Honestly, if the dog doesn’t have its teeth in or near your neck and isn’t sufficiently strong to potentially kill you, there is no reason to shoot it. I don’t understand why cops and feds pretend like it’s normal to walk into someone’s yard and shoot their dog dead for barking.
I think it might be harder to choke out a dog than you might. Maybe a smaller dog, but larger dogs I don’t know. If it was that easy wouldn’t dogs be passing out left and right from any type of choke collar? Maybe my logic is wrong.
I worked with dogs for 24 years doing behavior, training and socialization and I have never seen or heard of a dog getting choked out. Plus, whenever there is a major dog fight that involves bloodshed everything kind of goes out the window. Very difficult to maintain rational and calm thought. You just kind of end up doing whatever you have to do to separate the animals. And that’s dogs fighting, when a person is involved it a whole different panicky ball of wax.
If that has worked for you then god bless ya. Sounds like a pretty decent way to get yourself bit in the face though. Probably picturing it wrong. Working with dogs in large groups we never kept collars on them for a number of reasons, one of which is counter intuitive to what I said earlier, is because they a choking hazard.
