I don’t understand the difference between a choke collar and a dominant dog collar. It seems like they are both used as a Jerk & Release correction.
Full Question:
I do not understand why the chain choke collar can cause neck injuries and the dominant dog collar doesn't. I have seen the DVD on the dominant dog collar, and I understand about the value of keeping the collar right behind the ears, but it still seems to me that it is a "jerk and release" action, just like the chain choke collar. Is it the placement on the dog's neck the difference? Or the fact that it will give "softer" jerks? I'm not getting the mechanics of the difference. Thank you. 
Cindy's Answer:
You do not use the dominant dog collar by jerking, it's a steady calm upward pull up.
If you read the info on this page, it explains how to use it. You'll have to scroll down for the articles. It's also covered in our DVD Dealing with Dominant & Aggressive Dogs.
If you need a collar to "jerk & release" you should consider a prong.
I hope this helps.
