This is hooked to the collar, if the dog does pull does it take the pressure from off his neck?

If it is on properly, only the part around her chest should tighten? Not the neck.

Yes, when in the harness configuration the pressure is transferred to the chest area.

If the dog pulls while this is on, it will apply pressure around the chest area only.

My part sheltie rescue is now on his 3rd collar since May. I don't think he got hung and activated the breakaway feature. He has never slipped his standard collar.He is very active and outside a lot. It works well no fleas no attached ticks while wearing it. That's why I've replaced it 2 more times than I wanted to. If I replace it again I'm thinking about attaching it to the inside of his standard collar

I can't answer this question as the first time I attached it to my dogs collar, she promptly went out and lost it. The collar attachment is not that sturdy and my dog continually goes through all sorts of heavy woods as we live on 10 acres that is her run space.

Yes the chain will tighten if pulled. I love the collar just keep in mind they run small I have a large lab but his neck is small so I got a med but the med fit a small dog so I got an XL

You will. Break your dog's neck if you use just the collar. A harness is the safe and recommended way to use this. Check with your vet or read the cautions.

Yes ma'am; I actually purchased this for my friend that has a yorkie named Izzy. You have full control of the vibration or the small shock. Izzy responds now so much better that all my friend does is hold the remote and Izzy doesn't realize the collar is off. I do RECOMMEND taking off not leaving on all the time and reward your baby when they obey. GOOD LUCK! if you have any other questions please don't hesitate.

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.

I got mine hoping it would keep my dog from pulling on the leash...It didn't work for me because it would get to tight on her neck...I'm not sure if it will keep your dog from climbing the fence wish I could be more helpful..

I bought this for my 9 month yellow lab. He was backing out of his collar. This has been the perfect solution. When he pulls, it tightens around his neck like a chocker.

To the best of my knowledge, taking the collar off of the dog during its 30 day active lifespan does not decrease its effectiveness.

It stops the pulling but not as you want it too don't use for big dogs it will break

That totally depends on the dog I think. It's not harmful to the dog...it's just that if they pull, since the leash is attached under the nose, it pulls their head downward, which stops them from seeing ahead, so they stop pulling in order to bring their head up. I don't have plans to stop using it...it chokes less than a normal collar on a dog that pulls.

For sure, the neck hole is very generous. I find that unless your dog is intentionally pulling backwards and TRYING to slip out it should't come off. It's a great running/pulling harness. I got the medium for my husky (she's 22kg) if that helps for comparison.

No, if you size the collar correctly, they do NOT hurt the animal. The animal will only feel the discomfort from the nubs when you are making a correction which is what it is designed to do. Now, the harder the correction, the more the animal will feel it and could yelp if you pull to much, to quick (hard).

No, it is a trainiing collar only! It is made of hard plastic pieces hooked together and would be dangerous to leave on. It is a great trainiing collar, especially to stop dogs from pulling on leash because it tightens when the dog pulls--which is another reason it would be dangerous to leave on!!

Not really. The problem with it is that it doesn't tighten like regular pinch collars.

This could be seen as abusive if used incorrectly. This collar has rounded tips which cause no harm to the dog when the pureasure is applied. This collar allows the dog to notice he is doing something wrong when he tugs he will feel the pressure and cause him to come back and he will see it as positive as long as the owner dose not force the dog to come back which could cause harm to the dog. Hope this was semi helpful but it's a preference and I can say by experience it causes no harm to the dog if used correctly
