Aly,
What do you do if you have the best trained dog in the world BUT it should decide to go after something and it decides not to listen to you? What do you use for some control then? I'm not trying to be a smart a** or anything I'm really not. I would think that could happen sometimes though.

With Jada having pit in her I honestly feel like I need some control over her because what if she suddenley decided to go after something? I would be in so much trouble because she has the pit in her and you know how people can be about them. I just feel safer when we are out if she has on the prong. I love Jada with all my heart and I wouldn't use anything on her that I thought would hurt her. May I ask you what it is that you dislike about the prong collar so much? Do you honestly think it really hurts the dog? Jada does not act like she is any any pain what so ever when she has on her prong collar.
