Currently they are also obtainable made out of plastic material that is preferred by many. These collars control the dog by means of slightly "pinching" the neck when the handler pulls on the lead.

The dogs' body naturally follows the head and a harness does an extremely good job of controlling the head. Whilst they might look to be very restrictive, the dog rapidly gets used to them. They are particularly helpful in handling aggressive dogs.
