STAINLESS STEEL FORCE (PINCH) Training Collar for Rottweiler
First adjust the collar by removing links or adding lengths to get a “good” fit – a fit where the Rottweiler will be comfortable when he is in the proper position but will become uncomfortable when he gets out of position.
If the dog is wearing a regular collar, place the prong collar in front of the regular collar and check frequently to be sure the prong collar is not hanging up on the regular collar.
I suggest keeping the pinch/prong dog collar low on the dog’s neck and walking at a slow.
After several sessions, you should be able to progress to a varied pace, and quicker and sharper turns and stops.
Placing the pinch collar higher on the dog’s neck usually causes more discomfort and a better response in dogs that have not responded after several sessions.
Also, a hs collar with smaller diameter prongs will usually elicit a better response for dogs that have been slow in responding.
