A pinch or force collar is not painful and safer for your dog then a choker. For dogs that are thick-necked and don't realize they are being corrected with a choker, a pinch collar is a reminder. A choker, improperly used or continuesly pulled on by a big dog who can't feel it or ignores the correction, can crush the dog's trachea.
You have one LARGE dog there. I say give the pinch collar a try. If the trainer knows what he is talking about, you may see a vast improvement.
I use a pinch collar on my beagle mix. She came to me all muscle with no manners. Since she is a hunting dog, she thinks she has to follow every scent she comes across. With her pinch collar, she walks along sweetly and pays attention to me. With her flat collar, she chokes herself trying to check things out.
