Great pics and thank you for teaching ppl about those collars....I find they are much much safer than the choke collars. Many ppl do NOT know how to use choke collars correctly and the animals suffer.

Oh yes, I definitely agree. I really don't like choke collars at all. I'm not sure why they are so popular other than they are about 10% of the price of a pinch collar. I wish I didn't have to use this collar on her, but walking her with a plain leather/nylon collar is way too dangerous. I get a lot of people who stop me and say "wow that's a vicious collar!" and I have to explain to them the difference between pinch and choke and it's far less aggressive/painful than a choke collar. You can try it yourself, put a choke collar on your wrist yank it, then put a pinch collar on your wrist and yank it. I guess it's kind of like using pressure points rather than squeezing something till it can't breathe.

Not trying to hi-jack your thread... But have you ever seen or tried one of these collars? (http://www.dog.com/item/follow-me-head-collar/420457/) I had a Lab that would pull, even on a pinch collar. This collar worked wonders.

And nice pictures of a beautiful animal.

Yes, and I have one. I don't like them because they make her walk funny. I need her to stay beside me and aligned. With the Gentle Lead she walks in front of me too far and doesn't stay aligned. Right now all I do is show her in obedience, and I don't need her to be walking all cockeyed next to me. If I didn't show her I would definitely use it.

And thank you
