The training collar.
What's the one, most useful piece of equipment for training your dog? The jerk collar, or choker chain. But before you can begin to train with one, you must first get your dog used to wearing a collar and leash. Fasten a soft collar on it for a few hours every day until your dog seems not to be bothered by it. Then, attach a leash and, again, let the dog get used to it.

Unless you have an extremely tiny breed (in which case, you may train with the soft collar), you can now fit your dog with a metal-link training collar that measures 2.5 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) larger than your dog's neck. Be sure that the links are large enough so that they don't pinch or tear your dogs fur. (Test this on your own hare arm —if it doesn't pinch you, it won't hurt the dog).

Fit the collar so that, with the dog on your left (the "proper" side) you can see both rings. The collar should run from the "dead" ring (pull it, the collar won't tighten), under the dog's neck, up over the dog's neck, ending with the "live" ring (pull it, the collar tightens) passing through the "dead." Now, when you "pop" the collar with a quick jerking motion, you can be sure that it releases just as soon as you ease the pressure.

The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the U.S., a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully recreate the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was made in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the U.S.
