I think a lot of people get the wrong impression about Prong collars. they think its a bunch of pointy sharp brissles going into your dogs neck when it pulls on the leash and causes pain.... and frankley they look like something out of a med evil tourcher chamer doesnt help either.

but they really do not hurt.
someon said it reminds the dog of another dog grabbing it by the scruff its neck to 'repermend it' much like a mother dog would do when her puppy gets a little too over baring.

ill be hoesnt,, at first glance at prong collar i said 'who the frick would use that on their dog?' and started browsing the web and found a webpage about a dude who uses a prong collar for his Mastiff and it has changed my opinion about prong collars for the better,, even though i havent ever used one.
