Dogs and humans perceive things differently, including training tools.
If you don’t have direct experience with a tool and you want to know the truth about it, look at direct evidence of how it is perceived by dogs, not how it is described by people.
How can you tell how something is perceived by a dog? Look at their body language – their movement and expression. A shut-down or distressed dog looks very different from a motivated and happy dog. Dogs don’t lie.
Many people will give their opinions about various training tools. You will see conflicting information at every turn, which often isn’t valuable or helpful. If you really want to know more about a tool, look at the dog’s feelings for the honest and unfiltered answer.
