Ring gags are an excellent tool for training puppies, because they stop you from making words rather than making sounds. That's the point, really. As much as I don't want to hear you use any of those silly human words, I still want to hear everything else. I still want to hear you bark, and whine, and whimper, and moan, and I want to force you to do it. I'll please and torture you in equal measure, maybe even at the same time, just to extract as much noise as I can from you, and that beautiful ring behind your teeth will make sure you only make sounds that I want you to make. You should never be doing anything I don't want you to, speaking included, and sometimes you need a reminder of that.
