I forget Westy... did you say your extremely orally fixated pit has lots of good things to put in his mouth, like raw knuckle bones, nylabones, kongs?
We've got nylabones scattered all over the house, & we play tug daily at least, as I described. In fact, that's how I discovered Leerburg, trying to find tugs that would withstand 70# hanging off them.
We're getting some rib bones for the pup already. Pits were bred to use their mouths.... and that's all your guy is wanting to do, what he's bred for. So if you show him how you want him to do that, he will. 'Cause pits (in general, of course) just want to please their owners (most of the time, except when the inner terrier comes out & they just have to get that rabbit NOW & you can go jump off a flippin' bridge for all they care. LOL)
Border collies are bred for bite inhibition, the exact opposite of pits.
I checked for why not the quick release, but downloading that clip would use up all my download time (I'm on satellite & it's a fair use policy), not to mention take a year & a day to download... so could someone sum up?
Sorry, OT, Where can I mention that all the instant download videos are problematic for those of us on restricted systems?

Herm Springer also makes a prong with a metal snap buckle. Easy peasy. That's what I use.
I agree.
I was going to post a link to the quick-release Sprenger collars but Leerburg is no longer selling them.
Ed has a video on the prong page to explain why...
Can you (anyone) link me? Or recap what the video says?
A dog I fostered came with a quick release prong collar. After talking her for a walk
with the prong collar and seeing how easy it can fail and come apart convinced me
to not use them.She walked past another dog and lunged and the prong fell off. No event because the other dog was friendly and I had control of her. But I did learn
to use caution when using a quick release prong(always use a backup collar.)

Jane,
Our free videos or our pay-per-view videos require an internet connection with a 3 mg download. They will of work with as little as 1 Mg but may be jumpy. In the world of high speed internet this isn't much - in my home I get 30 mg down. You can check your internet speeds by going to speedtest.net and click on START NOW.
I understand there are some folks who still have dial-up or who portal to the internet with a satellite. Not much I can do about that other than feel sorry for them. But the fact is unless you get a higher speed internet connection you’re never going to watch stream video - Not mine - not anyone’s.
As far as "QUICK RELEASE PRONG COLLARS" go. I chose to stop selling them. I think they are dangerous - not a little dangerous - very dangerous.
A quick release prong is a WALKING TALKING DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN.
