No, dear - you don`t turn it into a contest. It`s counter productive. You use your voice and the lead to lure the dog and change direction. Then you start to train the dog by rewarding the good and averting the unwanted behaviours.
Of course you bring training into it, but if dogs were perfectly trained there would be no need for collars in the first place. In the real world this is not the case and dogs are put on leads for a reason.
No, dear, you need to train the dog. That`s what training`s for. If you want to pull something about, get a pull-along train.
Again the the metal pieces on the collar will have padding below them and all edges and corners will be rounded.

It's like being Will Smith in I, Robot atm, except it's just you rather than the rest of the population with the faith in the 3 laws.
However as the collar is in permanent contact with the dog and not being swung at it from a distance with any force what you have just posted is completely irrelevant.
You would feel a slap rather than a thud as the axe is likely to be made from carbon steel and wood where as the collar is made from thin aluminium in comparison and leather (whilst having a much lower mass and a lager contact surface). You also don't "pad" axes to keep them from cutting people lol.
Force = mass * acceleration
Of course there is more to it (reaction of the thing being hit and so on) but GCSE level and lower physics, along with a google search isn't hard to do for yourself.
All I can think of now is the response Jim Downey gives to Adam Sandler in Billy Madison.
