Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My dog is a rescue with some very bad habits and mannerisms. She's a Boxer/Lab mix and incredibly stubborn. She's a big, strong dog and would pull incredibly hard the entire time we walked, which made walking her a chore and therefore something I began doing less and less. A friend posted a collar similar to this on Facebook that she had purchased for her dog that had issues with pulling during walks and swore by it's effectiveness. I found this collar for $20 and figured it was worth a try. Our first walk using the collar was night/day compared to without. Initially, out of the gate she made the mistake of doing her normal psychotic pulling and found out the hard way that was a really bad idea with this collar. The collar isn't meant to hurt or injure the dog, but instead gives the dog an pinching sensation that gets more intense the harder they try to pull on the leash. Therefore, it makes them constantly self-correct and keeps them from excessive pulling. Does my dog dislike wearing it? Even though my dog cannot pull like she used to, she still gets super excited to go for a walk and has no issues with putting the collar on. She's a really smart dog and when she doesn't like something she let's us know and while the collar is uncomfortable for her when she is misbehaving, she generally has no issues wearing it and doesn't shy away from walks because of having to wear it. Overall, I give this collar 5 stars because it is made well and has absolutely corrected my dogs pulling and misbehaving during walks, so now walking is enjoyable for us both. When we walk now, the leash is slack for about 95% of the walk. Have a dog that pulls like a maniac to the point you no longer want to walk them? You need this collar. Period.
