Can I use a fur-saver collar during the Canine Good Citizen test?
My 20 month old GSD is all business when he's wearing any sort of metal collar (or a vest), but when he just has a flat nylon collar, he pulls like a crazy man. I don't even have to put the fur-saver on the live loop, just having a heavier metal collar does the trick.
Has anyone gone through a CGC test using a fur-saver?
From the AKC website:
Equipment
All tests must be performed on leash. Dogs should wear well-fitting buckle or slip collars made of leather, fabric, or chain. Special training collars such as pinch collars, head halters, etc. are not permitted in the CGC test. We recognize that special training collars may be very useful tools for beginning dog trainers, however, we feel that dogs are ready to take the CGC test at the point at which they are transitioned to regular collars.
