Pinch/prong collars are a Godsend.
I was horrified by them at first but due to the idiot e-vet injuring Odin’s neck, I had to find something that -never- jerked/yanked/pulled on his cervical vertebrae, no matter what.
Herm-Sprenger makes the best ones.
They work -entirely- by *squeezing* pressure points on the dog’s neck, mimicking the ‘corrective bite’ of its mother.
They are by far the most gentle training collar, despite their barbaric appearance.
They’re “power steering” for your dog.

Those are the ones we use, too. They are well-worth the cost.
