| Their policy is based upon public perception and the fact that most of their training students are pet owners. If that is where you need to go, go along with what you need to do to get your dog out and socialized with a bit of training thrown in, just make sure you have a good pocket full of treats to compensate for the lack of being able to give a good correction. If you will put your slip collar up behind the ears, you will have a good control spot for it. (You'll need to practice keeping it there, but it is possible). Then use your pinch on your own time away from the class for some more serious work. Make sure you put it on properly and fit it correctly.
