A dog trainer recommended that I use the current collar I have because my dog is so strong so when he tries to pull it tightens and he learns to stop quickly. At first I was not a fan of it either but I have learned to like it since it can't fall apart and works well. I only use it when I am walking him though obviously.
yea the easy walk harness is different,. it goes around and behind their front legs so any time they try to pull or leap away, all you have to do is tug on the leash and it pulls them straight. it "forces" them to walk straight. sometimes they try to fight it but eventually give up and just learn that the harness makes them go straight.

the one you have works based on pain lol which your dog may or may not even care.

i have a bark collar and shock collar for extreme cases for my pup and she will fight it. i have used it before and saw her face twitching while she fought it and eventually stopping as it increased lol.

anywho the easywalk is much easier on their necks but achieves the same result and looks better when you are out in public walking your pup. Ours has held up wonderfully even after numerous swims in the lake after a year. not a sign of deteriorating.
