    Rally and collars

    Hi folks,
     
    Just spent the day at Lousiville show and was in Rally.  The "training" "slip" "choke" style collars are allowed, as are buckle.  I know someone posted earlier about the topic and just could not remember the poster with the question.

    This was an akc show?  I am hoping so as I have been training in a slip collar.  I have a Golden Retriever and I don't know if she would listen to a buckle collar (she kinda has ADHD, hehe!).  I appreciate the post back, just wanted to make sure it was an akc show.  Thanks again, Lisa

    Yup AKC show with AKC obedience rep in attendance and workign Rally a good part of the time.  Lots of dogs on slip collars.  Didnt actually see any martigales, but some of the dogs have heavy coats that hide collars.  Most of the participants were on slip collars.  Remember however, every time that collar tightens or you appear to be guiding by the leash, lost points.  Slip collars really make that evident.  Need that "J" loop with the snap hanging down.

    Thank you so much, I have had differing opinions, but I think some are not akc.  I will get to work on the slip collar right away.
