Is the dominant dog collar designed to replace the fur saver collar? My club recommended a fur saver rather then a nylon flat buckle collar.

Full Question:
Hi,

Is the dominant dog collar designed to replace the fur saver collar? I was interested in purchasing a prong collar for some pulling issues I am having with my seven month old GSD. I wanted to use the dominant dog collar as a backup for the prong. My dog is not aggressive to people or animals although he does pull to get to other dogs to investigate/play. I already have your Pack Structure DVD which I like but I need a little extra help. Also my club recommended a fur saver rather then a nylon flat buckle collar. Would the dominant dog collar replace that as well? Aren't they basically the same thing?

Thanks for all your help.

The dominant dog collar is either for a back up to a prong or for use in controlling a dog when he chooses to behave in a dominant manner.

A fur saver and a flat collar are not used for corrections at all, they are merely collars to hook a leash to or to attach tags to. I don’t use fur savers or flat collars (either nylon or leather) as correction collars.
