As it was explained to me by my vet and by trainers, large dogs have very thick muscles and skin in the neck. Because of this they barely notice any correction/pulling action that you make when training. Most dogs will learn to walk with any type of lead after enough training, but if something unexpected comes along you might have a hard time maintaining control if your dog is large and strong. Regular chain choke collars are more uncomfortable for the dogs because it catches their fur in the links, even if they are not pulling. This collar simply applies a more direct pressure, which the dog notices, rather than the constriction of a chain choke collar.
Because I live in a rural area with deer, etc. my vet suggested that I use this collar so that I'm not pulled down by the dogs if they attempt to chase other animals. Even the most well behaved dog can get overly excited with the natural instincts kick in. My dogs used to do some pulling at the start of our walks with a regular collar. With this one they don't make any attempt to pull at all. They have never shown any distress with this collar on, never pulled, never any injury, nothing. It hangs loosely around their necks while we walk. They absolutely do not mind wearing it at all. They sit patiently and wait for me to put it on. They walk nicely right by my side with no tension at all on the leash. If you purchase this collar remember that you only put it on before the walk and take it off after. No choke or training collar should be left on all of the time.Get more detail about Pet Supply Imports - Chrome Plated Training Collar w/ Quick Release Snap Medium, 3.0mm.
