TLDRThe video focuses on various types of training collars, outlining their uses and the importance of selecting the appropriate one for a dog's specific needs. It explains different kinds of collars, such as flat collars, martingale collars, pinch collars (also known as prong collars), and slip chain collars. Each type has its characteristics and purposes. Flat collars are ideal for calm dogs or puppies but can cause trachea damage if a dog pulls too much. Martingale collars offer more control for slightly difficult dogs. Prong collars, though controversial, provide significant control for stubborn dogs by mimicking a dog bite, but require proper use to avoid harm. Slip chain collars require precise handling. The video emphasizes that training collars should not be left on dogs when unattended. Additionally, there is concern over the potential banning of prong collars, which may affect owners' ability to control strong dogs. Licensing trainers to provide such collars could be a better approach than blanket bans.

الجدول الزمني

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    The speaker introduces the topic of dog collars, noting that while not all are suitable for training, each has a specific use. The standard buckle collar is recommended for puppies, placid, older dogs, or as a finished collar for trained dogs. The speaker warns against buckle style collars that can break and cause dogs to get free, recommending those with a Cobra clasp for added security.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    The martingale collar is introduced as a stronger communication tool than the flat collar. It's useful for dogs needing more feedback, providing a slight cinch for correction. The speaker criticizes slower, webbing-based martingales for poor performance and emphasizes the importance of quick feedback.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    The speaker discusses pinch collars, including the classic steel prong and plastic star mark collars. They clarify that these collars mimic a dog's bite to give feedback, useful for handling high-drive dogs. Proper use involves quick corrections rather than constant pressure to avoid skin irritation.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:22:24

    The speaker talks about the controversy over prong collars, highlighting their effectiveness when used correctly for high-drive dogs. They argue against potential bans, stating that these tools are crucial for owners lacking advanced training skills. The importance of proper training and potentially regulated sales is emphasized.

  • 00:00:03
    how's it going everybody today it's time
  • 00:00:06
    to talk about collars okay so lots to
  • 00:00:14
    talk about when it comes to training
  • 00:00:15
    collars let's jump right in first caller
  • 00:00:20
    is I don't really consider this a
  • 00:00:23
    training collar so to speak it's
  • 00:00:26
    appropriate for a puppy okay or maybe a
  • 00:00:28
    really like Placid easygoing dog or an
  • 00:00:31
    older dog and this is your standard
  • 00:00:33
    buckle collar okay so as you can see it
  • 00:00:36
    buckles up just like pennies groaning
  • 00:00:38
    over there it buckles up just like a
  • 00:00:41
    belt would okay nice thing about a
  • 00:00:44
    buckle style collar is it never never
  • 00:00:46
    changes size it wants like slide and
  • 00:00:49
    open up so if you've got your training
  • 00:00:51
    color fitted properly it's gonna stay
  • 00:00:53
    fitted properly and there's nothing to
  • 00:00:54
    pop open on here okay so the other style
  • 00:00:58
    that a lot of people use is gonna be
  • 00:00:59
    something like this and a buckle collar
  • 00:01:02
    okay if you have a small breed dog
  • 00:01:05
    probably not too big of a risk a problem
  • 00:01:08
    with these especially in cold weather is
  • 00:01:10
    they can get like a little hairline
  • 00:01:11
    fracture in it and they can break on you
  • 00:01:13
    these pop open all the time and dogs get
  • 00:01:16
    free so personally I don't like the
  • 00:01:19
    buckle style unless it's for a very very
  • 00:01:21
    small breed dog we they do make them
  • 00:01:26
    with what what is known as a Cobra clasp
  • 00:01:28
    okay so this way even if I press one
  • 00:01:31
    side down it won't open up I have to
  • 00:01:34
