Whoa Post & Pinch Collar

Post by nj gsp » Thu Jan 18, 2007 8:37 pm

I'm hoping I can get some advice on the use of a pinch collar, specifically when used with a whoa post.

1. Is it really necessary?
1a. Which brand/type is best/safest?
2. Does it shorten the training time?

I think I maybe already know the answers (no and yes) but would like some input from you folks with more experience than I - which is probably most of you I think.

Thanks!

I prefer the Rick Smith method of whoa post
no pinch collar
