Dog training pinch collar

One of the problems with the devices available to pet owners who are looking for help to control their dog's pulling is that when the dog is using the device he can not pull but then once he is put back on a regular collar he simply goes right back to pulling. He was simply inhibited in his pulling habit. So if you really want your dog to give up pulling you must train him to do so and not rely solely the dog training pinch collar. It is after all just an aid and not a well thought out and executed training program.