    open both sides okay so if you're gonna
  • 00:01:36
    use a flat collar then I would go with
  • 00:01:38
    something like this that's really secure
  • 00:01:41
    okay again that's for a meek easygoing
  • 00:01:45
    relaxed dog that doesn't need a lot of
  • 00:01:48
    feedback on the leash okay so really for
  • 00:01:51
    me this is either a start collar for a
  • 00:01:54
    puppy or it's a finished collar for a
  • 00:01:57
    trained dog okay but that's flat collars
  • 00:02:00
    some of the collars we're going to talk
  • 00:02:02
    about today may not be popular with
  • 00:02:04
    everybody pinched collars things like
  • 00:02:06
    that but I'll tell you something right
  • 00:02:07
    now these collars cause a lot of damage
  • 00:02:10
    to dogs a dog bit is a puller on the
  • 00:02:13
    leash you're doing way more harm by
  • 00:02:16
    putting it on a collar like this and
  • 00:02:17
    allowing it to pull the dogs that you
  • 00:02:19
    hear choking down the street they're
  • 00:02:21
    choking and coughing because they're
  • 00:02:22
    crushing their trachea and if you leave
  • 00:02:24
    an untrained dog on a flat collar like
  • 00:02:26
    this and you walk it long enough with it
  • 00:02:28
    pulling on a collar like this you're
  • 00:02:30
    gonna get trachea damage the dog is
  • 00:02:32
    gonna have permanent trachea damage
  • 00:02:34
    we're not going to talk about harnesses
  • 00:02:36
    today if you know anything about me you
  • 00:02:39
    know I don't use a harness unless we
  • 00:02:41
    were doing something like tracking work
  • 00:02:43
    or we wanted the dog to pull us weight
  • 00:02:45
    pulling competitions you're gonna train
  • 00:02:47
    your dog like I'm looking to do to pull
  • 00:02:49
    you on your skateboard that kind of
  • 00:02:51
    stuff that's an appropriate use for a
  • 00:02:52
    harness a harness and training it's just
  • 00:02:55
    not my thing just not my thing if you're
  • 00:02:57
    having success with your harness great I
  • 00:02:59
    don't use head harnesses of any kind
  • 00:03:01
    Hall tees I've done lots of videos on
  • 00:03:03
    why I don't use those tools so we're not
  • 00:03:05
    gonna get into it here I'm just stating
  • 00:03:07
    I use leash and collar to train dogs
  • 00:03:09
    that's all I use so that's why we're
  • 00:03:11
    gonna talk just about leash and collar
  • 00:03:12
    today if you have other questions you
  • 00:03:14
    can always personal message me or
  • 00:03:16
    whatever you want to do to get a hold of
  • 00:03:19
    me and we can discuss it there okay so
  • 00:03:21
    that's the flat collar the next up is a
  • 00:03:24
    martingale collar so after flat collar
  • 00:03:27
    if I need to move to a stronger
  • 00:03:29
    communication tool and again if you
  • 00:03:31
    watched my video I just put out on
  • 00:03:33
    leashes you know that I see a leash and
  • 00:03:35
    a collar is a communication tool it's
  • 00:03:37
    not just there to prevent the dog from
  • 00:03:38
    running off it's there for me to give
  • 00:03:41
    feedback to the dog okay so the next
  • 00:03:44
    step up the next level in the hierarchy
  • 00:03:46
    let's say is going to be the good old
  • 00:03:50
    fashioned martingale okay that's a
  • 00:03:52
    martingale that's a tiny little
  • 00:03:54
    martingale this is bigger martingale
  • 00:03:56
    okay so the way these work the ones that
  • 00:03:59
    I use there's a little piece of chain in
  • 00:04:00
    the back okay this gets loosened you
  • 00:04:03
    slip it over the head of the dog and
  • 00:04:05
    then you Snug it back up okay so there's
  • 00:04:09
    our dog's neck wearing the collar it
  • 00:04:11
    should all training collars should be
  • 00:04:13
    snug they should be fit snug to about
  • 00:04:16
    one finger in between the collar and the
  • 00:04:18
    dog's neck and you want your training
  • 00:04:20
    collars up nice and high they should sit
  • 00:04:22
    here on the dock not down here okay
  • 00:04:24
    you're not going to be able to influence
  • 00:04:26
    the dog's behavior with the collar down
  • 00:04:28
    here
  • 00:04:28
    toulouse needs to be up nice and high du
  • 00:04:30
    collar stays up here and never moves
  • 00:04:32
