What do you think of self correction collars for big dogs that are out of control? Self correction collars are also known as pinch collars. Do you think that they are inhumane?

Hi Lars. Any collar can be "inhumane" depending on the user and the strength being exerted. If I understand you correctly you are talking about the prong collars. Used correctly, placed correctly on the neck, a quick snatch and release, I have no problem with it's use. I would strongly urge anyone contemplating using one to go to a professional trainer for instruction, training classes - preferably both. You may find with the proper training, the collar would not be necessary. I do know that some trainers instruct their elderly clients on it's use. Many times the trainer will correct the dog during a class, the elderly person takes the dog from the trainer and the dog behaves perfectly - just wearing the collar is correction enough for some dogs.
