Flat buckle- Public is very accepting of this, generally considered best for pups, really hard to get a "good" correction Really hard to use improperly
Choke, a little less accepted by the public, longest history as a training collar, easy to use if you have been trained in the proper use, ability to get good corrections, can cause loss of fur in ring around neck
Pinch Collar- public often thinks this type of collar is cruel, very good and consistant corrections, should not be left on unsupervised dog, most natuaral type of correction, requires training of handler, Never allowed at Dog events
Martingale- public is usually pretty accepting of this, less effective corrections compared to the Pinch Collar (Pinch collar has the same movement as a Martingale)
Head Halti- Often looked at strangly by public and dog people, Uses both leverage and pressure on the head, often cited as potentially damaging to the neck for high drive dogs. great for walking dog with pulling tendacies
Electronic Collar- Often looked on by the public as a torture device, Most likely to get you yelled at by the public, has the fastest correction times, has the most consistant corrections and the most easily adjustable, Has the greatest distance for corrections, Never allowed at Dog Events
No Pull Harness- not a training device simply limits dogs from pulling by applying pressure and asymetrical force. safest for dogs that you don't want to pull but don't want to train not to pull
