Hi, But there are always two - one in each end of the leash. I am a human being and I hope I sometimes is a little bit more educated than the dog when it comes to intellectual thinking. I am the one who can decide not to be a strength in one end causing my dog a damage. We are many, also many on the list, who very well know the kind and soft methods of training without any pinches and jerks will give you a so much happier and healthier dog. I am also one of them who is quite uninterested in obedience classes or training for my dog. My dog got a close "human" natural training in everyday life and I do not enjoy competitions in general and not competitions in obedience. I see no need for prong or pitch collars or no other cruelty to animals.
I leave this topic and will in the future concentrate on the positive things discusssed on the list and how we as humans can help our Bernerfriends. Margareta Strand " It is not the collar that > causes the injury but the human on the end of the leash." >
