Training? Pain is not the same thing as training.This will make your dog stop pulling quickly, but it will hurt him and it may make him more reactive in the long term. If other dogs make him forget about the collar and pull then he may learn that other dogs mean pain, and this can cause problems.Try this: get a gentle leader head halter or a halti. When your dog pulls stop walking. Be patient. Your dog will learn that pulling does not pay, with no pain and no fear! What's more once he does well on the halti you can switch to a normal collar and he won't forget what he learned!*****meant to give one star! 2 stars is too many.
