Pinch collars

yorkiemom Jul 02, 2003 12:06 PM

I am seeking others responses r/e micro pinch collar for small dogs. I have seen videos of these collars in leash training, and have to admit the results is striking. My guy continues to pull like a sled dog when walking. I have tried nearly every approach suggested to me, but he cont. to pull. We have been working with him for quite awhile, and he is some better. I am hoping with more maturity and adaptation to his enviorment that not everything will cause such excitement. Would such a collar hurt his trachea? He weighs 13# and his neck size is nearly 10".Any info. would be much appreciated.

The problem with pinch collars is that they can increase the dog's defense drives. I wouldn't risk that with a Yorkie.
