yes and I'm very sorry about that, can anyone let me know if the pinch collar is illegal

marcella · Guest

it's not illegal Tracy. Smile

It's just not sold in the UK as it's frowned upon by certain establishments! But not illegal. The Police and the Armed Forces use them to train dogs. Smile

thanks just my friend was told that they were illegal and was a bit concerned about it

marcella · Guest

No, they're not. Smile

It's possible you'll see a change in attitude toward them as the Kennel Club are now softening their attitude, they may become more mainstream in the next few years.

They are widely used in Germany and in the USA as they are a kinder option than a choke chain!

OK thanks for letting me know, can anyone give me any advice I'm trying to train Kai to do the stay command but he just doesn't seem interested and wont stay in the sit position for 2 seconds

Tikka was struggling with this today! She sometimes however easily stays? Anyhow John was going over parts of this today in class. Couple of points stood out, the lead on floor (if off-lead) giving a cross over threshold! Also keeping on lead or on long line to build up confidence and allowing easy correction. Very good one that i am very guilty off which i never even thought of is NOT to use your dogs name when commanding! Shocked

Understand reason behind this, learned a good bit today! Laughing

practice.

Nothing more than that. Next week when you start classes John can give you a few helpful words of advice when he sees you both.
Just make sure Kai knows you are boss and don't let him away with anything!!!!
Have a read here:

this information is invaluable, especially when you have a big strong breed. Keep strictly to this and Kai will quickly learn that your word is the law! Wink

The most adorable to others are often the triers of their owners, Tikka is no different! Lol Very Happy

There is a thread about fees, paid at start of every month, in advance!
