Pinch collars have been used for decades for training dogs. They are more commonly used than many people know.

Pinch dog collars with nylon webbing have been noted as controversial in the pet community. But, if used properly these collars provide a cruelty free and easy training tool for large and stubborn breeds such as Pit bulls, Boxers and St. Bernards.

A pinch dog collar should only be used in specific training situations. They include training a dog not to pull, but to follow on a walk. This is very important because a dog that is overzealous on a leash can cause harm to themselves or to their owner.

One common issue when walking a dog is continuous pulling. Dogs that get too excited on walks and switch back from left to right on their leash are not well behaved. Before trying a pinch collar, a dog owner can try a tight, short leash to keep a dog close to one side. But, if this does not work a pinch collar will become useful.

Dogs that become aggressive when they see other dogs or people on walks can be difficult to calm. If a dog does become aggressive and attempts to lunge at other pets, it is necessary to train them to stop this behavior. Pinch collars can help with this.

A dog may pull away from their leash so hard that they choke. This can cause severe damage to their neck and lungs. A halter type collar will help some dogs to end this behavior and will most certainly stop a dog from choking. But, if this collar does not solve the overall issue, a pinch collar can be used.

Pinch dog collars should never be left on a dog when the dog is not being trained. A dog should not be left alone when wearing a collar of this type. They can become dangerous and deadly if they get caught on something indoors or outdoors. Also, when the dog has the collar on, they should be aware that it is time for training.

If you are thinking of using a pinch collar, be sure to understand how it works and when to use the collar. This will help you to train your pet safely.
