Should you use a collar or a harness when training your dog? Compulsion trainers don't want you to use a harness because they don’t understand how to communicate with a dog unless there’s something around the dog’s neck Are you confused about choosing the right collar or harness for your dog? This video is your ultimate guide to selecting the perfect training tool that suits your dog's needs and ensures their comfort.

Discover the secrets that oldschool trainers don't want you to know: why harnesses, specifically Yshaped harnesses, are often the best choice for training. Unlike traditional collars that may restrict a dog's range of motion, Yshaped harnesses offer flexibility without inhibiting your pet's movement. Learn how these harnesses serve not just as a training tool, but as a safety net that supports effective communication with your dog.

In this video, we break down the myths about harnesses and explore why they're often misunderstood by traditional trainers. You'll understand why they believe something must be around a dog's neck to communicate, and how modern training techniques challenge this outdated perspective. Whether it's a Yshaped harness or a flat collar for a welltrained older dog, we discuss various scenarios to guide you in making the right choice for your unique situation.

Additionally, you'll get insight into how training tools like harnesses and collars are merely secondary to the underlying training methods. Emphasizing positive reinforcement and understanding your dog's emotional state, we'll reveal how the tools themselves don't teach the dog, but aid in creating a strong bond and effective communication between you and your pet.
