hi tom.  an over-the-ear correction is used as the most stern
physical correction you can give a guide dog.  you pull the choak
chain up to the level of her ears and yank the leash like giving a
normal quick leash correction.  this produces sort of an electric
shock effect to the dog.  again, this is not meant to be used a lot
as guide dog users will tell you.hope that answered that one.  i
never gave my last dog that type of correction and for that matter,
she didn't require much physical correcting, verbal was
sufficient.
