Thanks everyone! I fixed Baileys prong collar, I read it should be 1/2 a finger between the prong tip and the dogs skin? Should it really be that tight?

I'm not exactly sure if that is the "correct" way or not. Me personally I just judge it by eye, I want it loose enough so that the dog is not getting any tension what so ever when relaxed and also so that you can easily turn it to re-position it in the case that it should slip into the wrong position. Yet I want it tight enough so that when I do pull on it it will give the dog a correction.

Thanks, I made it a little looser. It just seemed way too tight right under the jaw.

He's growing like a weed!!!! What a gorgeous boy!!!!

(Have you ever fitted a prong collar before? A professional trainer I know suggests that the collar should be placed right behind the ears of the dog. Howeve, for the sake of your pup, you shouldn't start him on a prong collar until the professional trainer tells you to. Many trainers now suggest that a dog should start out on a flat buckle, and use training collars as next/last resorts )

I was using a flat buckle collar for quite a while. Can you explain why I should'nt use a prong collar? I have never read/heard about not using these collars on puppies and would love to know why it isn't recommended.

Thanks!