    down that's a little too snug probably
  • 00:04:34
    okay so snug like a watchband one finger
  • 00:04:37
    fit under the way this training collar
  • 00:04:39
    works when I hook a leash to it and I
  • 00:04:41
    want to give some feedback to the dog I
  • 00:04:42
    just give a little pop okay little quick
  • 00:04:45
    second pop and all this does is give a
  • 00:04:47
    little bit of a cinch it gives a little
  • 00:04:49
    snug around the dog's neck okay but
  • 00:04:51
    obviously that's a bit more feedback
  • 00:04:53
    than if I have just a flat collar like
  • 00:04:55
    this it doesn't give a lot of feedback
  • 00:04:57
    to a dog so for a dog it needs a bit
  • 00:04:59
    more feedback maybe they're making a
  • 00:05:00
    mistake or they're trying to pull on the
  • 00:05:02
    leash this can be a really good option
  • 00:05:04
    here okay at the same time they're
  • 00:05:06
    talking about the good collars I want to
  • 00:05:08
    talk about they're not so good or why I
  • 00:05:10
    don't recommend certain collars so this
  • 00:05:13
    one here you can see has a piece of
  • 00:05:15
    chain in the back the chain works very
  • 00:05:17
    smooth and quick it releases quick and
  • 00:05:20
    it snapped quick so it's a much more
  • 00:05:21
    effective tool this style I see quite
  • 00:05:24
    frequently which is the webbing basis so
  • 00:05:27
    as you can see it's clunky and slow it
  • 00:05:29
    doesn't it doesn't release quick it
  • 00:05:32
    doesn't tighten quick there's no element
  • 00:05:34
    of surprise when we use the leash and
  • 00:05:36
    collar for communicating to the dog so I
  • 00:05:38
    don't like these at all it's just not my
  • 00:05:41
    style I think it's too clunky so I don't
  • 00:05:45
    use any sort of webbing based ones
  • 00:05:46
    they're only change here's another
  • 00:05:48
    example chain driven but as I already
  • 00:05:51
    mentioned from me I don't like quick
  • 00:05:53
    releases they pop open so I get
  • 00:05:55
    especially at the martingale that this
  • 00:05:56
    can be really a big pain in the ass to
  • 00:05:59
    be snugging this up and loosing it to
  • 00:06:01
    fit the dog's neck but I prefer to do
  • 00:06:04
    that because at least I know this style
  • 00:06:06
    isn't gonna pop off the dogs look where
  • 00:06:08
    this one potentially could you make your
  • 00:06:11
    own choices out there I'm just
  • 00:06:12
    explaining why certain tools and why I
  • 00:06:14
    don't use certain tools so that's the
  • 00:06:16
    martingale collar if we're looking on a
  • 00:06:18
    scale of one to ten being how firm the
  • 00:06:22
    communication is from a leash and collar
  • 00:06:24
    I would say a flat collar this style
  • 00:06:26
    collar is about a 0 or a 1 it does it
  • 00:06:29
    just doesn't really give much feedback
  • 00:06:30
    to the dog we're talking a martingale
  • 00:06:32
    style collar scale of 1 to 10 I put the
  • 00:06:36
    around a four or five for most dogs okay
  • 00:06:38
    both median point of communication
  • 00:06:41
    corrected miss whatever you want to talk
  • 00:06:43
    about in there after that we're gonna
  • 00:06:46
    move to a pinch style collar so two
  • 00:06:48
    types of pinch style collars that I use
  • 00:06:51
    I use classic steel prom collars and I
  • 00:06:54
    use what's called a star mark which is
  • 00:06:56
    basically a plastic prom
  • 00:06:58
    star mark is just the brand name the
  • 00:07:00
    color pro training collar so here's two
  • 00:07:02
    star mark colors here this is the large
  • 00:07:04
    link version and there's a smaller
  • 00:07:07
    length version they don't necessarily
  • 00:07:10
    just obviously smaller link for a
  • 00:07:12
    smaller breed or larger link for a
  • 00:07:14
    larger breed but I might have a dog that
  • 00:07:16
    also has an e collar on so then I'm
  • 00:07:18
    gonna use the small link one because it
  • 00:07:20
    just takes up less neck real estate and
  • 00:07:23
    it's gonna be more comfortable on the
  • 00:07:24
    dog okay now the way that the pinch
  • 00:07:27
    collar works we're gonna talk about
  • 00:07:28
    steel prongs in a moment same idea as
  • 00:07:30
    the martingale that goes on when now I
