The Alternative Training Collar by Joel Silverman, patented in 2011, is designed as a humane alternative to traditional correction collars such as the chain collar, martingale style collar, and pinch collar. Each of these traditional collars has its own drawbacks, particularly when it comes to the application of pressure during corrections. For over a decade, the Alternative Training Collar has been used by thousands of dog owners to address common behavioral issues like leash pulling and jumping. Its design allows handlers to guide their dogs more effectively, making it a popular choice among trainers who want a tool that provides both control and humane treatment. This collar aims to offer a middle ground between traditional tools, combining ease of use with the ability to correct undesirable behaviors while prioritizing the dog's well-being. This product is not in, and has never been sold in stores.
