Product Description

Teach your dogs through positive punishment
Professional trainers claim that there are different tools you can use for dogs. For pinch collars, they are better suited for those dogs that have fatty and furry necks because the prongs won’t bite easily to their skin. But when it comes to smaller dogs with thinner necks, you can buy a different collar. However, the kind of training remains the same. This technique simply discourages your dog from doing anything that is out of line.

Positive punishment is an effective training choice
Positive punishment is a technique used by dog trainers and owners when altering the behavior of their dog. Similar to humans, dogs get discouraged when a negative consequence follows a certain action. This is what positive punishment does. In psychology, when a negative consequence follows a certain behavior, the person or in this case, the dog, avoids the said behavior just to avoid the negative consequence.

Love them through knowing and training them
On the other hand, there is another operant conditioning that trainers and owners do. It’s called positive reinforcement wherein they reinforce a dog’s behavior by giving them a reward after the right behavior is done. You can see this when owners give their dogs treats as a reward for doing a trick, peeing in the right place, etc. These two kinds of behavioral conditioning are the most common ways on how trainers and owners teach their dogs how to behave.

Measure the size and choose the right collar for your dog
A good collar will never puncture your dog’s skin. Purchasing the right kind of prong collar lessens the likelihood your dog will experience pain while wearing it. Quality prong collars are designed to gently pinch the loose skin around the dog’s neck, providing negative reinforcement in the event of pulling and misbehaving. The right size is important. Collars are divided by weight distinction, so know how much your dog weighs before selecting a collar.

Stop using the collar once your dog no longer needs it
Prong collars are not meant for long-term use. Working with a certified trainer, get your dog to a place where he has learned proper leash manners and no longer pulls. Once your dog has mastered good walking techniques, you no longer need to use the collar.
