Some things you won’t need if you consult a PURE Dog Listener:

Spike Collar

Spike Collar in use
The Spike, Prong or German Collar. Part of the “do what i want or i’ll hurt you” range of training aids.
Would you use this on a child?
Some more equipment for “traditional” training…

Shock Collar Prongs

Shock collar trigger unit
Does your dog not come back when you call him? Use this and he may never come back again! The unit is used so that the electrodes are held firmly against the dog’s throat to ensure good electric contact. Note the ‘intensity’ button on trigger unit.
Some more real hands on equipment that you’ll never see a PURE Dog Listener use…

Riding Crop and Head Collar
Riding crop to ‘teach’ dog to sit as soon as they are told.
Head collar to stop dog pulling. Often these can cut into the face below the eye and cause discomfort and possible injury.

Check or Choke Chain
Uncomfortable for the dog even if used correctly in training (check). Potentially lethal when (as they often are) used incorrectly (choke)
And there’s more!!

Remote control spray collar
This one sprays citronella in your dogs face. Also comes in mustard flavour!
And if all else fails…

Why not drug your dog to alter his behaviour? It works well on humans doesn’t it?
So what will you need if you consult a PURE Dog Listener and use the techniques that they will teach you?

Collar and lead
Just a collar and slip lead….

Toy and Treats
and a toy and some food rewards.
Which method should you choose? Mmmm, let me think.
Who said no pain no gain?
