Thanks for your question. Generally when a dog won't walk on the pinch collar there are a couple reasons. First, the collar may have too many links in it and not giving the dog a motivational correction. Secondly, you may not be snapping the leash properly.
The snap needs to be quick and abrupt.
We have a book coming out later this year on how to use a pinch collar. Stay tuned for announcements. Thanks,
I have 5 dogs & 4 cats in my home,I'm sure they would have been taken to a shelter or euthanized had I not taken them in. I was quite reluctant to try the quick release pinch collar. My dog was pulling me around and choking himself. I have multiple sclerosis which affects my balance and walking.Since we started using the quick release pinch collar Hines is not choking himself or pulling me. When I pick the collar up & shake it Hines comes to me. We love the quick release pinch collar :)
Thanks for your comments. The prong collar has helped many people with some physical limitations to be able to control their dog and take them for walks.
as the loving owner of a 11 month old very strong german shepherd im not a fan of the choke collar due to the constant pressure on his throat, here enters the quick release pinch collar. it has transformed him into a well obedient and great trained dog. when at home or at a frinds farm he has no collar or leash at all but for his own safety walking on a busy road or in a parking lot he needs to be at my side for his own safety. when the collar is on, he listens and he is safe. i love my dog
I understand your distaste for traditional dog training techniques as well as meat. 75 percent of dogs that are surrendered to rescue groups is due to an unresolved behavior or obedience problem. Over 10 million of these dogs are euthanized by the Humane Society every year. Training a dog and correcting the problem is better than having the animal put to sleep. If you treat your dog like a human, your dog will treat you like an animal.
Thanks for your comments. I agree with you that a pinch collar is an inappropriate training tool for a child. There are several similarities which humans and dogs share. There are many distinct differences. Some people that have failed to make these distinctions have had training challenges.
After 15 years of training dogs for a living my observations are that people will choose between a particular method of training or a particular goal.
I fill to believe thats not a dog and his best friend out for a walk but a master and slave, like if a slave does something wrong they get punish. this isn't right to me,I think you should just try to correct the problem a different way, try teaching your dog heel i hear its really affective and it is extremely safe for the dog. I'm not trying to tell people what to do are anything I'm just basing my opinion.
@Jessica1b14 Actually this is a "master and dog", "alpha and subordinate", and "dog and best friend". Yes, dogs are man's best friend. However I guarantee if you have a dog you are considered the alpha. This collar is used TO train the dog how to heel. The alpha should always walk in front of his subordinates, not the other way around.
@Jessica1b14 You can't treat a dog as a best friend on every level - a dog needs to know that its place is below its human family. Dogs can be dangerous weapons - and treating them like humans or even worse, children, allows them to think they have the right to keep people in check (can lead to biting, growling etc).
It's difficult to teach excitable dogs to heel, and even then, distractions can throw commands out of the window. It's the owner's responsibility to keep the dog and public safe.
Thanks for your comment. Every training device ever invented can be an effective training tool if used properly. There is so much information on the internet that some people just don't know where to turn for reliable information and education.
I know that many people are not fond of the pinch collar and your comment really does not apply to a pinch collar but a choke chain. Choke chains if used improperly (abusively) can cause the injury you referred to in rare cases with certain breeds that have a predisposed weakness in this area such as Laso's and Boston terriers. (Dogs with eyes that bulge) To make is sweeping statement on what is a rare exception really isn't accurate or fair. Tom
Prong collars are a good way to cause a Sharp increases in pressure inside the head, which can cause brain or eye damage and sometimes prolapse of the eye!
Jonny Rambo - Not every dog is going to respond to the pinch collar. It may take some time and improved training techniques before he understands what you want from him. The pinch collar is for "on leash" training. You may want to consult a dog training in your area that is familiar with using a "remote training" collar in a safe and humane way to get your pit to respond "off leash." dogman
my pitbull is very stubborn, when he sees other dogs walk by he'll want to go play with them and doesn't listen to a word i say. he's pissing me off. he has a prong collar but it got too small for him so i haven't buy him a new one yet. you got to answer this cause i need help bad or i might euthenize him myself. oh and when he's at the dog park he doesn't listen either, he just run off to go play with other dogs. i trained everyday and spent a lot of time with him.
The dog is "under control" because it hurts to pull. Then to boot, the kid is snapping it for no apparent reason, and even uses a correction along with telling the dog to sit. Sloppy :( There's better ways to train, but people like the easy quick fixes.
Thanks for your comments on the new quick release pinch collar. You make a valid point that the kid in the video is "snapping the collar for no apparent reason." The kid is only 13 years old and just learning how to train his dog. One of the points of the video is that you don't need to be a professional dog trainer to be able to get an unruly dog to walk on a leash and with practice even a kid can improve his technique without hurting himself or the dog.
@tombeitz I understand it's a young kid, and I'm not so extreme that I don't think a prong is ever a good tool *in the right hands*...however, teaching a kid (or novice dog handler) timing and consequences using positive techniques, I feel is optimal, because it's not going to have any negative fallout. A kid can also walk an unruly dog on a sensation harness, without hurting themselves or the dog :
Every dog trainer has a responsibility to teach the pet owner the proper use of any training device. The sensation harness and the gentle leader both use negative reinforcement to control the dog. When the dog yields to the pressure (unpleasantness) on either device it learns it can avoid the unpleasantness of the device. Some devices have the perception of being more positive than others but from an operant conditioning standpoint, they are the same. Thanks for your input.
@HeartdogGSD thank you i feel the same way and i am so angry because i hate prong collars those hurt your dog alot and it is bad to use a prong collar if it were from me i'd say to hell with prong collars because these hurts ur dog alot think about it
Yay for prong collars! Our dog pulls SO hard. He is a Pit Bull mix and he practically strangles himself on walks with his nylon collar. We tried the "Gentle Leader" head collar - didn't work for crap on our dog. He ignored it. It was fit perfectly, too.
@Shazamm17 wat the fuck i hope u fucking die in hell no rot in hell fucking prong collars should be vanished just like people like u should vanish to these hurt ur dog alot heir are non hurtful ways to train and to learn how to walk ur dog the correct way u are a torturer fucking rot in hell u fucking motherfucking bitch
@kartastic123 there's is no one way to train a dog, so relax and look at other options, do you think that in a wolf pack they ask the young pups to do things or tell them. Yes in the wrong hand a prong could be very dangerous so could a shoe! and also this kid want to learn and is taking directions very well. SO STOP WITH YOU DUMB PETA RANT!!

@lisjenn If your choke collar causes constant pressure on the throat, your dog is wearing it backwards

Safe and effective if used properly. Some people need to get off their soapbox and get educated.
