Sudi the deal with the chain gandg is not to just leave them there for days ...but in between while your trianing...the 18 inch snug to the ground ..what this is doing is teaching the dog that if it wants release from pressure on the neck it must relax and lay down..or be still then as you go to the...

I still have to say ...that AVOIDANCE is the best thing and that the vaccine is a good back up for the accidental run over....
