Who's walking who? Certain dog breeds are known to pull very hard when walking. This energy and excitement can inadvertently cause harm to your dog's neck. Some neck collars, especially pinch collars and choke chains, can damage the trachea and cause breathing problems or worsen conditions like collapsed trachea. It's important to always keep a collar with an ID tag on your dog, but if your dog is a puller, try a harness, like a no-pull harness, to protect your dog's neck and have a more enjoyable walk.
