Your cart is empty.The Alternative Training Collar by Joel Silverman, patented in 2011, is designed as a humane alternative to traditional correction collars such as the chain collar, martingale style collar, and pinch collar. Each of these traditional collars has its own drawbacks, particularly when it comes to the application of pressure during corrections. For over a decade, the Alternative Training Collar has been used by thousands of dog owners to address common behavioral issues like leash pulling and jumping. Its design allows handlers to guide their dogs more effectively, making it a popular choice among trainers who want a tool that provides both control and humane treatment. This collar aims to offer a middle ground between traditional tools, combining ease of use with the ability to correct undesirable behaviors while prioritizing the dog’s well-being. This product is not in, and has never been sold in stores.

Expensive but good quality. We only used this collar after being explicitly taught how to do use it safely by a trainer. Our dog responds well to it, the flick of a finger.

We wanted to love these collars, but didn't even try them on our dogs. None of the pictures show the huge "Joel Silverman" engraved in the leather, front and center, of the collars. They do appear to be wonderfully made. We're just oddly picky and can't do the weird advertising. Sharing pics so others know exactly what they are buying before they make a purchase.

I love this collar. All my dogs have one. And as a dog trainer, I also need collars that are secure for client’s dogs. These are great. They are sturdy and the chain doesn’t make a sound when my dogs are walking around. Once properly fitted, it also prevents escaping out of regular collars. Highly recommend