  • 00:07:32
    hooked my leash it gives a cinch and it
  • 00:07:34
    gives a pinch so let's talk about how
  • 00:07:35
    this works and again I'm not this video
  • 00:07:38
    isn't to say what to use or what I agree
  • 00:07:42
    with I'm just telling you how these
  • 00:07:43
    tools work if you want to know what I
  • 00:07:45
    use well you've watched my videos and
  • 00:07:47
    you probably would have a good
  • 00:07:48
    assumption to I would use a collar like
  • 00:07:49
    this if I'm showing it to you so these
  • 00:07:52
    look like little teeth okay so let's
  • 00:07:54
    talk about the truth of how these work
  • 00:07:56
    it's a bit I call it a pinch collar
  • 00:07:57
    because that's what it does it gives a
  • 00:07:59
    pinch okay so when it's on the dog it's
  • 00:08:01
    gonna give a pinch okay the pinch is a
  • 00:08:02
    little bit uncomfortable okay it's not
  • 00:08:04
    gonna dig into your dog's skin or
  • 00:08:06
    anything like that the pinch is
  • 00:08:07
    uncomfortable
  • 00:08:08
    now I should say this it potentially
  • 00:08:10
    could dig into the dog's skin if you
  • 00:08:12
    used it improperly by used it and
  • 00:08:14
    properly means you let the dog put
  • 00:08:16
    constant weight you know if you had a
  • 00:08:18
    dog two pulls and you let them go to the
  • 00:08:20
    end of the leash and pull on this
  • 00:08:22
    non-stop this could cause some skin
  • 00:08:24
    irritation for sure right but that's not
  • 00:08:27
    the proper use the proper use is to give
  • 00:08:29
    a quick pop a moment of feedback to
  • 00:08:31
    prevent your dog from pulling if it's
  • 00:08:33
    used that way the proper way you'll
  • 00:08:35
    never have a problem with something like
  • 00:08:36
    this never never never never tie a dog
  • 00:08:39
    out on a pinch collar you just being a
  • 00:08:42
    jerk don't do that that's that's bad
  • 00:08:43
    etiquette
  • 00:08:44
    bad dog on our show okay so this is a
  • 00:08:46
    good example of how they work hopefully
  • 00:08:48
    you can see the little teeth
  • 00:08:50
    so when when a puppy is born the mother
  • 00:08:54
    will give it a nip to give feedback that
  • 00:08:58
    you're doing something incorrectly it
  • 00:08:59
    learns bite pressure from its litter
  • 00:09:01
    mates they're biting each other until
  • 00:09:03
    one of them yelps whoa that was too much
  • 00:09:05
    bite pressure right we all know dogs get
  • 00:09:08
    into dog fights sometimes why because
  • 00:09:11
    that's how they communicate they
  • 00:09:13
    communicate with a bite they're gonna
  • 00:09:15
    start with may be posturing first may be
  • 00:09:18
    tail position body posture a growl maybe
  • 00:09:21
    baring teeth but once all of those fail
  • 00:09:23
    the dog is going to correct another
  • 00:09:25
    dog's unwanted behavior by biting them
  • 00:09:28
    typically on the the shoulder area here
  • 00:09:31
    right on the withers around the neck or
  • 00:09:33
    something like that so this the design
  • 00:09:35
    behind this whether you agree with this
  • 00:09:37
    or not is irrelevant I'm telling you how
  • 00:09:38
    why and how it's designed it's designed
  • 00:09:40
    to mimic a dog bite that's what it's
  • 00:09:43
    supposed to do it's supposed to when we
  • 00:09:45
    give a little pop using the the leash it
  • 00:09:48
    should feel like a pinch like a dog bite
  • 00:09:50
    okay and the theory behind that is
  • 00:09:53
    intuitively they're gonna understand
  • 00:09:54
    whoops I did something I shouldn't do
  • 00:09:56
    because I felt the bite pressure like
  • 00:09:58
    another dog would okay so that's the
  • 00:10:01
    Starmark pro training collar supposed to
  • 00:10:06
    look like dog teeth so that it gets the
  • 00:10:08
    point across okay then we go others
  • 00:10:11
    pinch style collars what everybody's
  • 00:10:13
    probably seen before the classic prom
  • 00:10:15
    collar I only use herm Sprenger prongs
  • 00:10:17
    few differences in herm Sprenger
  • 00:10:19
    problems cheaper prom collars this piece
  • 00:10:23
    here is very long it's usually like a
  • 00:10:25
    long metal piece with a little curl at
  • 00:10:27
    the end and what happens is the longer
