I have seen those in the pet supply store. If I need to, when he gets older, I will.

Have you used this type of collar?

I hate seeing those collars on pits. If you have a good alpha relationship you won’t need it. I also have a pit, who thinks my husband is his best buddy, but MINDS me right now. I raised him and I’m still the alpha. If I must get rough with him, I use one of two methods (i) muzzle punish; or (ii) ear pinches. I am forceful with both methods if I have to go there. Truthfully, you can hurt my pit’s feelings by just telling him he is a bad dog. Depriving him of our company (by sending him to his kennel) breaks his heart. If he is being a bit hardheaded all I have to say is “Do you want to go to your kennel?” I get instant cooperation. He knows that word “kennel”, just like he knows “bad dog”.

The cats love him, by the way, sleep on him all the time, play with his tail and walk all over him. He loves kids and babies and has the gentlest mouth of any dog I’ve ever known. He’s a very good boy, and I try to be an excellent owner.

Absolutely...I could not think of training a so-called PBT without one. Amstaffs, bullterriers, staffs and other "bullies" have notoriously high pain treshholds and they need pronged collars to get the right training response desired. These collars simulate teeth--what a mother dog would do to her pups when training them in the wild--but do not harm the dog. As I pointed out, these dogs have high tolerance for any stimuli but absolutely require socialization and training to become great pets (some hard-case "bullies" even must be trained with shocking devices and stunners) but, the point is: ALL CAN BECOME THE BEST PET YOU'VE EVER OWNED! They will give you unquestioned loyalty and love, protection and great satisfaction always.
