to avoid tags getting caught in things too. But I'm also overly cautious
I'm using choke chain now
And I'm gonna swap to harnes or flat collar
😊
Prong is not for self correcting, it will only slightly discourage pulling in that regard. A quality Herm Sprenger distributes pressure evenly over many points which is why they are so safe and effective. A dog that pulls will easily continue to do so with it on. It needs to be a properly timed pop correction in order to stop a behavior pattern.
is there any collar you recommend for dogs with long fur? flat collars really damaged mine's coat/created a collar line. i walk my dogs with harnesses so the collar is just really to hold his tags and stuff.
For me martingale is the best for long and short fur both.
I recommend the Herm Sprenger brand fur-saver. It's a slip chain, but if you get the right size you can just clip the two chain loops together on the leash clip and it acts just like a flat collar but is much safer for your dogs fur and is stronger than a thin flat collar. You could also get a limited slip collar in a style where the collar is thin, or use a prong, although prongs are more for stubborn or untrained dogs to communicate safely and effectively. Contrary to what this channel said, prongs do not cause pain when used appropriately, though some dogs find them too adversive, in which case I'd recommend a starmark collar instead, which is considered a much more gentle form of the prong collar. I also recommend if you do use a prong collar, only use Herm Sprenger brand. Any other brand prong is dangerous.
I have a male piitt pull n a female American bulldog but I live where there's alot of wolves, coyotes n cougars n I want a color to protect they're necks if they ever had a encounter while out in yard to relieve themselves?
All slips from neck in front side i am worried so much😢 what to do 😢please suggest me which one to choose and also bites out lease roaps 😢
I am using choke chain collar
I have a question : Can I use a choke collar without choking my dog?
I have a mixed breed dog, and he is losing fur around his neck. The flat collar is further tampering his fur, and I was searching for a chain-like collar. I found that the choke chain is the only one available here, and I want to know if I can use one without hurting him.
He's a good boy, doesn't pull (except during baths).
Yes u can
@@Monkoodogcan you tell how?? I mean how to use it in such a way?
You only tug the choke chain to apply corrections, if needed. The better trained your dog is, the fewer corrections will be needed. If your dog isn't pulling, there will be no choking. Do not leave the choke collar on the dog when you are not holding it.
@@NiranjanaUNair so it has two hoops one where the chain goes through and the other so you can attach the lead. you have to take both of them and attach the lead to both and then it will be a normal collar with no choking mechanism
Hey, Robert Cabral!!!
I used body collar
I have a pup pitbull that has a choke chain for traning but where’s another collar for other stuff around the house

We just got a martingale collar for our 5 months old golden retriever! Dose anybody else have the same breed and the same collar?? If so I would love to here more pros and cons about it! Thank you!
i personally use martingale for my dogs. And i have been using it for many years now and i am pretty happy with that.
@@Monkoodog Thanks for the responses! Have your dog gotten better at heal with the martingale? That’s what I’m currently trying to train using it!
You do not need to choke a puppy! He/she’s only 5 months get a harness, it won’t hurt them at all and is amazing to train with.
@@worldwidehandsome3417 We actually do have a harness that was professionally fitted.... He got out of it😑 We had him on a flag collar.... He decided to just go through he pain of the collar....... I’m thinking of getting a front clip harness...... And when he’s older we’re going he’s fully off leash trained... Also I don’t think this matters but he’s a huge puppy he’s already almost 45 pounds and that was suppose to be his actual weight.... The vet says he’s perfectly healthy just a really big doggy
@@danzsyy I get that, German Shepard’s and big dogs like them grow fast. but I really don’t suggest this collar, he can start to not enjoy walks because he will associate being choked with going on a walk. Maybe try a chest harness? It gives you control but doesn’t hurt the dog. When he pulls his body turns which leads him to stop pulling. We used this with our golden retriever at a young age and he was amazing after a few months walking with it. Although he really doesn’t get out much now since he’s 10 years old 😂
Dogo argentino is my favourite dog

I use a flat collar But for walks I use a harness
Great. We have just come with our monkoodog mobile app. Dont forget to create your pet profile on that.
I use the buckle collar it's less dangerous
All of my dogs have pincher style choker stlyle collars .and the dogs still try and lunge when being walked
Prong for training then we switched to half choke chain.
Which one does anyone recommend for a Pomeranian? (Collar will only be used for name tag with information purposes. I use harnesses for my pom) I’ve been having problems with the flat collar because the hair under the collar is always getting tangled leading to my dog getting matted hair.
Harnest is the best for every dog
My favourite is martingale but harness is also fine for pom
Why don't you try a rolled dog collar, I think it will solve your problem. The ruffwear knot-a-collar is an example
A biothane collar may help with your dogs fur getting caught, biothane collars are completely safe for your dog and you can get custom lengths from the right sellers!
My dog pulls and lunges a lot. Once he has his eyes and mind set on an object it is hard to get him to snap out. He can almost pull me to the ground. I need a collar for control.
Try prong or choke collar.

