Oh he most definitely had a mouth. And LOTS of teeth which he liked to use on people.

in my childhood I used to care for the same kind of dog thats black in your picture.

**MacGyver1968** · 10-27-09, 08:05 AM

What's that metal thing around the black dog's neck?

...see it's not a fashion contest. It's about the security of other people, and dogs. Where I live it's law to make your dog wear a muzzle. Muzzles don't go hand in hand with spikey chain collars.

**one_raven** · 10-27-09, 12:19 PM

If it doesn't hurt them, it isn't inhumane.
Even the spikey collars don't hurt (if you get the right ones)

If the ends are rounded, they don't hurt.
And if they work to help train the dog and keep it under control in situations where the dog could otherwise injure itself, that it not inhumane.

Looks horribly like a choke chain to me....

You shouldn't need to use cruelty to train a dog.....

and

dogs should be put down - usually dogs requiring muzzles fall into that category sad to say....

If it is fitted properly, it does not close all the way. No choking.

I agree.
I don't.
I train dogs in a very similar way to the way dogs train dogs - restraint, consistency and dominance.

Not at all true.

What is the purpose of a spiky chain?

**PsychoTropicPuppy** · 10-27-09, 12:35 PM

...My dogs don't require muzzles, but LAW demands it otherwise you'll have to pay a fine.

Restraint.
It mimics the way alpha dogs restrain a misbehaving pack member by grabbibg it by the throat.
If made properly and fitted properly it does not hurt at all, but it triggers the automatic response of backing down to the throat grab.
Dogs can not protect their throat, so if they are grabbed by the throat, they stop.
It is probably the MOST humane way to keep an aggressive dog under control in what could otherwise be escalating danger.
