Tell me about Weighted Collars

[R2L]

I keep mine in kennels, and yes crated inside when in the keep. That's why i wonder how a weighted collar can be of use to me. If i cannot put it on when it's resting or the treadmill, that leaves just the walking part. Dont think it will do much in a week or 6.

I would personally only use those collars while hand walking..not on slat mill work, flirt pole or spring pole work..especially on a lazy walking hound..and maybe on a e - mill it should help ?

Working with a weighted collar will help a dog have a faster mouth. It never hurt Mayfield, and he was absolutely tops in his day as far as shaping one to win.

I use them when doing long walks, or even when dragging some chain. I want the dog to learn to work while carrying a few extra pounds. The initial mouth will be faster and the shaking will be more forceful, more violent. It is a lot like putting a weight on the end of the bat and taking cuts while on deck. The bat speed increases.
The muscles in the neck stretch and contract. maybe not so much as lifting a weight, but the weight being there and the walking, carrying, looking back and forth, nose down, nose up. On a walk the neck is in constant motion. EWO
