I wonder if it is as annoying as a child who thinks they know more about life then their parents.


Good luck with training Lute! I have and still use prong collars on the boys.

I don't particurally like them but I feel sometimes they are needed. I don't think your bad. Roxey had one when she was younger and Bon still has one (well that is until his new Blocky Collar comes in).

what's a blocky collar?

what's a blocky collar?

It's just the name of the company that makes the collars. The one we got is a martingale style but it's made especially for BIG DOGS.
Here's the one we got...Blocky Dual Grip
I like it because it does the work of a prong collar with the prongs

Is a prong collar the same as a choker collar?

NO! Chokers are just that and they can cause serious damage to the larynx. If used properly the prong collar works wonders. I used them on my dogs for leash training. What it does is if your dog pulls, the pinch collar gives a suttle pinch to get their attention.

Mark Twain:
"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in JUST seven years."

I use a prong on Tango sometimes, mostly when we're going for a long walk and know I'll be around lots of other dogs on leash. She also uses a martingale, which people seem to think works similar to the prong but it doesn't phase my dogs at all.
