I whole heartedly disagree! Pinch collars are TRAINING collars. They're FOR that specific purpose! The not pulling is just a bonus.

I use pinch collars on all my Shepherds during obedience training, and I get a much faster "sharper" (cleaner) correction than I do with a choke (Which they don't care about anyway).

I say use a pinch collar during obedience training if the dog won't pay attention to a flat or choker. You wean off it eventually, but still, it IS a training collar.
