Choke Training Collar

Using a choke collar with small dogs?

I have used choke collars for my positive/negative training form for a while. I have a friend who has an aggressive chihuahua and I was wondering if you should deal with an aggressive Small Dog the same way you would with a larger dog; with the use of a choke collar. Or does it being smaller make a difference, even though they come in the size fit for a chihuahua and the strength for such a dog.

Back up your response with information.
forgive me for the repost. It is because i originally wasn’t getting any responses and i didnt know if my terms were confusing people.

If you are using a choke chain PROPERLY , key word being PROPERLY with only slight pops to correct the dog and never any other form of choking, then yes, a choke chain can technicaly be used with a Small Breed, although I prefer slip collars as they actually pop better and there are no chains to become tangled.

HOWEVER, I don’t recomend you even think about training an aggressive chi yourself, especially if you have to ask how to properly use the training tools. Find an experienced trainer, and take it from there. Choke chains can be very affective, but only if used properly and in the right circumstances. With such a small dog you run a large risk of seriously injuring or killing the dog if you use a choke chain improperly. Each dog is different. Not all dogs respond to choke chains and similiar techniques. I don’t even like using choke chains on smaller dogs. I think all other methods should be used first, because the risk is very high for injury if you use the choke chain incorrectly.
