 This is so cruel, needs to be reported to ASPCA, June 22 ,2009

What happened to gentle training and positive reinforcement? When a dog pulls, with a regular collar, just stop everytime he pulls and make him sit. When sitted, praise and walk. He pulls, do it again. It might take some time but you should manage. Forget about this sadistic device.

I bought this collar to replace a metal training collar my australian shepherd out grew. I like that the teeth on this one are not as sharp, however, it still does the job. I went a couple of weeks with a choker chain before I got this new collar and my dog almost pulled me down twice. My dog is very quick on her feet, however, this one is keeping her inline very nicely!!

 There is a more effective alternative-, March 28 ,2009

Prong collars, we are told by the manufacturer, are to be used only as a temporary training method. (i.e, 1-2 weeks.)
Unfortunately, the vast majority of people end up using this device as a long term solution.

There is ample evidence showing that collars that pinch or choke actually increase aggression and fear in dogs, in the long term, and- dogs are at risk of significant neck trauma if a handler improperly uses this type of collar.

If you are contemplating purchasing a collar that pinches or chokes, know that other effective, and safer, training tools are available.

For a few bucks more, and for a product that lasts, check out the high quality Sense-ible or
Sense-ation harness, by Softouch Concepts
SENSE-ation No-Pull Dog Harness - Black Large (Wide)

This is a very effective and humane training tool that Certified Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT), those who use Positive and Humane Training Techniques, and Applied Animal Behaviorialists recommend.
After fitting it properly, this harness IMMEDIATELY stopped my very strong Siberian Husky from lunging forward and pulling me on every walk; and, it did so in a way that did not hurt her in any way.

I also highly recommend reading any of Patricia McConnell's excellent books, such as
Family Friendly Dog Training: A Six Week Program for You and Your Dog

Best of luck!

 Great product, March 21 ,2009

This collar is very effective in helping to maintain control over our 106 pound rottweiler when he gets focused on something we need him to ignore. It is strong and has held when he strained with all his might.

 Great Training Collar, November 25 ,2008

This collar is great! We were told about it by the couple we adopted our rescued German Shepherd from. The way it's made, we don't have to worry about the collar getting hung-up on links or snagged on anything in the environment. Our dog respects the collar, and we love that is provides us with extra control that doesn't hurt him.

 StarMark Dog Clicker, June 25 ,2009
ESEver (Edwards, CO)
I bought this to try and keep my dog from wandering away from home, or to call her back if she does. Tried it two days and it didn't seem effective. So the third day I spent $660 getting my invisible fence up and running, and buying a new control collar. I didn't really want to do this as the fence and collar control the dog by pain and fear.

Of course, as luck would have it she caught on by the third day that the sound of this clicker was ALWAYS associated with a waiting treat! Now she stays nearby, and looks with anticipation at my right pocket. Often I reward her with a click and a treat for just being good and staying in our yard. The clicker is quite small, not even visible in a ladies pants pocket. I just press against my pocket to make it click, so that is easy. Problem is... for a few days now it's disappeared into a pocket somewhere in the house!

But the training seems to have formed a habit for her, so I really don't need it as much if at all.

I have just started using this with my little dog and it works much better than I ever thought it would. The sound seems to get his attention and now that he associates it with good things we are on our way to learning the basics of good manners.

 Softer sound for dogs who are afraid of clickers, June 18 ,2009
K. Hunt (Albuquerque, NM United States)
I am clicker training both of my dogs and one of them was really scared of the clicker sound at first. I tried three different brands and of all three, she tolerated this one the best and is now very excited and eager to participate in clicker training. I paid about $5, which is an awful lot of money in my opinion for a small piece of plastic and metal (especially when I tend to lose them!), otherwise I would give it five stars.
