Must the dog wear this all of the time? How can they chew thru this collar?

My dog wears the collar all of the time and it works great. They cannot chew through it unless you have it on to loose.

Um is this actually a question? The dog wears this like a regular choke collar and there are three string leashes you can use in and out of the house (as needed). As far as chewing through it is more likely the dog would chew the string like leash. The collar is adjustable and there is really no way the dog can chew the collar unless it is very lose and not adjusted properly.

Hi, I leave the collar only if needed. For example I used it for almost a week everyday and now my dog knows when she is not behaving properly just with looking at the collar, also if I put the collar she also knows she did something wrong and she behaves without using any vibration anymore.

I first put the collar on with room around his neck, next thing I knew he was trapped with it in his mouth. My husband grabbed him and I struggled to get it off him using the buckle, I then made it tighter. This collar is NOT a breakaway as they claim, so be very careful.

My cat has chewed on the collar but it doesn't break off. He got it caught once on a door stopper and it broke off.

The collar emits a very weak sound can only be heard approaching the ear. Be careful to do it may be shocked. The dog listens well that sound. My dog is wearing the collar for over a year and it works perfectly. It is imperative to training the dog as the manufacturer instruction. It is long and tiring but it is very important to do it well.

It is not safe to leave this on your dog as his regular collar. It can be hazardous, both because of the danger of choking and the danger of injury. I took a dog (a pit bull) off leash but left this collar on, turned my back for literally a few seconds, and the next thing I knew, she had her paw caught in the collar. This is a great training collar, but it's ONLY a training collar.

I didn't use a collar. It's optional but a collar will help secure it more. Especially if your pet is actively trying to remove it.

You need to shorten the strap, or otherwise they can do that! Just leave it long enough for them to lay down!Just don't attach to their collar, too dangerous and can cause them to choke. I use their cloth harness, and attach the ring on the strap to the ring on their cloth harness, I obtained from Dorothy's Harnesses@gmail.com.

I never remove the collar. That's a good way to forget to put it back on and now your Pooch can roam freely. Sounds like that rumor was started by someone's Dog.

They work great as long as the collar is on the dog. Once the collar is removed the dog will go about his business as usual. Unless you need the dog to not bark at a specific time the collar needs to be worn constantly which isn't advised by the manufacturer. My dogs won't bark when they have the collar on but bark as normal with it off. Hope that helps.

My dog has a collar on all the time. I just put him in the seat and hook the strap on the seat to his collar. He's little so it works just fine, he loves his seat.

I've been using this collar during training class for my 8 month old male german shepherd for the last 2 months. He is under total control whenever this collar is on, especially when walking by my side. This collar comes highly recommended by his trainer, be careful not to buy off brand collars, it will rip into your dogs neck as mentioned.

This is like a choke collar and it may squeeze the dogs neck too much? You cal also try gentle leader EASY WALK HARNESS which deters pulling, but does not put pressure on the dogs throat.

There is always the possibility with any type of E-collar for chewing. The best you can do is make sure that you purchase one that's long enough for his nose. This ensures he can't get his mouth around it very easily.

Your fur baby's collar goes thru loops in the collar..Then it just Velcro's on. My Brittany wore it with no problem for 10 days.

The collar is very large, but you can make it as small as you like, cut off the excess and heat the end to seal it so it doesn't ravel. I have three collars - one for a pug/terrier mix (about 20 lbs), one for an Olde English Bulldogge (about 70 lbs) and one for a mastiff (about 150 lbs).

I believe it works more like a choker collar if the choker collar is used properly (worn very high up around almost the ears) My dog is a puller and she is slightly better with this. She also didn't mind pulling with the gentle leader
