Sturdiest Way To Stitch Dee Ring To Dog Collar?

[aguilerag]

I have been a dog trainer for approximately 4 years on my own and Martingale collars are a good "tool" to use. I dont agree with it being the only real way to train though.

I actually train all my dogs without the collar but have my clients buy them to help during walks during the beginning of training. I never have them pull on the leash, ever, but if the dog starts walking in front and doesn't slow down or look at the owner I have them just stop and the dog does the rest to itself. You could use any collar for this but the I like the way the martingale squeezes and not just ads force like a regular one would do. After a couple of lessons they usually do not need the collar any more.

Different collars are used for different things, a 2" working collar allows the dog to work and pull without choking the dog... I agree that having center bar buckles are a pain to put on a dog that is ready to work. I use roller buckles with all of my working dogs (currently 12), they work great and I wouldn't change a thing. Now that I have a machine I will start making a few...
