Thanks to everyone for your informative information, opinions and tips for training!

Ceebers has been through 3 training classes (lure and reward based training) by an excellent professional. He was the one that suggested the prong collar, and is willing to help me with it.

I have to say that when I purchased it last night, I was very nervous and felt guilty???? Not sure why......I guess they look worse than they are....

When we have put the Halti on Ceebers, some people (obviously non dog owners) thought it was something to completely restrain the dog and thought they looked cruel! I guess everyone has their own opinion, and I totally respect that.

We'll see how this goes, I will know instantly if its going to work or not and I am in no way going to hinder my relationship with my boy, that's for sure!

Thanks again guys!
