[nagdu] Too much Sniffing

No, it's not the martingale. It is similar  to the choke chain except that
it is made of thin cloth. There is a clip that holds the collar tight enough
that it does not slide down the dog's neck. If I remember correctly, my
friend got hers from GDB, but they are not standard issue. Digging back
through threads a while back, here is the description from the GDB website.

Nylon Slip Collar
This collar functions in a similar way to metal slip collars. However, nylon
slip collars are fitted to stay high on the dog's neck as they have a snap
that enables them to be put on around the dog's neck instead of over the
head. Because of this, the length of the collar can be shorter. This high
positioned collar enables the handler to quickly and calmly gain the proper
response from the dog. It has the effectiveness of the high collar technique
yet eliminates the need to adjust the collar. 
The dog still wears their assigned collar with identification, which gives
you the option to change the leash from one collar to the other as needed.
Nylon slip collars are available in a variety of colors so they can either
blend in with the dog's coat or contrast with their fur.

Oh right, Nicole; the Martingale collar which I need to see as a young
friend is trying to use one that sounds different than the one I saw.
Sincerely,

If you find that you need to give a high collar correction often, there is a
collar that stays in that position.

Hi Nicole,

	I haven't done the high collar; it isn't the easiest thing for me to
manage, but I appreciate everyone's ideas and help he is such a great dog
but for that.
Darla & hardworking Huck

What kind of correction are you using? Were you taught  about the high
collar position? Also, another piece of equipment that some people choose to
use is a pinch collar. I personally don't like the idea, but it does work
for people. I have a friend who used to have a sniffy lab. She would use the
pinch collar in its intended way once or twice, and then the dog would
behave.

As all of you know, I love this dog to pieces but oh that labbie nose; he
sniffs way too much and doesn't seem to mind the corrections. Sometimes,
"Leave it" works, but at other times, it works for that distraction but not
the next.

                Any ideas?  GDA does not use the gentle leader or haltie.

Desperately,

And Huck the biggest Nose of the Midwest
