I would suggest YOU do exactly that before you open your mouth. Firstly, I don't use a choke. Secondly, the WAY in which a tool is USED is FAR more important than the tool itself. It really doesn't matter what collar you put on your dog, even if it was invented in ancient Egypt, if the basis of your training is that the collar is only incidental. I'm surprised you aren't aware that the collar isn't the teacher, the handler is.
