The idea is to let the dog know there is a consequence to the pulling. When the dog pulls there should be a correction with the collar as opposed to letting the dog pull and pull until it is coughing and choking. This training collar can be very useful but does need to be used properly. This is also an aversion device as the dog will feel the restriction around their neck when they pull and then feel a release when they stop. The floating chain is called a martingale. The chain floats pulling the nylon part together and then releasing as the dog pulls or stops pulling. Some dogs do very well with a training collar that is part nylon collar and then is joined by a chain that has a ring at the end. Trying a head collar for walking is fine, but it is a try, and if the results are magic then great, but not every dog does well with this type of walking device. The thing here is that some pet parents are told that the head harness is going to be the answer to all their problems and it will solve the pulling like waving a magic wand. And some dogs even with the head collar secured in place, don’t care and will pull regardless leaving the owner still fighting with the dog and the strap up into the dog’s eyes. However, there are dogs that just absolutely will not take to wearing a head collar and will do everything they can to get the strap off their nose. Some dogs do very well with a head collar and sometimes this is the only way to get them to walk without pulling.
This is a good telltale when someone is trying to pass off a dog as a service dog and the dog is wearing a prong collar. The head harness is very popular especially with certified service dogs who use this tool right away when training service dogs.
