Defective. You just have to know how to use them. I've added a video for reference, but I'll explain it too. If you use one of these, the first thing you need to do is make sure you choose the right size. Measure around the widest part of the dog's head, under the chin, around the back of the head and behind the ears. Then add 2 to 3 inches. Too much slack and you risk the collar coming off when the dog puts his head down. It also requires more effort when trying to fix the behavior. Too small and the dog will be uncomfortable and difficult to put on and take off. Two to three inches to your dog's measurements should be enough. Remember that measurements include rings. After getting your measurements, think about the thickness of the collar. Thicker doesn't always mean better. The thicker they are, the less the effect of the correction. So when using a behavioral collar, thicker is not better. Thinner cuffs are more effective, and as long as they're genuinely stainless steel, they shouldn't break. They should also not rust or cause discoloration. (I can't comment on this collar as I haven't had it long enough, but I'll update this review when needed.) Now that I've moved on to size and thickness, the next step is usage. To use the choker you need to thread the chain through one of the loops to turn it into a real choker. Then find out which side your dog usually walks on. Well, that's important, YOUR DOG'S FACE. Have them sit in front of you, and as they walk to your right, form the collar into a "qβ and place it on your head. When they come to your left, give it a "p" and put it on your head. It should slide easily over your head but not be too loose. It should be similar to how you feel when you put on a new shirt. Tight, but not tight. When it slides past his head, it should be about two inches or more, depending on the breed. To make sure you put it on correctly, stand next to your dog with the leash tied and facing in the direction you want to go. Now pull up the leash. If the collar returns to its original position, you have put it on correctly. Have fun and be careful. Never leave your dog unattended with this collar. It is intended for educational purposes only. If your collar breaks, try not to panic. Most dogs do not immediately realize that they have been released. If you can, stay calm and let the leash slide. This way you could avoid a disaster. If your dogs are already on the run, there are two ways to get the dog to come back to you: 1. Open the car door and ask him if he wants to "roll," or 2. Lie on the Floor. The second sounds silly I know, but for some reason it works. Obviously the second option is not suitable if your dog is aggressive. The first, however, is the proven way to do it. Just make sure it's your car. Yes, it was an interesting day. As for the effectiveness of this collar, I'm sure it's strong enough for most dogs if my Malinois hasn't already destroyed it. I can't comment on rust or discoloration of my dog's coat but if it does I will update the information. Or when something changes for better or worse.
