Looking at the picture again, I think irregardless of who makes the collar, they should go back to the drawing board and start from scratch.
From looking at the picture, there's no way one can center the spikes(?) evenly around the neck because the pull ring is off center of the collar workings. So on one side of the neck nothing but a strap and on the other side, prongs(?) running all the way up the neck, even up behind next to the ring (where they do no work at all).
Thanks, but I'll stick to the good old fashioned un-PC pinch.

Good points Randy, and useful even if one does go with a neck tech because as you see there's a snap version that would meet your criticism.

From what I have heard the NechTech seems to be noisy and not too many folks are thrilled with it overall. Supposedly HS are working on a better, improved version.
I just ordered my dominant dog collar and my hs quick release prong collar. I watched both Leerburg videos on fitting and the usefulness of the DD collar as a back up.
Does the dominant dog collar come with some directions? (lol)
My pup is good natured and easy going but he does bark and pull a bit when we are walking along casually (not really training)and he sees another dog in the middle distance. My response to this in the past (pre-motivational training) would be to pulse the lead until the dog turned to me and then cue him to walk at my side and give me his attention (then reward etc.).
First, I realize that might not be the best way to handle his behavior within a motivational rubric. But, for the sake of discussion how would one use the dominant dog/ prong colloar combo in that situation?

There are three big difference between this collar and prong collars.
1)The way the prong collar tightens (similar to a martingale) puts equal stimulation around the whole neck. This collar doesn't look like it will do this.
2)The prongs have a rotating action when the collar tightens. This means the ends aren't facing straight in while the pressure is applied.
3)The prongs are not as pointed on the ends.

This collar almost looks like a collar designed to make the dog back off of it rather than one designed for a correction. Some of the hunters around where I live have collars with spikes on the inside for that purpose. Has anyone seen one of these being used? I'm just curious...
