Hi again,
The method I have described in no way causes pain or discomfort to the dog, in fact it was developed to stop people constantly yanking on choke chains and making their dogs oblivious to any but the severest correction.
It is safe, effective, does away with the need for crutches such as harness and halti, increases the dogs concentration and attention and boosts your communication with your dog. The dog learns and uses his brain and respect will also be increased. Pain is in no way inflicted.
