A choke chain should not be treated like a regular collar. It's a training aid for correcting your dog's behaviour. When you use a check chain you should only use short pulls-not long or violent tugs. To use a check chain, you'll need to attach one end of the chain to a leash. Next, pull the chain through the loop at the other end, creating a "p" shape. You can then loop the chain around your dog's neck, making sure that the chain still looks like a "p" when you face the dog. Putting a check chain on a dog incorrectly (i.e. backward) or failing to use the chain correctly can lead to serious injury for your pet. So, if you're going to use this type of collar, be careful to attach it properly and not overuse it. How Check Chains Work. Check chains work by taking the dog's attention off whatever is causing them to act out.
