I did try ALL the methods known to man for @ 2 months,, but after having my arm pulled out of my socket a few times,, it was time for something new... so out came the collar,,,, I dont think its cruel because used properly,, its the dog that controls the pressure,, not the handler. If it hurts or is uncomfortable,, Lucy stopped pulling,,,,, it took us a total of 3 days for her to catch on,, and now its gathering dust in my closet,,, I need to add that I did not scare my dog into submission,,,, it was her choice to stop pulling,, I never once pulled myself on the leash to make the collar tight....
Oh,, and saying people are uneducated because they use a prong is kind of,,, well insulting.
