Nicole,
I just looked and did not see this collar listed on the GDB website's gift shop. Do you know where else one can purchase this collar? Thanks a lot!

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.

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
