FLAT NON-SLIP BUCKLE COLLAR

Dog Trainer Certification

Dog Training Tool: Flat, Non-Slip Buckle Collar

​Rating: Acceptable when fitted properly and used for safety and identification only. Not acceptable to use as a correction device.

​Note: The intended use of the flat, non-slip buckle collar does not include an operant sequence as its purpose is for safety and identification only, when attached to a leash or life-line. When used as a correction collar it works with the following quadrants of operant conditioning.

Operant Sequence: Positive Punishment or Negative Reinforcement

Positive Punishment
Adding a pop-release correction to decrease the likelihood that the behaviour will be repeated. For example, adding a pop-release correction with the leash to stop the dog from pulling.


​Negative Reinforcement
Stopping the pop-release corrections to increase the likelihood that the behaviour will be repeated. For example, ending the pop-release correction to keep the dog in heel position (avoidance conditioning).


Conclusion: Acceptable as a safety device and/or to hold identification. Not to be used as a correction device.
