It will be a heat between the collar and the skin. Wounds like chafes in the armpits, close to the dogs chest. Margareta, I have not seen (nor ever heard of) this happening w/ either the various no pull harnesses, head halters, nor the pinch collar, all of which are used extensively in my area. If it did then it was not fitted properly. The same thing could happen w/ a buckle collar left on a long time too tight. I have never seen anything like this happen and I have used pinch collars myself for several of my dogs and my students' dogs and have many friends who do also. That would never happen in a properly fitted pinch collar b/c it is loose against the fur (you can slide your hand part way under it) except for the moment the dog pulls, which they rarely do very often once they understand how to walk nicely on it.
