If you have a strong and active dog, I can certainly understand not wanting to use a choke collar. I have found that you can purchase a good dog harness that will assist you when taking your dog for a walk, and it will not harm your dog or cause it any discomfort.
A vicar's neck wear is the wrap-around collar (often colloquially referred to as a "dog collar").
Put a neck collar on the dog.
So that we will know that the dog is yours.
It is called a choker collar( or a choker chain), because if your dog say for example, has seen a cat, and goes to chase it, you either pull on the lead or (if the dog is not strong enough to pull you) stand your ground, therefore choking the dog. The dog knows it must stop in order to bring an end to the choking.
A vicar's neck wear is called a clerical collar or a dog collar. It is a distinctive type of collar worn by clergy members in various Christian denominations.

The pros of using a prong or pinch collar to train a dog is that they will stop when the go to far. It teaches the dog sooner not to do something than with a regular collar. The cons of the pinch collar is that it hurts the dog. It pokes into their neck and causes them discomfort.
Extensive pulling against a collar (especially a choke chain) can eventually result in damage to a dog's larynx. It seldom will hurt the dog's neck muscles. Repeated pulling on a dog collar is extremely dangerous and can cause choking, wheezing and coughing, leading to damage to the dog' trachea and in serious cases eventually the dog's spinal columb. It also hurts. An anti-pull dog harness can prevent this, along with training your dog to walk without pulling. I've left links below with information about dog harnesses and a 10 step training routine for getting your dog to stop pulling.
Usualy I put a shock collar on the dog. If you don't want to hurt the dog, grab the back of its neck when it barks.
