Extensive pulling against a collar (especially a choke chain) can eventually result in damage to a dog's larynx. It seldom will hurt the dog's neck muscles.
Repeated pulling on a dog collar is extremely dangerous and can cause choking, wheezing and coughing, leading to damage to the dog' trachea and in serious cases eventually the dog's spinal columb. It also hurts. An anti-pull dog harness can prevent this, along with training your dog to walk without pulling. I've left links below with information about dog harnesses and a 10 step training routine for getting your dog to stop pulling.

I would get some type of pulling harness then let the dog pull you cause it is good exerise and the dog probably enjoy's it! It depends: If you are using the ordinary choke collar on your dog then this is very bad. For pulling the dog needs a proper harness. Some breeds of dogs actually enjoy pulling: huskys, malamutes, Samoyes (not the toy kind), newfoundlanders, labradors, st bernards, dog of berdoux, etc. if your dog doesn't appear to be enjoying the activity then it is unfortunate and wrong. It is true that there are dogs that enjoy pulling more then others I have a malamute and I got her the proper pulling harness and she pulls me on a scooter and loves it. Only do it if your dog enjoys it!!

Absolutely not. It can cause permanent damage to your dog. If you happen to have a dog who is egged on by pain or ignorant to pain and will not stop pulling against the collar (many pit bulls are this way), it may kill them. Ground stakes are simply not good ways to put your dog outside. Fences, invisible fences, or simply you holding a leash are more humane, safe ways to keep your dog at home.
