| Re: Pinch Collars
I also use the sit stay at the side of the trail in conjunction with the leave it command while the other dog passes by. This works much better when people don't stop on the trail to say hello. I have started giving the leave it command loud enough for the other dog owner to hear so as to get the hint that we are training and please keep walking by. I use pinches on both dogs just to ensure I have control as I generally have both by myself and they are stronger than I am, I almost never have to correct anymore though. It does take diligence and consistency however you handle it for anything to work. We tried a gentle leader, my shepherd cried bloody murder the whole time and refused to even budge out of the living room. Consequently we returned those. |
