like the animal's weight, his age and if it is for walk or training purposes. But be careful: a wrong choice can lead to accidents.

  The leashes can also prevent dogs to be frightened by the traffic in the streets.

To first thing we should think of is the animal's well being. The most common collars and leashes are made of:

 

Leather: they are more resistant, but they deserve greater care. The old and the wet ones can cause fungi. Regularly check your pet's hair under the collar.

 

 

Nylon: they develop fewer microorganisms and do not keep humidity. They are ideal for bathing the dog.

 

 

Cloth: they are fragile and used as an accessory. In most cases, the neck collar is more adequate, because it provides more control without injuring or restraining the movements.

 

 

Dog harnesses: they indicated for small dogs or puppies. On big dogs, the owner does not get the control of them because of the animal's strength, but the advantage is that it avoids wounds in the trachea.

 

 

Choke chains or pinch collars: only a professional should use them for training purposes. They can cause wounds in the trachea and in the cervical column.