  • 00:10:29
    these get the less full coverage you get
  • 00:10:32
    around the dog's neck and then you end
  • 00:10:34
    up with a problem that only sits on the
  • 00:10:36
    front of the dog's neck
  • 00:10:37
    and the point of a prong is to give even
  • 00:10:39
    pressure and even pinch around the dog's
  • 00:10:41
    neck okay the other thing on her ring or
  • 00:10:45
    prongs they put a Center plate here this
  • 00:10:47
    little Center plate sits over the
  • 00:10:49
    trachea to make the prong collar more
  • 00:10:51
    comfortable so it never puts pressure on
  • 00:10:53
    the trachea it also means that the
  • 00:10:55
    prongs run this way okay so they run in
  • 00:10:58
    two directions on lower-end prongs they
  • 00:11:00
    all run in the same
  • 00:11:01
    direction okay so something like this
  • 00:11:03
    all the prongs are on the same way and
  • 00:11:05
    what happens is you tend to get a collar
  • 00:11:07
    that will spin around the dog's neck
  • 00:11:08
    where these will stay centered a bit
  • 00:11:10
    better and they're just a higher quality
  • 00:11:12
    steel okay the way these work is the
  • 00:11:15
    same it goes around the dog's neck
  • 00:11:17
    you hook up to the d-ring the swivel
  • 00:11:19
    ring I had a number of clients this year
  • 00:11:21
    that have chrome collars from other
  • 00:11:23
    trainers and the other trainers told
  • 00:11:25
    them to hook to both rings that makes
  • 00:11:27
    zero sense don't hook to both rings it
  • 00:11:29
    dead is the collar okay
  • 00:11:31
    there's no cinch anymore if you don't
  • 00:11:33
    want the collar to cinch then don't use
  • 00:11:35
    the collar like don't use the the pinch
  • 00:11:37
    collar then it makes no sense to just
  • 00:11:38
    put it to two rings there is a caveat to
  • 00:11:41
    that I will give you the one time when I
  • 00:11:43
    do if I was doing long line work with a
  • 00:11:46
    dog on a pinch collar I will hook it to
  • 00:11:48
    both rings to den the collar okay so
  • 00:11:51
    there are times when I dead in my collar
  • 00:11:52
    but typically if I'm using with a dog I
  • 00:11:55
    need it to cinch okay again a lot of
  • 00:11:58
    people are very fearful of this or
  • 00:12:00
    people I don't know might get some
  • 00:12:01
    comments saying the prongs are terrible
  • 00:12:03
    certain groups and certain trainers and
  • 00:12:05
    certain vets and all that kind of stuff
  • 00:12:07
    people are going to say the phone
  • 00:12:08
    callers are terrible for a very high
  • 00:12:12
    drive determined dog I have no clue how
  • 00:12:15
    you're gonna get a dog like that to
  • 00:12:16
    respond using anything less than this
  • 00:12:19
    now I don't just go to this my standard
  • 00:12:22
    protocol is I go
  • 00:12:23
    regular martingale collar take the dog
  • 00:12:26
    for a walk do some training if they're
  • 00:12:28
    not responding well to the leash like
  • 00:12:29
    I'm using too much food too much force
  • 00:12:31
    on the leash to get them to even pay
  • 00:12:34
    attention to me then I'm gonna have to
  • 00:12:36
    upgrade typically to a plastic prompt
  • 00:12:39
    first and then to a steel bond if I have
  • 00:12:42
    to but if I'm using a steel prong on a
  • 00:12:44
    dog it's the appropriate collar for that
  • 00:12:46
    dog okay if a dog's overreacting on a
  • 00:12:49
    prom call or like to vocalizing and
  • 00:12:51
    yelping it's the wrong call II should
  • 00:12:53
    never have gotten to this collar you
  • 00:12:55
    should have noticed that on a gentler
  • 00:12:57
    collar it was getting the job done okay
  • 00:12:59
    but that's a steel prong collar this is
  • 00:13:01
    a medium link prong same this is just a
  • 00:13:05
    small link problem okay so it's just
  • 00:13:08
    that the prongs are different size and
  • 00:13:10
    I've used these on big dogs too
  • 00:13:13
    it just depends on on the dog okay this
  • 00:13:15
    is a bit of a firmer collar so again if
  • 00:13:18
    you're going on the scale of one to ten
  • 00:13:19
    our flat collar is about a zero or one
  • 00:13:22
    our martingale collar is about a four to
  • 00:13:24
    five our star mark collar is about a
