Wondering what the protocol for wearing the collar is - alternatives to 'just put it on. Issues are only anxious in crate &amp; along?

Yes. Whenever I put the hounds in a stressful situation. Travel or change of routines. I place on the collar and spray their bed in crate. I think it helps

The manufacturer recommends that you remove the collar when crating your dog. I agree that this is the thing to do.

a pinch collar PROPERLY FITTED and PLACED is a great asset to controlling a dog. For the novice though, unless you seek professional help in person from a certified or well recommended trainer, I would rather see in a gentle leader/halter style collar. And it will eliminate barking and lunging with little outright correction for the handler. JMHO.

I use a harness for my dog ,better if you stop real quick ,will not hurt dog much safer than a collar

No. The collar is remote control only. You probably wouldn't want it on for something like that anyway. What if there's an intruder? Shouldn't the dog bark for that? Collars require judicious training.

Not 100% sure. I believe the collar is advertised for anxiety issues primarily. You might consider calling the company or seek a trainers advise.

The preventic collar is not a sturdy collar & not meant to be used as one. The buckle does not look or feel sturdy. I remove the preventic collar & use a heavy duty collar when I walk my dog (65Kg Rott). It is very important tht the preventic collar is touching your dog's skin so if the regular collar is preventing this then u hve to remove it. My dog's neck and head is rather huge, so when he wears his reg collar & the tick collar, the tick collar doesnt touch his skin. This product however does do its job very well to prevent ticks.

It depends. I have a collar on the dog as well, so I have an option of using both.

I tried to find out as much information about these collars as possible. There is one school of thought that says do NOT get a quick release fastener if you have a strong/aggressive dog cuz it's possible for them to tug so hard that this release comes open. It surely makes putting the collar on and taking it off MUCH easier, I can say for sure. Look at some videos on YouTube for great information. Just measure the dogs neck for sizing. It's no problem to take some links out if it's too large. If you choose too small, you can order extra links as well. I've tried other collars and, believe me, this one has no competition.

If having to choose one over the other, I would think the collar's good, since its closer to their face, but didnt hurt to do both, in our case, as we had 2 dogs, and diffusing into the room, made sense for me to do.

No, it is designed to be worn as a second collar, close to the skin (snug) as it is activated by friction with the skin-Our dogs wear their regular collars with tags as well. I believe it is designed as a breakaway, so don't attach a leash, etc.

I'm sorry, I no longer have the collar because of the reactions it caused. I believe it is a one size fits all. You cut off the length not needed.

Thank you for your question! Once the battery is in place, the collar is ready to be set and used. Please know that we do recommend to spend some time in training your pet with this system.

It is a little "backup" collar that the instructions say you should use, in addition to your pet's normal collar to prevent the dog from slipping both collars and getting loose. I personally don't use it, I never did so decades ago either. I use a harness with the flexi-lead these days.

I would say no because you can't leave it on all the time because it could cause sores on the dogs neck. if you put it on the main collar, he/she wouldn't have his tags at the times you remove it.

I currently am using it for a puppy mill rescue that has no physical issues but cannot be touched due to anxiety. After two days of her wearing it I already see a SLIGHT improvement when I approach her and also she seems to be more relaxed when resting. She usually sleeps curled up in a tight little ball and with the collar on she stretches out. When I approach her to pet her she usually looks at me like an axe murderer and pulls back, but with the collar on she just stays still and lets me pet her. So minor improvement in her anxiety level. I have had her for a year and this is the first improvement I have seen. I plan to replace it every month for at least 6 months.

We only put it on him when needed. This has worked, because when we put it on her understands the collar is on and he can get a vibration shock, so he behaves without even having to use the vibration. Which we have only had to use the vibration and have never had to actually shock him, the vibration worked enough.
