Definitely like this collar. No closing on the throat and smaller teeth than a pinch collar (they are *not* sharp) so definitely gentler, good looking (small imperfections in Curogan finish so I took off one star, but not noticeable except under close inspection), and just enough to provide a smidge more feedback to a dog that may pull with a flat collar. It does jingle a bit so if you’re looking for silence, this may not be for you, and I’m told that it may not be enough for a stubborn puller but my own dog isn’t, this was perfect for us.Note that as another reviewer tried to comment, but negatively in her case as I guess that’s not what she actually wanted, this is the Necktech sport model, usable for training & with small, non-sharp teeth intended to mimic a dog’s teeth, not the Necktech fun model that is pictured with no teeth and which is not intended to have a corrective or training function at all. They do also sell those but you need to search for Necktech fun.This item is stylish and looks great on my dog. I did have to adjust the links a bit, and have to make certain of its position relative to the back of his neck and the lead. Although perhaps not quite as effective as an actual prong collar, it nonetheless relates my message to my dog. The material is solid and strong, and the collar is well made and secure. I expect to use (and be able to use) this collar for quite a while.Item is not the same as the one shown. It has sharp points inside instead of the flat surface that its supposed to have as shown. This is an old version . Biyer beware and DONT BUY from this seller.does not come off like the other pinch collars
