    I've used the "pincher" collars in the past and they are very effective. They have the blunt prongs that point inward. They are actually safer than the regular chain chokers - they can't close too tight so never put unsafe pressure on your dog's throat. This is especially important for puppies that don't have fully developed support in their necks. The pinching effect (put it on your arm or leg and give it a try) really gets their attention. That's the important part. You have to communication with your partner. Just give a swift, sharp pull (be cool), and in a stern (but not harsh or out of control) voice say "No." And don't forget to praise the dog when he/she is doing things correctly. They have to understand what you do want as much as what you don't want.

    • Not! they can be highly dangerous if not properly fit by an expert.