  • 00:13:27
    seven or an eight I'm gonna say the
  • 00:13:30
    medium length prong collar is a nine and
  • 00:13:32
    the small length prong collar is a ten
  • 00:13:34
    and that's in order of how firm of a
  • 00:13:38
    message they will send to the dog if
  • 00:13:40
    you've got them hooked up okay
  • 00:13:41
    essentially all that's gonna happen is
  • 00:13:43
    your leash work is gonna get gentler and
  • 00:13:45
    gentler and more finesse as you move up
  • 00:13:48
    to a more powerful collar it's not about
  • 00:13:50
    delivering firmer and firmer Corrections
  • 00:13:52
    it's about a dog that does not does not
  • 00:13:57
    pay attention to the communication
  • 00:13:58
    provided on this collar that you need to
  • 00:14:00
    go up to a bit of a stronger collar okay
  • 00:14:02
    but that's the prong collar and the way
  • 00:14:04
    that these guys again I don't use any
  • 00:14:07
    quick releases on Chrome collars they
  • 00:14:08
    pop open so the way that the problem
  • 00:14:10
    collar needs to be fitted is you're
  • 00:14:12
    gonna add or remove links as needed to
  • 00:14:15
    get the right circumference and then
  • 00:14:19
    basically when I take the collar on and
  • 00:14:21
    off I just pinch the little prongs
  • 00:14:22
    together and that's how it goes on to
  • 00:14:24
    fit okay again the nono version this
  • 00:14:28
    guy's webbing driven and I already said
  • 00:14:30
    what I don't like about webbing webbing
  • 00:14:31
    drives they're too slow and this guy
  • 00:14:33
    also has a quick-release and it's not
  • 00:14:35
    the end of the world on this one because
  • 00:14:37
    it still doesn't allow the collar to
  • 00:14:38
    open all the way up so I'm not too
  • 00:14:40
    terrible but it's just not a system I
  • 00:14:42
    use and maybe you can see this is this
  • 00:14:44
    piece was already caught into this fat
  • 00:14:46
    section it just doesn't work this is not
  • 00:14:48
    a great collar okay the last one will
  • 00:14:51
    show you under the pinch collar is I
  • 00:14:53
    haven't really used this too much this
  • 00:14:55
    is called a neck tech this is also from
  • 00:14:58
    herm Sprenger okay and it's basically
  • 00:15:01
    just another pinch style collar but it's
  • 00:15:04
    got these little spring boards in here
  • 00:15:06
    don't worry nothing sharpened hopefully
  • 00:15:08
    you can see these are like rounded tips
  • 00:15:10
    it's not gonna it's not meant nobody
  • 00:15:12
    would produce a training to a low pair
  • 00:15:13
    that's gonna harm a dog okay so let's
  • 00:15:14
    just say that that's never gonna happen
  • 00:15:16
    you know we're gonna have a training
  • 00:15:17
    tool that is purposely meant to harm a
  • 00:15:19
    dog know
  • 00:15:20
    nobody is gonna sell that make it buy it
  • 00:15:22
    it's just ridiculous okay so this guy
  • 00:15:25
    here actually does have a quick release
  • 00:15:27
    which I'm fine with
  • 00:15:28
    why because this quick release is a
  • 00:15:30
    locking carabiner so once that's on I
  • 00:15:33
    don't have to worry about it
  • 00:15:34
    accidentally being popped open I just
  • 00:15:36
    thread this lock d-ring it works the
  • 00:15:39
    same way as all the other pinch collars
  • 00:15:41
    but a lot of people haven't seen this so
  • 00:15:42
    I thought I'd put it out there so you
  • 00:15:44
    can see what the herm Sprenger net text
  • 00:15:45
    looks like the downside why don't really
  • 00:15:48
    use this the weight it's the weight man
  • 00:15:51
    these things is you can imagine or just
  • 00:15:53
    they're really heavy for dogs and
  • 00:15:56
    quickly the last collar I will address
  • 00:15:59
    address is the slip chain collar oh I
  • 00:16:02
    didn't call it a choke chain because
  • 00:16:04
    it's not meant to choke a dog I don't
  • 00:16:05
    use these collars but I know a lot of
  • 00:16:07
    clients that have proper way to use a
  • 00:16:09
    slip chain collar is to have your own
  • 00:16:12
    you're sliding o-ring hanging off the
  • 00:16:16
    chain this way when you give a
  • 00:16:17
    correction the way it's meant to be used
  • 00:16:18
    it's a little leash snap little
  • 00:16:20
