ok, after must thought and consideration i finally purchased a prong collar. and i have to admit i am very impressed. tito has always been great to walk around the area we live, but whenever we took him anywhere new, he went crazy pulling and choking. the prong collar put an end to that.

i still use his nylon collar, but when he starts to pull enough to choke and sputter i change him over to the prong. yesterday i walked him all the way to the beach and back, which is an hour each way, and he was an angel.

i hope witha bit of practise and more training, we can switch him off the prong and just use his normal collar all the time.
