Have you tried a prong collar? Prong collars are not at all uncomfortable unless the dog pulls, which then the collar give an apportion correction. They look like a torture device, but they actually are less uncomfortable and less likely to injure a dog than a stifle collar that can damage the trachea. A prong collar mimicks the bite that a dominant dog would give as a correction, but causes no wound to the dog. It does not sqeeze or put more pressure on the neck than is necessary but it...

You emerge to be attempting to be deterring pulling, but have you actually trained your dog to walk nicely on lead? Your dog won't distinguish what you expect of him if you don't get that mesage across clearly.

You should consider getting into an obedience class where you can learn to enlighten your dog to walk nicely on lead, rather than just trying to deter it from happening.

The disquiet/spray/beep collars aren't for teaching your dog how to walk nicely.

Why aren't you using a prong collar?

Prong collars have worked for my dogs until I was expert to get them into a training class. My mom gives me a lot of grief and calls them "torture collars" - which shows how much she knows! They're truly safer than choke chains and even Haltis or gentle leaders.

I use a unruffled leader and everyone I know is very satisfied with it. The leash attaches to the collar right on the muzzle so when the dog pulls his principal will turn in your direction which they dont like. If you keep using negative things to walk your dog, he wont even fancy to go out the door. Hope this works.

I consent with the prong collar idea. Also are you sure the choker collar is on correctly. Many people don't profit there is a right and wrong way to put them on the dog and use them properly.
I'm kinda worried about the shock,spray thing. Again I would advance that a trainer teach you how to use the equipment properly.
