Abstract: A humane training and control collar that is adapted to give a trainer or owner of an animal, control and signaling capabilities over an animal while avoiding potential injuries. The humane training and control collar comprises a body band that is fitted around the animal's upper body, a neck piece attached to the body band that fits around the animal's neck and a chest piece that attaches to both the neck piece and body band. The chest piece is designed to restrict the degree to which the neck piece can tighten about the animal's neck as well as to spread any force applied through a leash to the animal's upper body in addition to the animal's neck.
