Little pinchy prongs biting into your flesh everytime you make a wrong move?

From what I heard I really did not think it was painful...just a little uncomfortable...

If you use the pinch collar you better have it for the remainder of his life because he won't know what is expected when he isn't wearing the collar.

I honestly don't think I would need it for very long...I was never planning on using it for anything other then teaching him not to jump and bite at other dogs so badly!

I have not bought the collar, and I don't know if I will. I may borrow my friend's halti and try it, but I really think he would hate that even more. I've never seen him freak out so badly!

I'll try your other methods. He is just so hard to control when he gets around other dogs...he will not focus on me, even if I have treats..he does not care. He's a very intelligent, but very stubborn dog.
