For the training of large dogs or the correction of their behavior, dog breeders use such a piece of ammunition as a strict collar, called parfors or a stripper. If the dog is naughty, aggressive or has other serious behavioral problems, then the use of a strict collar is fully justified. In these cases, a strict collar for a large dog acts much more efficiently than a conventional collar. However, such an impact should be short-lived, and should only be applied at the right time.
How to choose a strict collar for a large dog?
A strict dog collar consists of a set of connected metal links with spikes. Most often fasteners on a strict collar are not present, and its edges are connected by means of a chain. Sometimes on the outside, a strict collar is covered with leather or cloth.
Properly put on a strict collar should be located high on the neck of the dog, almost under her ears. There is an erroneous opinion that a freely hanging strict collar less injures the dog. On the contrary, during the breakthrough parfors, moving up the neck of the animal, it can be severely injured.
Therefore, a strict collar should be precisely fitted around the dog's neck. If parfors is a bit loose, several extra links should be removed. A strict collar is attached and removed using a latch or a carbine. If these are not present in the design, then to remove the collar, it is necessary to open the links of the chain.
As practice shows, you can use a strict collar for dogs only temporarily. If it is worn constantly, the dog will soon get used to the planter and the effect from its application will not be. As an exception, you can use a strict collar and at home. For example, if you expect the arrival of guests, and in the yard you have a large dog, then for a short time, in order to avoid any excesses, you can put on it parfors.
As soon as the dog begins to make progress in the process of correcting its behavior, it is necessary to gradually switch to the use of a more gentle collar-hammer, and then the usual collar.
