Would you like one around your neck? Little pinchy prongs biting into your flesh everytime you make a wrong move?
Would you rather a color strangling you? I know some dogs are well behaved and don't pull, but I couldn't walk my old dog, Rufus without him stranglng himself. He has the worse trachea, the vet would jut touch it when examing him and he'd gag..I know the pinch wouldn't have done that. I didn't use one on him though, I just got a harness for him, but he couldnt go outside on his chain with a harness without getting away (before our fence..I was to young and stupid at the time ) lol and every cat or animal that would run by, he'd pull and choke. So flat collars aren't much better. You might think im cruel for putting him on a chain, but I was a kid, and we didnt have a place for a fence at the time. Ok I probably stopped making sence a long time ago so I'll stop yapping :[
I guess I agree with both ways though, I don't really like flat or pinches..I think the gentle leader is the way to go :]