    correction your dog I don't know maybe
  • 00:16:21
    they're barking you say quiet your dog
  • 00:16:23
    keeps barking to give a little height
  • 00:16:24
    okay that's that's how a correction
  • 00:16:27
    would look like on this okay the reason
  • 00:16:29
    it's called a choke chain the nickname
  • 00:16:32
    is because let's say your dog doesn't
  • 00:16:33
    heal or whatever the case is so what I
  • 00:16:36
    mean is maybe your dog can go to the
  • 00:16:37
    other side if your dog flips this collar
  • 00:16:40
    around by moving to the other side of
  • 00:16:42
    you now okay now when I correct it
  • 00:16:46
    doesn't loosen so that's why it kind of
  • 00:16:48
    becomes called the choke chain is
  • 00:16:49
    because if you're not using it properly
  • 00:16:51
    then it can actually choke the dog and
  • 00:16:54
    the other thing I want you to see is
  • 00:16:56
    here okay the problem with this is it
  • 00:16:58
    creates one pinch point right here and
  • 00:17:01
    you can see all my skin is being pulled
  • 00:17:04
    through that ring through that one pinch
  • 00:17:05
    point so skin and fur I don't like these
  • 00:17:07
    because it creates a solo pinch point
  • 00:17:10
    and it doesn't provide even pressure
  • 00:17:12
    around the dog so it's just not a collar
  • 00:17:14
    that I use typically and you have to
  • 00:17:17
    have really good timing because you have
  • 00:17:18
    to get that like snap so your timing has
  • 00:17:21
    to be really solid with it with a collar
  • 00:17:23
    like this so for me not a great collar
  • 00:17:26
    for the average novice sort of dog owner
  • 00:17:28
    when there's much better tech
  • 00:17:30
    makes and collars and things out there
  • 00:17:32
    you know some people might again let's
  • 00:17:34
    just touch real quick on the problem
  • 00:17:36
    before I finish this video off so some
  • 00:17:37
    people might say then the prong is
  • 00:17:39
    inhumane let me tell you something if a
  • 00:17:42
    dog is pulling down the street on this
  • 00:17:44
    choking and coughing they're destroying
  • 00:17:47
    their trachea and that could lead to
  • 00:17:48
    permanent trachea damage ok which means
  • 00:17:51
    your dog may never be able to wear a
  • 00:17:52
    collar again I've seen that the dog
  • 00:17:55
    tries to pull on this let's say you
  • 00:17:57
    don't know how to use this and buy how
  • 00:17:58
    to use it I mean how to correct properly
  • 00:18:00
    and proactively if you didn't know how
  • 00:18:02
    to use this at the very least the dog
  • 00:18:05
    would go to the end of the leash feel a
  • 00:18:07
    pinch from the prong collar and back off
  • 00:18:09
    so most dogs are not going to pull on a
  • 00:18:13
    collar like this there are still some
  • 00:18:14
    that will put the steady pressure on so
  • 00:18:16
    think of like a bed of nails so if
  • 00:18:19
    somebody lies down with steady even
  • 00:18:21
    gentle pressure onto a bed of nails
  • 00:18:22
    nothing happens to them right it's
  • 00:18:25
    actually very gentle and they can lie on
  • 00:18:27
    it ok so the problem is if you allow a
  • 00:18:30
    dog to put steady even pressure forward
  • 00:18:33
    on the prong collar they'll be able to
  • 00:18:34
    sustain right they'll be able to pull
  • 00:18:37
    and then stay putting pressure on that
  • 00:18:39
    that's the incorrect use and that could
  • 00:18:40
    cause a lot of skin irritation too so
  • 00:18:42
    don't allow that to happen the proper
  • 00:18:44
    use is when the dog tries to pull you
  • 00:18:47
    give a little pop will pop back on your
  • 00:18:49
    leash to guide them back to keep them
  • 00:18:51
    from moving forward so this needs to be
  • 00:18:53
    actively used now none of these training
  • 00:18:56
    collars should be left on a dog when
  • 00:18:58
    you're not watching them ok the problem
  • 00:19:01
    with the prom ok or the martingale show
  • 00:19:05
    you with the martingale is if it's on
  • 00:19:06
    the dog and let's say this was their
  • 00:19:08
    back leg and they were scratching their
  • 00:19:09
    neck and their back hall went through
  • 00:19:11
    here their back pocket get stuck not a
  • 00:19:14
