Agitation Collars are designed to actually not agitate a dog while engaging in bite work and protection training as opposed to prong collar, choke collar, or thin leather collar.
Agitation Collars' wide flat leather is comfortable enough to allow the dog in training to pull without too much pressure on neck, if you do not want any pressure on the dog's throat, please consider an Agitation Harness.
Dean & Tyler uses premium double-ply leather, you will love the quality of the leather and craftsmanship.
