Buying a collar or leash for your dog should not be done casually.
The breed of your dog, its size and what your training goals are all must be considered when choosing the proper dog collars and leashes. Training to change bad behavior of a large breed will certainly require a different dog collar than one used to obedience train a small sheltie.
Most large dog breeds have muscular necks which protect them fairly well from injury from prong collars and choke collars. But greyhounds are easily injured by such collars. And they should never be used on small and toy breeds. Our daughter trained her sheltie in a 4H program and did well but the 4H leader insisted in a choke collar that I know hurt the dog. Thankfully he learned fast and did not fight it.
If you have any doubt about the type of dog collar and leash you should buy, talk to a good trainer or your veterinarian for advice.
