Very true.. and they worked well when I was training my previous chow. She responded very quickly with just the chain.
My second dog I trained, was 3/4 wolf, and responded incredibly well to a harness...
We went through both with Gigi, and while the choker was fine 75% of the time, she is over emotional, and anytime she saw somebody she wanted to meet during a training or walking session, she would choked herself to the point of gagging trying to scramble towards them.
We put her on the new lead, and instant... literally seconds like, day and night change... no struggles, pays complete attention to training, and is doing much better off leash as well as on since we changed over...
The pic above is our adorable puppy working the sad face... she's a true master...
