Controversial Topic: Prong Collar
Description Below ⬇️⬇️⬇️
I have heard a lot of the following:
why you use the prong?
It looks cruel
I’m sorry she is using that on you!
Just some of the things I have heard from people who refuse to understand or want to know how they work fixed negative view.
Learn to be open just because you don’t understand, I thought they looked scary too at first. I spent over $400 at the pet store trying everything
1. The flat collar made her puke strangling herself from pulling.
2. Martingale is okay but in overly stimulating moments it’s useless
3. Halti/ gentle leader she pancaked on the ground and wouldn’t move one Canada Day when I was at Main Street,
4. A harness made her raw from her underarms.
5. Slip lead rarely works for her.
I was at my wits end, a friend asked how about try a prong. I also said ohh my! That looks scary, but I needed to do something, before I bought it I YouTubed it and studied the prong from tomdavis America’s Canine Educator. I wanted to do it right, I took time. I did it properly.
I conditioned the tool with treats. 2+ weeks to teach her to have positive association with prong.
1st Step: Let her sniff prong then treat!
2nd Step: Touch her on the face with the prong then treat!
3rd Step: Put it loosely around neck. (DON’T clip it) then take it off, then treat!
4th Step: Put it on (clip it) then take it off, then treat!
5th Step: Teach yield to leash pressure. (Follow me in my direction)
It works for us, I agree they look scary, but if used properly it’s the best tool
For some clients I demonstrate it on my neck, (I don’t have fur) it’s more uncomfortable for me, then a dog.
Learn, be open, try something you havn’t tried, don’t say no unless learning about things.
With my mobility issues. I cannot risk her pulling me over.
It gives us better communication for both of us, there is not a power struggle, we can have a blast just don’t cross my boundaries, th

I took Brooklyn lately to GKOC for touch ups on our obedience and wanted to do some fun activities with Brooklyn instead of going to the gym or yoga. I invited Dan a few times.
He fell in love! He really wanted to start there is a lot of structure and rules with the obedience club Dan just absolutely enjoyed. So I knew he wanted to start. So recently we were talking about a new dog. No one can replace our Tanker Bear! Dan wanted many breeds that were a definite no!! From working with dogs for so many years. But I knew a corgi would be a dog Dan and I could both agree on. So I surprised him! (I have the video, but he doesn’t want it posted) it was a special moment! I accidentally spilled the beens, talking about @tacothecorgi7 and Dan knew right away what dog he was getting! It was a fun time! Excited for our next adventure!
