Title: Works great; gentle correction safe for puppy
Product review: We used this on our full-of-energy Bernese Mountain Dog puppy (4 months) to train her to walk on a leash without pulling (or stopping). It works great, she's very responsive, and it's very gentle. I put the collar around my bare calf and tugged as hard as I could on the leash, and can personally testify that the discomfort is minor - no piercing of the skin at all. more like a tight grip with fingertips. Highly recommended.[[Update]] - As our puppy grew, the pressure she could put on the links by pulling increased dramatically. Also, the method of opening the collar to let her out, namely disconnecting two adjacent links, started to wear down the plastic nubs holding the links together. Eventually the links started to pop open when she pulled on the collar, which led us to purchase a metal prong collar instead.
