Author: Connie Price, CPDT, Gentle Touch Dog Training, Stockton, CA I have been a professional trainer for over 10 years. I started out using choke chains, prong collars, and traditional training, then, 8 years ago I was "turned on" to Positive Reinforcement, and found out you didn't have to hurt your dog to teach them good manners." I joined APDT (Assoc. of Pet Dog Trainers) and through the APDT list posts by other trainers, I found out about the Scruffy Guider Collar. I found it to be a very important addition to my "toolbox." Owners of large dogs in particular find it helpful for managing their dog's behavior in the house thanks to the handle design. I have a client that I assisted in training his service/seeing eye dog, and he loves the Scruffy Guider, the double collar system allowed him to feel if her head turned or dipped during training, and the handle allowed him to hold her closer if it were necessary. Small dogs can benefit from the Scruffy because it does not cause the choking problems like a regular buckle collar can. I would love to introduce this collar to Police K-9 units, I think they would find it very useful. I have a set at my classes so I can allow my clients to try them on. I have a Scruffy for one of my dogs and she gets excited whenever she sees it. The only bad thing I can say about the Scruffy Guider is, "Darn, why didn't I think of it!?

Author: Sherie Gintner, Canine Behavior Counselor (Western PA. Humane Society) The Scruffy Guider is an ideal tool for stopping “bad” behaviors and redirecting dogs toward good behaviors that win them praise. The Scruffy Guider’s prominent handle allows dog owners to interrupt problem behaviors without a lot of fumbling around. In addition, due to the unique, two-buckle design the Scruffy Guider distributes the strength of the owner over the full length of the dog’s neck. This gives the owner control over the dog without putting pressure on one spot on the young dog’s undeveloped neck. The owner can more effectively stop problem behaviors. Once the behavior is interrupted, the Scruffy Guider enables the owner to continue guiding the dog into a sit or down position. The dog can then be rewarded for being in control.

Author: C. Shelley (English Bulldog) The Scruffy Guider is the best collar we've ever used. We had at least 4 collars before this one. Our dog is 50 lbs. of muscle (Bulldog), and this collar gives us the control to handle him. It's great!

Author: K. Underwood (Akita) The Scruffy Guider saved my arms and allowed me to continue to love her. It really helps me to guide her. I tell all my friends about it!

Author: Glenis Levine (18 month, Gold Retriever) The collar has been wonderful at helping me gain control without feeling I'm hurting my dog. The handle is great for working through agility obstacles.
|
Author: C. Bostaph (Great Dane) With having such a large dog, the Scruffy Guider really helped us gain control. Other collars slipped lower on her neck where she couldn't feel it. The Scruffy Guider stays high up and gives us great control!

Author: B. Cratty (Border Collie Mix) Emma tended to pull back when timid or pull ahead when excited. These behavioral problems caused me anxiety because I felt like I was stretching her neck. The Scruffy Guider lessened my anxiety and eased the pull on her neck. Thanks.

Author: J. Wasson (Jack Russell) Scruffy has been a great tool for our "high energy" dog. The handle feature of the collar is especially useful. Our dog has shown wonderful progress in just a few weeks.

Author: B. Marks (Lab) We've had Jasper's "Scruffy" since she was 6 months old. We would have been lost without it. It is essential for any dog who pulls. Both our dogs wear "Scruffy". They are invaluable.

Author: Amy I bought one of these for my 100 pound Rottie mix... finally, after spending well over $200 on gentle leads, harnesses, chokes, and other devices he is finally controllable on the leash. I am buying another one for my other crazy dog because I am confident that it will teach her to walk properly as well!
