The restraining device that dog has around it’s neck tells me all I need to know about the breed.

Or maybe it’s just the doggie version of dog gay pride?

I looks like the ordinary harness I used when walking my dogs-especially my Siberian Husky-like any dog, big strong dogs can try to take off after a squirrel or rabbit-or a neighbor’s wandering cat-on one of the trails in the woods-that harness helps to bring them back to heel with less effort-never walked any of my doggies without a harness...

The “restraining device” is a martingale collar, a type of “limited choke collar” that can only close to a certain point.

Used mostly on Sighthounds and other dogs whose owners want to inflict no damage to the dog’s delicate neck structure.

Why does that trigger you?

I received a very, very special present today. Leah from mydogflair.com sent me this beautiful collar.
The card attached reads: "Ray! Congrats on your new home. I saw on FB that your family wanted a rainbow collar for you. :-)
I made this just for you!" Mom wanted me to wear a rainbow so that I'd never be seen as a red collar dog again. Thank you Leah.
I will wear it with pride! (I have to wear my DogTown collar for 2 more weeks, but then I'll post pictures in my new styling threads!)

I see a harness which is considered more humane than a collar but I also see the rainbow thing. Just decoration I think.
