Get This Pinch Collar - Correct English Bulldog Behavior
Dogs, as well as human beings, learn new information differently. Though there are lots of training tools for canines, there is no one universal one that will work for every pet. You should experiment and this is the way you will find an item that will suit your English Bulldog. If you have already tried flat, choke collars, but they failed to teach your pet good manners, try a prong one. Remember, that a pinch collar is tried and proven way to teach your canine to be obedient. If used properly the item will never cause severe pain or choke the pet.
Keep in mind that the pinch collar should only be used for training and
not be left on the dog for more than an hour at a time. Otherwise it may irritate the dog's neck and/or he could get it caught on something and hurt himself. The pinch collar is
easier on the dog’s throat than a choke because it rests above the larynx and is never pulling—which could crush it! The pinch
should rest snugly in the center of the English Bulldog neck. Up higher than where the choke collar would lay, but not up so high that it’s in the pits of the back of the ears. It is supposed to simulate a pack member’s or mother’s teeth on the back of their neck! The
prongs should be on the BACK of the neck NOT on the throat. The part of the chain that is smooth without pokers should go on the canine's throat. It will turn slightly as you walk but should not slide around easily and/or completely on the dogs neck. If the collar is too loose and/or turned around so the prongs are in the throat, and you or the dog pulls, it could puncture holes in the dogs throat!
So, please, be very careful if you decided to use pinch collar. There is nothing difficult about using it and if you will follow simple rules you will get superior results.

Herm Sprenger company uses stainless steel for manufacturing this pinch collar. The reason is that this stuff possesses a great variety of benefits. The most outstanding are the following: resistance to rust, moist and water, durability, shining look. We assure you that the gear will not corrode with years or lose its look. One more thing we can't but mention. If you are afraid that the gear can damage fur of your English Bulldog, there are no grounds to worry as prongs contact directly with skin causing no damage to the pet's hair.
Note that here are two ways to attach a leash to this prong collar. It can either be connected to the live-ring or the dead-ring the tool is equipped with. Which one you choose depends on the dog and on what you are trying to do. When the snap is on the
live-ring the correction is increased because more slack is taken out of the collar when the correction is given and the leash is popped. The live-ring is used if a dog does not respond well to the snap being placed on the dead-ring. The first time a prong is used on a canine the snap should be on the dead-ring. When a correction is applied and the leash is attached to the
dead-ring (to two O-rings at once) the correction will not take as much slack out of the collar as when it is attached to the live-ring.
Remember! There is a general rule of a thumb for prong collars which reads the following: if you need to use more than a couple fingers on the leash while using a prong collar, you’re doing something wrong. So just be sure that you do everything right and then we guarantee that your English Bulldog will not suffer while being collared with a prong tool.
