Why is it called a choker collar?
It is called a choker collar( or a choker chain), because if your dog say for example, has seen a cat, and goes to chase it, you either pull on the lead or (if the dog is not strong enough to pull you) stand your ground, therefore choking the dog. The dog knows it must stop in order to bring an end to the choking.