No collar will train your dog for you. "Heel" is a very basic command that all dogs should at least understand.
Try using choke chain.

I was looking for "cute dog collar" 💀
Which collar used a aggressive Labrador
For just training prong collar and for walk and all, I suggest martingale.
Harness is humane
everyday when i take my dog for a walk i make them where a 3 inch extra spike collar just in case theres another dog trys to attack my dog in the neck
In case any other dog tries to bite or your dog bites another dog, you can just lift both the back legs of the dog . The dog will leave the other dog within the fraction of a second.

@@Monkoodog lifting an determined attacking dog by the back legs not only won't make it let go but even if it did that immediately makes the owner grabbing the dog the next target. The proper way to get a determined attacking dog off your own dog is to wrap a leash around its neck and lift straight up. Yes it will hurt the attacking dog but your dog should be more important than the aggresive one trying to kill your dog.

And for those of you who DONT know: prong and choke chain collars are last resort methods for pulling dogs that can't be walked otherwise. Have you tried a halti or head collar? Slip lead? A no pulling harness? Double ended leash? Waist connection? Professional help/training? (If you can't afford to get your dog help there are other options but you should really think about the future of your pet) No? Then forget about the prong or choke collar as you clearly don't know what you're doing and are skipping steps.
I gave my dog a prong collar after trying everything else (to my knowledge) on the market (including trajners) and to this day I am still looking for any other options for him... I guess my comment is too late for some but I'm hoping to help other owners. Never resort to the least comfy option unless you really have to. More often than not a dog WONT NEED a prong or choke chain collar. I see dogs that weigh 30lbs on choke chains? Seriously? You can't handle 20 lbs?🙄
Thats we suggested that just for training purpose and not otherwise. Thanks for adding info.

I bought my dog a collar yesterday, but this morning, I saw that the collar was lying on the floor with the bell and collar torn apart, so that the collar could no longer be worn. (my dog pomeranian) what should i do? 🥲😭
This video is straight bs if you actually put on a prong collar it shouldn't pinch your dog unless you get them at walmart. You just feel pressure it no pain whatsoever it is an amazing tool because instead of having your dog detangle themselves you can correct them and use it only as a communication and not as a restraint, all training collars have their place and all work great for different dogs, and the purpose of a training collar is to teach a dog how to walk on a loose leash with corrections, if your dog chokes themselves out on it that's on you, and flat collars have no purpose except holding your dogs tags,and should not be used in leash walking in my opinion
agree with you
Can you leave the martingale collar on your dog as their regular collar? At least until he's trained well enough to consistently obey off leash, around the house etc. Our 110 lb Lab "puppy" (18 months old) came to us without consistent training. He's done well with the prong collar and choke for leash training. but around the house or yard he tends to slip out of the flat collar if you need to correct him or get his attention.
@@brendaanliker4254 GODDAM that's a big lab puppy lmao, I have a english lab too and a gsd, the marten Gail collar can be used as a flat collar but as long as it's the one that doesnt have the chain because those chains can wrap around things and choke the dog so get the one with nylon things but a flat collar shouldn't slip on if it's right on you should only be able to fit 2 fingers and nothing else so it shouldn't fall off and give the prong collar a try and learn how to use it and fit in because in the right hands it will completely change your dogs behavior on the leash and get herm Springer 3.0 mm prongs or maybe 4.0 prongs from hermsprenger but it cannot be left on all the time, hope this helps
I use a prong collar for walks, but i also have a normal flat collar.
good
I hate choke chains
Well it's a good thing choke chains dont exist though anything other than misuse of an amazing tool 🤷🏽♂️
That is bully kutta not a dog argentino
A flag collar for all the time and a prong while walking
Why tf would you use a prong. If you have to use a prong collar, shows the level of trainer you are.
I’m now getting a choke chain collar
At the end of the day regardless of what collar your using make sure your dog is trained to walk on a leash properly because at the end of the day any collar can be harmful to your dogs health if there a puller. Smh that's all you had to say.
Flat Collar: *Cool*
Martingale Collar: *Okay*
Choke Chain: *Meh*
Prong Collar: *Painful*
Slip Lead: *Meh*

Prong collars are the safest for any dog because flat colors will break the trachea if pulled on and off and prom colors distribute the weight evenly not put on one surface which is their throat I want you to press on your lower throat and then press five of your fingers up on your throat it won’t hurt any

@@Monkoodog but my dogs need to be punished

Both have different purpose, for very stubborn and aggresive dog a prong collar is suggested. And you have to make him familiar with the prong collar. For example just put on him for a 1 day or 2 for like 30 mins a day and then start training after 2-3 days when he is familiar with the prong collar.
Exactly! Many people don't like them because they do look mean but they are good tools when used correctly

