How is the Easy Walker different
from other collars and training devices?

"Most training collars, such as slip chains or martingales work on the principle that when the owner tugs on the leash, the dog should change his current behaviour. To have the greatest effect, the collar should be placed closely behind the dogs ears and jaw since this is the most sensitive area. These type of collars are usually placed on the dog by sliding it over the dogs' head. Unfortunately, most collars will keep sliding to the base of the neck to the strongest and least sensitive part. This will make it more difficult to apply the proper correction without having to re-adjust the collar on a continuous basis.
 
Another common "training device" is a head halter. These act more like a steering device such as halter on a horse that directs the animal left or right, learning nothing. Some people confuse the halter with a muzzle. Many dogs try to reject the head halters by trying to paw it off their face. A head halter that is not used correctly can also cause damage to the dog's neck, especially if the dog struggles. The Easy Walker helps dogs learn how to think, make choices and realize what you want from them.

The Easy Walker also has the advantage that parents can assist their children with training the dog by attaching a second leash on one of the outer rings that connect the martingale chain to the webbing.

Most training collars do not include any instructions. Some just a pamphlet. The Easy Walker not only has written instructions on fitting the dog on the box, it also includes a 15 minute DVD which demonstrates how to fit the collar, the principle of it and a short training course to teach the "heel", "sit", "down" and "stay" commands.

In short, it's a trainer in a box."
