    Proper use of a prong collar

    @imagebeastmarkbeast Gotcha! Thank you so much for giving a thorough and simple explanation. It helps so much! Hubby just bought more hotdogs (since it's the highest reinforced that isn't peanut butter or a dog) and will try this. Thank you!

    Proper use of a prong collar

    @imagebeastmarkbeast He's very superstitious since day 1 so any way we don't make it worse is good in my book. I think ima try rereading your post a few more times in the next few days. I got some of it but some went over my head Like what is an activator. And how to teach it as a motivator...

    Proper use of a prong collar

    @loading Thank you for the tip! Starting my study now that you mentioned it and definitely not taught as much from the gentleman as I just learned in the past 5 minutes. Will keep learning before putting it on doggo.

    Proper use of a prong collar

    @radikal Kk I'll keep that in mind. At baseline, our pup with pressure pulls harder. With a pop, no reaction. But reading what you and our commentators say. We have some new ideas that hopefully will work for him. Random fact with our pup: He has a thick ass neck. Like his neck is the size...

    Proper use of a prong collar

    @radikal Yup, front clipping didn't help either. We tried that for like 1-2 months. Also, other huskey owners at the dog parks didn't find front clipping effective either. We are currently using a no pull freedom harness. Doesn't help with the pulling but at least it doesn't choke him when...

    Proper use of a prong collar

    @weiz Will check them out! We did try to teach our pup leash pressure with a standard collar but that was when we first met him and he was super fearful reactive. So maybe that's why it didn't work then. Buy ima try teaching him again with a standard collar, martingale and then a prong...

    @sumguy Yeah we are planning on studying alot before we try to use the prong collar. We definitely did before we tried using a martingale.

    Proper use of a prong collar

    @warriorforchrist94 We did this for a few weeks without success. BUT it has been months and he trusts us more now. We'll try this again (maybe hotdogs instead of meat balls) and hopefully get a better response.

    Proper use of a prong collar

    @warriorforchrist94 I was trying Beckman's pop method with a martingale but didn't have much success. (Quick small snap the moment they pull etc) But I haven't heard of Tyler, Tom or Larry so I will check them out! Thank you for the recommendation and insight!

    Proper use of a prong collar

    Someone at the dog park lent me their prong collar to see if it helps my dog from pulling. My dog still pulls with a martingale collar and freedom harness. Do you have any advice/tips/considerations on its proper use on a 2 y.o. Rottweiller Huskey Mix (neutered male)? The long story (for those...