    problem if you're using this for
  • 00:19:15
    training because you're there with your
  • 00:19:17
    dog so don't leave a martingale on a dog
  • 00:19:19
    in a crate or unattended because
  • 00:19:21
    something could happen ok training
  • 00:19:23
    collars are not there to be left on a
  • 00:19:26
    dog that's why they're called training
  • 00:19:28
    collars because they're there to be used
  • 00:19:30
    for active training with the dog and
  • 00:19:32
    then when you're not training you can
  • 00:19:33
    remove the training collar ok that
  • 00:19:35
    doesn't mean that maybe if you have a
  • 00:19:36
    dog that has some issues in the house
  • 00:19:38
    maybe
  • 00:19:38
    are wearing their training collar in the
  • 00:19:40
    house when you're home and they're out
  • 00:19:41
    with you and you're still training with
  • 00:19:42
    them okay but that's callers this is
  • 00:19:45
    something a lot to do for quite a while
  • 00:19:47
    just to get the information out there
  • 00:19:48
    hey I'm sure there's other callers out
  • 00:19:50
    there people may use they're just not
  • 00:19:52
    for me
  • 00:19:53
    these are the callers I trained on
  • 00:19:54
    either a flat collar a martingale collar
  • 00:19:57
    or a pinch style collar whether plastic
  • 00:19:59
    or steel that's it those are the callers
  • 00:20:01
    I use last thing I'll quickly mention
  • 00:20:05
    there's been talk of banning prom
  • 00:20:07
    callers for some time they even banned
  • 00:20:09
    put a ban in in Toronto two years ago
  • 00:20:12
    and then the ban was rescinded so if
  • 00:20:18
    they banned training tools like prom
  • 00:20:20
    callers I believe I believe the problem
  • 00:20:24
    then is going to be shortly after that
  • 00:20:25
    you're gonna have breed bans a prom
  • 00:20:28
    caller can be the difference between an
  • 00:20:30
    80-pound Handler owning a hundred pound
  • 00:20:32
    dog okay it can be the difference
  • 00:20:35
    between a really dominant driven dog
  • 00:20:38
    being obedient and under control
  • 00:20:40
    or controlling the owner because the
  • 00:20:44
    owner doesn't have an effective means of
  • 00:20:46
    communicating with that dog okay so
  • 00:20:48
    without these kinds of tools trainers
  • 00:20:51
    out there may say I don't need these
  • 00:20:53
    kinds of tools it makes things easier
  • 00:20:56
    for sure it does trainers you know I
  • 00:20:59
    might struggle with certain dogs without
  • 00:21:01
    a chrome collar on can I get the job
  • 00:21:03
    done yes I'll get the job done but it
  • 00:21:05
    won't be as easy it won't be as quick as
  • 00:21:08
    with a prom collar so the people are
  • 00:21:12
    really going to struggle our regular
  • 00:21:14
    owners that don't have a lot of
  • 00:21:16
    experience with dogs and don't know what
  • 00:21:18
    to do this this can be a saving grace
  • 00:21:20
    between keeping a dog in a loving home
  • 00:21:23
    because they now can control their dog
  • 00:21:25
    or having to re-home the dog because
  • 00:21:27
    they have no means so if they ban
  • 00:21:29
    certain training tools they're harming
  • 00:21:32
    the general public more than they're
  • 00:21:34
    harming dog trainers dog trainers will
  • 00:21:36
    not be as effective I don't care what
  • 00:21:37
    you say out there without certain tools
  • 00:21:39
    like this certain breeds or certain
  • 00:21:41
    types of dogs or just certain
  • 00:21:43
    personalities of dogs are going to be
  • 00:21:45
    very very difficult to manage okay so
  • 00:21:48
    whatever your opinion is on the tool I
  • 00:21:51
    just
  • 00:21:51
    they use it right and I would think a
  • 00:21:53
    better solution rather than banning
  • 00:21:55
    training tools would be kind of like a
  • 00:21:57
    doctor with a prescription so you would
  • 00:22:00
    go see a trainer and trainers would be
  • 00:22:01
    licensed to sell pinched collars that
  • 00:22:03
    way we would show you how to use it
  • 00:22:05
    properly to make sure that you're not
  • 00:22:06
    making mistakes with a pinch collar and
  • 00:22:09
    that you've got good control over your
  • 00:22:11
    dog okay so that's callers guys if you
  • 00:22:14

  • 00:22:15
