Prong Collar

So a lot of people think this is a torture device, but actually the prong collar is very effective when used correctly. If your dog pulls on the leash, gently and quickly snap at your wrist and the pressure of the prongs and clicking sound of metal will correct the pace.

The most popular mistake is pulling the dog along while its choking on the prongs...then yes, it becomes a torture device. Also be sure to clip the leash on the 'D' ring so the prongs will release after the correction.

This collar is more humane than the 'choke' collar, because it doesn't pinch their skin and pull out hair, but relies on the method of pressure - the same way a mother dog will pick up pups with their mouths and therefore creating leadership.

Lexi doesn't even need correction on this collar anymore, just by putting it on she knows it means loose lash walking (until she sees a rabbit...)

Pros: Inexpensive, very effective
Cons: Easy to use incorrectly, people criticism

Lexi Rates it: 3 Stars for controlled happy walking~
Mom Rates it: 4 Stars for effectiveness
