I must say that i disagree with this statement i have used a pinch, training, and a halti on my dogs before and feel that when properly used a training collar is just as effective of a method. It is meant to place pressure on the dogs neck and then release. The name choke chain comes from improper use where the running part of the chain goes under the neck and catches on it's self. If put over the neck gravity slides the second ring towards the ground allowing it to release. Both training and pinch collars are meant as temporary wear devices and if left on the animal can cause death. I have heard of and had neighbors experience this with both collars. My dog only wears his training colllar when I am completely watching him such as obedience classes and then wears a flat buckle leather collar at all other times.
