choke chain

Constricting dog collar

A choke chain is a loop of chain used as a dog collar, designed to tighten around the neck when the dog pulls or the handler gives a corrective jerk.

The discomfort discourages pulling on the leash.

Training methods using choke chains have fallen out of favor as understanding of animal behavior has advanced.

Also called a choke collar.