@@Monkoodog I'm gonna re-watch the video start to finish and try to give a good in depth response because it seems like in your search of the "five most common collars" you also went with a lot of word of mouth information rather than ones based in the structure of the dog and the way the tools actually work. I'd also argue the collars you picked aren't top five, but that's for a different comment. If you'd like to have me help you work on an updated video about a larger variety of tools I'd be glad to help out. But let's get started:
1. The Flat Collar- It wasn't something you said, but more something you didn't say and showed wrong. Flat collars, fitted appropriately, should be placed high up behind the dogs ears and sit snug (but not tightly) without slipping down. The farther down any collar sits on a dog's neck, the more risk it presents to damaging the trachea. One of the biggest reasons dogs pull on flat collars (other than owners improperly introducing the dog to a collar and encouraging pulling even if they don't mean to) is because of this improper fitting where the collar sits low on the neck. Quick release collars are much easier to fit properly.
2. The Martingale Collar- martingales often come in full nylon or match the fabric throughout, I actually have a hard time finding a martingale that's partially chain, but you did note other types exist so I'll give you that, but I also noticed you don't mention how the collar you present is improperly made, the chain on that collar is far too large for it to work smoothly and thus properly you also fit it poorly again, martingales sit high up just like every other collar and should sit relatively snug, definitely not with Enough space to fit your entire hand under it. Also martingales don't work like slip chains, they work more like limited slip collars, slip chains have no pre-set stopping point, whereas martingales can only "tighten" so much before the collar prevents it from going further and causing more potential damage to the dog when used improperly.
3. "Choke Chain"- that title alone is misinformation/misleading as is. Choke chains do not choke a dog when used appropriately, they are appropriately called slip chains, as the loop slips over the dogs head, and the ring smoothly slides along the chain when appropriately sized. Which leads me to my next point, the slip chain you got is way too big and the chain itself is also too big. Also anyone can use a slip chain if they do proper research and if they are uncomfortable doing it on their own they can get help from a trainer. The only "trainers" I've seen move away from slip chains and slip leads are ones who don't know what they're doing and hurt a dog or who are part of the "purely positive force free" crowd who have absolutely no clue what they are doing at all. Slip lead pros that were missed: slip leads are a great tool to use when weaning off a prong collar or flat collar, as they give very gentle and smooth communication to a dog that is on the final stages of walking properly on leash. Also a warning that slip leads should never be used on a dog that pulls because of the risk of damage but usage alone is not a risk in and of itself.
4. Prong Collars- prongs are not only used for correction. They are used for communication. They also work more like a martingale than a slip chain/slip lead. Prong collars do not have to sit behind the ears 100%, there's a great saying "high and tight isn't always right" with prong collars. In general they should sit at or above the midway point of the neck, never below. Prong collars should also be placed so the slip part of the prong where you attach the leash is above or slightly to the side of the dogs neck, not underneath like you placed it at first. I would also have specifically stated the only safe prong collar to use is the Herm Sprenger prong collar. No other brand. You also attached the leash wrong, the leash should be attached directly to the live ring only (which is the ring you wrongly attached with the second collar) and a carabineer should be used to attach the backup collar to the DEAD ring, the one that doesn't move and the one you (wrongly) didn't attach it to. Also prongs have a lot of benefits: prongs provide clear smooth communication to the dog, prongs are safer than flat collars when used appropriately, it is nearly impossible for a dog to choke itself on a prong, prongs are made of very strong metal so they are more likely to come apart than break, which means they are easy to reattach and keep going with your training or walk and most importantly, prongs do NOT cause pain when used appropriately. The only cons?: When used improperly just like any other tool it can cause injury. That's it. Also the prong you put on your dog is way too big, there are only two sizes of Herm Sprenger that should be used, the 2.25mm, and the 3.0mm. the 2.25 should be used by default, the only reason a 3.0mm would be needed is if the dog has a very thick, sense coat that the 2.25 can't get through (even huskies and Chihuahuas should wear the 2.25 mm).
5. Slip Lead- not directly related to this but you mentioned it so I'm talking about it, harnesses are not for dogs that have issues pulling, a harness should NEVER be used on a dog that is not pulling for a purpose (for example sled dogs or guide dogs) and is just pulling because of excitement etc. Also a "slip lead harnesses" just sounds dangerous, there's no padding, no solid structure to the harness, and I garuntee it wouldn't fit comfortably or correctly. On to the actual slip lead, NO tool should be left on a dog unattended, and any dog can be injured from ANY tool if the tool is used improperly.
And as a sum up, you say at the end "walk along beside you without pulling" the ONLY collars that should be used on a dog that's pulling are Prong collars and starmark collars, then you can wean off the prong/starmark with limited slip collars, martingale collars, slip chains, etc. Until eventually you get to a dog that walks well on a flat or Martingale collar. Dogs can stay on a prong for communication purposes though too.
Also the fact you recommend a flat collar for pulling is incredibly dangerous, almost as dangerous as an improperly used slip chain.
