(ever heard of a dog being pinched to death? No..me neither. Sure have heard of many dogs being choked to death or suffering damage to the trachea from choke collars though.)
No WorkinDogz, but then I've never heard of a dog being choked to death from a choke collar. But then it's all in the handler & his/her training methods. Wich falls in your next comment.

Any training tool; including the halti can fall into the "inhumane" catagory if used incorrectly and inappropriately.

It's the responsibility of the owner to educate themselves on proper useage of any collar or training device.

Just remember...the collar is a training tool and not a crutch. No training tool will ever replace GOOD, CONSISTANT TRAINING
This comment I couldn't have said better myself. Very wise words.
