Two pictures of Jada

She is absolutely stunning! As is the morning shot, but of course the Jada pics are my favorite :D.

As a side note, you may find that Jada is pretty miserable with a halti on. I used a halti on Tommy for almost two years when walking in the neighborhood because he's stronger than me and would startle at things and I was afraid he'd startle and yank out into the street. He was SO miserable with the halti, no matter how much I gave him treats while wearing it, no matter how often I used it to get him used to it, he was ALWAYS miserable and trembled when I took it out. In fact he actually panicked more when he startled and felt it tighten around his face.

Some dogs do fine with them but some are much more miserable with them than they would be with the prong collar (which I've actually never seen a dog look miserable wearing unless the owner was misusing it).

I have to agree with you 100%. I used a prong on Dale, occasionally. If i was walking him, and had Christian with me, I had to...he was too big and strong, if there was any temptations, i could not risk him pulling me...somethings you can not predict on a walk, and so the prong gave me complete control. Swissie can pull 1000's of pounds carting and he was fully capable of pulling me, if he really wanted to. I know Pits are strong too...so i totally understand you using one.

And i agree with Jessica, Dale did not mind having the prong on at all...when he would see it come out, he would actually get excited, and know a walk was going to happen...he would go into a sit and i would put it on him and he would get a treat. There was slack to it, so only if he was pulling would he feel a pinch...if he walked normal, it had slack and was like any other collar.

Anyway, sorry that your thread had to be sidetracked with this, but none the less....as I said, she is beautiful and we were lucky to be able to share in the pics!!

Thanks so much ladies! Your support means a lot to me. I don't want people thinking I would ever use something that would hurt Jada because I wouldnt! I love her way to much she is my baby.:D

What a beautiful girl! :D Don't worry about the prong collar issue. We all know you love your dogs. :)

Oh Jada, I came back to look at your pictures again and you are just SOO beautiful! :D
