I think if your dog is big enough and has the potential to drag you around or pull away from you (and is not 100% trained to listen under any circumstance - which is rare) it is irresponsible of you not to have them on a pinch collar.

I’ve had people tell me it’s abusive of me to have my dog on one. He’s never pulled away or hurt anyone but I’m not trynna find out.

It’s like having a loaded gun and not being responsible with it around others.

Get a Halti leash. It wraps around their head in a way that actually works against the dog the harder it pulls. Thank me later.

Run the leash down their back then under their belly with a half hitch the more they pull the more it squeezes their guts they figure it out quick.

How can a grown man be so weak that a dog pulls him to the ground?

I get there there are Dogo Argentinas, Wolf Dogs, etc but this wasn’t the case. This is a normal breed.

That’s just sad to be that weak as a man

Over compensation.

I'm a big guy and in pretty good shape. I walked a buddy's cane corso WITH a pinch collar and the thing was like trying to restrain a horse when it saw a rabbit. I didn't fall, but only because I started running with it. It wasn't going to take no for an answer.

Some dogs are just flat out beasts.

This collar works wonders on my 80lb doodle but the looks I get from stupid people are starting to wear thin.

I also have a leash with a handle about 12 inches from the collar that I grab when another dog approaches. This prevents me from being pulled down or having the dog cross and trip me.

I walk him twice a day in the neighborhood and usually detour when I see another dog coming the opposite way.

We have a harness with this. We use a pinch collar on our big dog with a harness on really just for this handle (and it has pockets for poop bags and a blinking light for night time walks).

Neighbor down the street owned an Irish Setter that was out of control. The dog was always pulling her down making her fall. Tried to tell her to get a pinch collar but she didn't want to get one because she thought it would hurt the dog. I told her the dog is hurting you more than a pinch collar would hurt it. She refused to listen.
