Buddy is on vacation for a few days - from his pinch collar. He will continue his normal routine of walks and outings, but I have been working him without the pinch collar.
There are two reasons for this. The first is that Buddy has gained weight and we think the pinch collar is too small so we are ordering some additional links to lengthen the collar. The real reason is that Buddy should be able to respond to subtle corrections and voice commands.
Since the weather was so nice today we ended up taking three nice walks and Buddy did well on only the flat buckle collar. We will see how he responds on some outings the next few days. He also spent some time chasing his plastic ball and snow balls through the yard as I cleared the ice away.
