Q: What kind of dog leash or collar should I use?
A: Always use the least painful possible, usually a flat nylon buckle collar and a 4- to 6-foot lead is best. For dogs that have a tendency to pull while walking, there are several specially made harnesses and leads to help prevent them from doing so.
